All Istanbul Nightlife

Our Local Experts say:

Istanbul has one of the best nightlife scenes in Europe, and in this vast city the bars and nightclubs in Istanbul are for the most part concentrated around certain districts.

On the European side, Istiklal Street and its surrounds have the largest concentration of nightlife in the city, though Nisantasi, the Galata Bridge and Sultanahmet are also popular. During summer, many head to the Bosphorus suburb of Ortakoy to dance the night away while on the Asian side, Kadikoy and Caddebostan reign.
