In addition to enjoying historic centers and beautiful locations during the daytime, why not have fun at night? If you are a nighthawk, see our recommendations for nightclubs in Turkey.
Night Life in Istanbul
The nightlife of Istanbul, which hosts the most important nightclubs and entertainment centers not only in Turkey but also in the world, is very colorful. After you enjoy the Byzantine and Roman ruins, historic sites, and nature, you can have a different kind of experience in the night. The nightclubs along the Bosporus Coast are especially popular. In these elite clubs, there are revues, shows, and dance performances organized throughout the night.
If you are looking for more authentic local spaces, you can choose clubs around Istiklal Street and Taksim Tunnel. Taksim hosts the most important nightclubs. In particular, you can opt for the clubs between Çiçek Pasajı and Nevizade, where you will find traditional fasıl nights with authentic Turkish booze. Nightclubs in Bebek, Levent, and Etiler also attract the attention of tourists as luxury venues. Istanbul’s most famous nightclub is Sortie Club, which is in Kuruçeşme. 12 months a year, there are 7 different restaurants where you can enjoy the music until the sunrise.
