Ufuk Sarisen Choice:) Top 5 best Night Clubs in Istanbul
As a wedding photographer many foreign couples are asking me about the night life of Istanbul. To answer all the questions and needs, I made a top 5 list below.
Many people says that, Istanbul has the best nightlife in Europe. Believe me that it is not an urban legend. There are hundreds of local and international bar and clubs. Because of its location, between Asia and Europe you can both find oriental and western style or mixed ones. If you want to listen great concerts you can also check Istanbul event halls calendar. You can choose from classics like Metallica, Deep Purple, U2, Madonna to new generation stars like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, One Direction.
