The Istanbul Jewelry Show (IJS) holds its 60th edition in March to April 2027 at the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM), near Yeşilköy on the European side of the city. Held twice a year, in spring and autumn, IJS is one of the world's largest jewellery trade fairs and the leading sourcing platform bridging Europe, the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It fills IFM's halls with gold, diamond, gemstone, silver and finished-jewellery exhibitors, drawing tens of thousands of buyers, retailers and manufacturers from dozens of countries. Because IFM sits beside the airport district rather than in a dense hotel core, the well-located business hotels around Yeşilköy, Başakşehir and along the metro line fill quickly when the show is on, and the twice-yearly rhythm keeps demand high each edition. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from the Istanbul Expo Center, so you can find hotels genuinely close to IFM instead of ending up on the far side of a sprawling city.

How do you get to Istanbul Jewelry Show (IJS)?
From Istanbul Airport (IST)
- IST, the main international airport on the European side, is the listed nearest airport, roughly 40 to 60 minutes by road to IFM depending on traffic.
- The Havaişı airport buses and the M11 metro link IST to the city; taxis and prebooked cars are the most direct option to the venue.
- Confirm your hotel's transfer or a fixed-fare car, as the IST to IFM route crosses busy motorways.
Alternative via Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)
- Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Asian side and is considerably farther from IFM.
- If you fly into SAW, allow well over an hour and expect to cross to the European side.
- Where possible, choose IST for a shorter transfer to the venue area.
How do you get around during Istanbul Jewelry Show (IJS)?
Getting around Istanbul and to the venue
- Istanbul's metro, tram and Marmaray rail network is extensive; IFM sits near the Yeşilköy area served by metro connections.
- Taxis and ride-hailing (via the BiTaksi/Uber apps) are widely available but subject to heavy traffic.
- The IFM site is large. Confirm your hall and entrance and allow buffer time on peak show days.
Do you need a visa for Istanbul Jewelry Show (IJS)?
Entry guidance for Türkiye
- Many nationalities enter Türkiye visa-free for short stays; others use the official online e-Visa system arranged before travel.
- Apply for an e-Visa in advance only through the official government portal if your nationality requires one.
- Ensure your passport meets Türkiye's validity requirement (generally at least six months beyond your stay).
Entry and e-Visa rules change and vary by nationality; always verify with the official Türkiye e-Visa portal or nearest embassy/consulate before booking.
First time at Istanbul Jewelry Show (IJS)?
- Book early: IFM's twice-yearly show fills the nearby airport-district hotels quickly.
- Stay on the European side near IFM or the metro to avoid a long cross-city or cross-continent commute.
- Carry some Turkish lira for taxis and small purchases, though cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants.
- Build in generous transfer time: Istanbul traffic is heavy and the airport-to-venue routes can be slow.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- A hotel near IFM or on a direct metro line beats staying in the historic centre, which is far from the venue.
- Travel to and from the halls outside peak commuter windows to dodge the worst motorway congestion.
- Nişantaşı, Levent and the Bosphorus districts are strong for business dinners, but factor the cross-city trip in.
- Prioritise the opening days for serious buyer appointments before the halls get busiest.
