ISTANBUL NIGHT LIFE
Behind the Galatasaray high scholl, this fabulous 19th- century building was originally a school for the Italian Workers' Association. Beautifully converted into a glamorous bar and restaurant, Cezayir throngs with the city's literati and glitterati. The baroque silver and white dining room is stunning. The back room, with original floor tiles, soaring ceilings and a long wooden bar, is a stylish place for sharing some of the most inventive meze in Istanbul. There's a louche lounge with large mirrors and sofas, and a garden

Aloisio Gritti built a large palace with surroundings gardens, that been refereed as Beyoglu since the 16th century. Also at the 16th century, the permission to build consulates in this area was granted to Westerns who decided to permanently keep their representative in the Ottoman capital. Today Beyoglu is one of the main commercial points of Istanbul with an European lifestyle. Istiklal Caddesi is the name of the main road of Beyoglu. We recommend you to walk on Beyoglu - Istiklal Caddesi. This way, you will have an idea on how the Turks live their daily life.
Night life is interesting in Beyoglu. Until late at night you will find people enjoying their meal in a restaurant, getting out of cinemas, having a beer in a bar or simply walking on the streets.
A trip to Istanbul will not be complete without seeing this area.
