Rahmi M. Koç Museum

Wonderful for both adults and kids. No need to book before visiting. Don't miss it! Value for money ticket, I spent 2 hours there and u can see many many old vehicles, boats, engines and stuff there! I love the trams very much.

First of all, I wanted to say that everyone should definitely go to this museum. People coming from abroad, during your trip to Istanbul, you definitely have a travel list that includes historical squares with historical monuments, but Rahmi Koç Museum is usually overlooked.

One of the most important things that makes this museum a museum is that you will be able to find every piece of modern history you can think of in the form of a collection here.

You will be able to see the process of cars from past to present, you will be able to see all kinds of classic cars, you will be able to see classic motorcycles, you will be able to see sailboats, sea boats, you will be able to see models of ships, something you have never seen in the collection, old musical instruments and many more things.

I have only one piece of advice for you, and that is to devote one day to this museum, there is an inventory that you can browse from morning to evening. You will take lots of photos, read the articles and listen to the works. If you do not do this, you will not be able to enjoy this museum.

I wanted to put a few car photos I took here. I hope everyone who visits will have fun.

A must visit museum in Istanbul that is great for the whole family. It is next to the Golden Horn so gives amazing views at water level, has a very good restaurant and the museum itself never ceases to surprise me with new things despite having gone there several times. Perfect for kids as they will find boats, trains, cars, airplanes and every other possible mode of transportation that has ever existed in there. This is a great place to learn about the Industrial Revolution, about the automotive industry, about how olive oil used to be made, and just so much more. One review really does not do it justice, you have to go there and enjoy it. It can be busy on weekends but even then it is big that it never feels cramped. The pictures I uploaded are from the side of the museum that are located across the street from the main building as it is often forgotten by visitors and I only discovered it existed a few months ago!

One of the best places in Istanbul if you are planning to spend time in museums and found something interesting! Loads of equipment will not keep you bored and everyone will find something decent for him. Never mind if you are a 5 year old child or 45 y.o. marine engineer, this place with attract you and keep there for a long time!

I went just after 10am Saturday morning. Agreed with all the other reviews. There’s lot to see and it’s well kept. More staff that visitors. Couldn’t find a decent map of the museums and when I did, I ended up trying to translate. It’s not very informative when it comes to explaining what’s on show. Worth a visit. I did it all in under 2 hours but some areas of more interest than others.

Still the best industrial museum of the EU region. Well managed very interesting. You can spend up to 5 hr if you really want to digest every section. Get ready to walk min 8000 steps.

Very nice, I recommend! it is a complex and varied museum where you can find both ships, trains, old collector cars, as well as engines, airplanes and many others. You spend at least 4-5 hours visiting it, they also have very nice and relaxing places, where you can have a snack, at reasonable prices. We served tea on a boat with a very beautiful view. You can also board some trains, a plane, a ship.

Great museum for all ages! The vehicle collection is huge and it includes cars, bicycles, motorcycles, planes and boats. Unfortunately, the submarine is taken away from the museum for the moment, but there are many other things to see there! You can also see how a car engine works or how household objects function. Definetly recommend!

A stunning museum of engineering and technology. it has cars, boats, ships, wagons, trains, planes, steam engines and even all the vintage Macintosh PCs. There is a section where you can see how internal combustion engines, dishwashers, washing machines, and even a submarine work. There are a cafe and restaurant on site.

I definitely recommend visiting with children. A very interesting place. There is a cafe on site. We spent the whole day there and weren't even tired.

It's the second time we visit Istanbul but we didn't know about this place for thr first time. The museum is absolutely amazing! We have visited lots of countries and different museums but none of them can beat Rahmi Koc. We stayed for about 4 or 5 hours there and it wasn't enough. You don't have to be or to have a kid to visit this museum. The place is suitable for all kind of ages!

I and my family were amazed by the a huge collections of items displayed. There were so much to see. The museum takes you back in time. It worth the visit, be prepared to spend 3 to 4 hours or even 5 to see everything.

I tell you, this might be one of the finest museums I’ve ever been to. It’s hard to put into words how eclectic and all encompassing this collection is. Mr Koç, seems like the most interesting man in the world! My hats off to his wherewithal to find a place to display all his interests. Could probably spend a couple days here wandering and learning. Had I taken 100 photos, it wouldn’t do justice. If you’re ever in Istanbul, you simply must come.

A wonderful museum. They have many things. If you're at all interested in the history of technology you should go. We got there by ferry from central Istanbul. The ferry stop is only 5 minutes' walk away (the photo I attach to this was taken from the ferry while we were leaving). We were there for 2.5 hours and could easily have stayed a lot longer.

Nice place to spend time with family. My son likes it very much. Great collection of cars, vehicles, machinery, and equipment. The exhibition provides you the chance to track industry progress. Large number of interactive objects (from the steam engines to dishwasher).

Such an awesome place to visit. Its a private museum. Well kept. Everything is squeaky clean. We spent around two hours. Must must visit

Wonderful place you can see everything in 5 hours but worth to every minute

At first, I thought the museum only has a big single room full of old cool cars. Boy was I wrong... The place spans over multiple rooms and 2 floors. The collection not only includes cars from the start of the last century, but you can also find trams, trains, motorcycles, bikes, boats, yachts, some planes, helicopters and even a submarine. As you can see the collection has a wide variety of means of transportation and there are also some exhibitions which showcase how various engines work.

The place is great. It is a mustbvisit if you have children or teens. They can learn alot from this place. Many old cars, boats and planes Are available.

It is a must visit. It has all kinds of road transportation historical items, and their details. Not just cars but bikes, motor bikes, ships, ox carts and horse carriages. And interesting facts about all of them. The science museum on the first floor, in the first corridor makes it a perfect place to visit with children.
