Istanbul is a city that also has so much to offer at night. If you are looking into experiencing the
nightlife in this city, then here we are going to list the areas that you should consider.
Believe it or not, Istanbul is also quite famous for its nightlife where you'll enjoy great foods,
cocktails, music of all kinds, and stunning views of the city if you choose a place near the Bosphorus
or a good rooftop. So let's get started but before SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more about Istanbul.
And finally tonight we are going to show you what Istanbul looks like at night especially on
a weekend because also many of our followers have been asking us what Istanbul looks like at night
and of course, if you like to enjoy the nightlife what areas you can go here in the city,
Istiklal and Taksim are the most active areas of the city at night, from restaurants, shops, cafes,
bars, pubs, and even nightclubs, whatever it is that you're looking for, you'll find it here for sure.
This passage is on Istiklal street and here is recommended to those who would like to enjoy
good "mezeler" and raki which is a Turkish alcoholic beverage.
If you don't want to go too far and stay close to your area, then this is a good place.
This was Nevizade street and here is where locals from Istanbul will love to come
because here is just next to Istiklal street in Taksim and here we can find a lot of meyhane,
bars, and pubs, and as you could see it was pretty crowded
today is Saturday night so here if you're looking for something lively and with good
environment, you should definitely come here and it's very close to most of the tourist areas.
So basically here on Istiklal street and Taksim you will find many areas where you can have
and enjoy a good night in Istanbul many locals tend to come here as well but not on the main
street of Istiklal basically you will be able to find like in Nevizade street or in some little
other areas many pubs, bars, and meyhane where many locals come here but also you need
to keep into consideration that if you want to hang out here in Taksim or Istiklal street prices
might be more expensive than in other more local areas because this area of course is
much more touristy and also many tourists hang out here at night so just keep that in mind.
This is another famous area near Istiklal street and this one will be closer
to the funicular connecting Istiklal street and Galata Tower so here also
many locals come and you will find many pubs, bars, and a good environment.
Now we came all the way down towards Galata Tower and now we're taking the tram
all the way to Kabataş and then we're heading to Beşiktai. Beşiktaş is one of our favorite
areas especially to enjoy some time with our friends and we're gonna be showing you right now.
And of course, I will give you a tip as a local. In case you really
want to go and have some beers with friends and enjoy your night,
afterward if you get a little bit hungry, just go grab some kokoreç or midye
dolmasi which are these stuffed mussels and these go perfectly after a night of beers.
So finally we are in one of our favorite areas to hang out with our friends and this one is
in Beşiktaş in the European side of Istanbul and here just as in Taksim we will find a lot of
pubs and little bars where you can have fun and of course it will be much more local apart from
all of this also this area is student-friendly because around here there are many universities
and a lot of students and international ones are also living in this area so that is how
you will find a more youthful environment and everything and it's very lively and also today
it's much more crowded than normal because today there was a match with Beşiktaş and another
football team so Beşiktaş won and they are celebrating here because Beşiktaş
is the main district of this football team.
And of course, we cannot forget to mention that Istanbul is so famous for its rooftops and clubs
along the Bosphorus especially in Bebek or Beyoğlu area. You cannot leave Istanbul
without experiencing a good rooftop. If you want to check our recommendations on rooftops, pubs,
and nightclubs, where we have prepared a list with the exact location, then you can check our digital
book available in English and Spanish where you'll also find many other helpful tips for your trip.
And last but not least, we also have Kadikoy on the Asian side of the city and this one is for sure
my favorite place for hanging out sometimes every once in a while with my friends or with my husband
so here also it is a very local area you will find a lot of options and varieties of pubs,
bars, even mayhanes, little restaurants, and a few nightclubs as well.
Now that you already know that Istanbul has a really good nightlife, now you already have so many
options to choose from and enjoy the nightlife in the city, of course, also there are many other
areas like Nişantaşı or Karaköy but of course we couldn't show you each one of them because the city is quite big
but the main ones are the ones that we are showing you. And as always we would love to
