Van stands on Highway D300, which runs from the Iranian border 100&nbsp;km east at Kapikoy through Van then along the south lake shore to [[Tatvan]] (100&nbsp;km), and westwards to the rest of Turkey. Highway D975 runs north to Dogubeyazit and south towards Hakkari. Frequent buses and dolmuses ply these highways.

Van is the western terminus of [[Van-Sufian railway|the railway line from Iran]], with freight and passenger trains (suspended between 2015 and 2018). There is a [[train ferry]] (upgraded in 2015) across the lake to Tatvan. There is no railway around the lake; it is intended eventually to build one but to date there are no plans.{{cn|date=August 2023}} This would actually create an unbroken rail link between Europe and the Indian subcontinent, as Tatvan is the terminus of the line to Ankara and Istanbul.

Van has daily flights to Istanbul, Ankara and other major Turkish cities from [[Van Ferit Melen Airport|Ferit Melen Airport]].
