Nightlife & Entertainment

Entertainment &Night Life

Istanbul offers nightlife and entertainment in any direction you want to. The choice is incredible and there are several centers of nightlife all over the city: Ortakoy at the Bosphorus (European side), the Istiklal Street from Taksim to Tünel where you will find many students(European side), Aksaray with the more Turkish style nightlife and red-light district (European side) and Kadikoy with its various choice of bars and little restaurants (Asian side).

But be very careful about going into bars that do not display a price list outside their premises - in fact, don't. You cannot assume the price of anything so if the bar is not displaying a price list, it's usually because they don't want you to know they're charging $50 for one beer. Have a few of those, and imagine the bill. The staff will become very agressive with you if you've not enough money to pay, or if you protest about the prices. They will search you for money or credit cards.
