Where to stay in Istanbul if we are only interested in the city nightlife?

Are you interested in parties, nightclubs, restaurants, discos and other attributes of a nightlife? So stop in Taksim area. Yes, this is the ancient district of Istanbul but there are no districts of other kind in this city. Incidentally Taksim was a place for hangouts and nightlife even in the days of Byzantium. Many grand people enjoyed to relax there. Nothing has changed since that time, only entertainment became available not only for magnates but also for those millions of tourists who travel to Istanbul for pleasure.

Clubs and restaurants with entertainments programs, movie theaters and shows, bookstores and cult cafes... Look for all of this at Taksim. However it’s not even necessary to look. All of this is placed at the largest area avenue which crosses Taksim. It is the center of Istanbul nightlife, the Istiklal Avenue. A huge pedestrian street, it is bright and festively lit and life doesn’t stop here 24 hours a day. The nightlife of course. The party starts at Istiklal the moment you go out. A couple of glasses in some of the hundreds of cafes, a slow walk, a night at a club or in a cinema, an incendiary rest at Istiklal until morning... Here is an exemplary program of Taksim evenings for the nightlife lovers.

It is better to stay here so choose a hotel in Taksim. Fortunately you’ll find a large selection of high-grade hotels with a high level of service and comfort. They are slightly more expensive than hotels in Sultanahmet area but are worthy of it. And the difference in price is compensated by taxi trips in the mornings.
