Night Life at İstiklal Caddesi

A street full of life.

Istiklal Caddesi and Taksim Square they are both places you want to be at night while your visit Istanbul.   I am sure you have heard of both in the news since they're zero ground when it comes To protest against government.   But today I want to show you the street night life... the colorful light sources such as lampposts, neon signs, store windows, car lights, and bare bulbs. Reflections in shop windows and most of all people ready  to enjoy the night.

İstiklal Caddesi


This long pedestrian road is always filled with people – from all walks of life, all tastes of music, and all sorts of passports. And the bars that line this street offer an equally diverse mix. There are restaurant on each side of the street and in between the tramway travels up and down to taksim square.
