3 guys (26M) visiting Istanbul for 4 days in November – need itinerary + nightlife / bars recommendations
Hey everyone,
We’re 3 guys, all around 26, heading to Istanbul this November for 4 days. First time in the city and looking to make the most of it.
We would love some more **local / fun suggestions** for things to do.
Specifically looking for:
**Day activities:**
Cool neighborhoods worth exploring beyond the main tourist spots
Unique experiences (food tours, hammams, rooftop views, etc.)
Any hidden gems people usually miss in 4 days
**Nightlife:**
Best areas for bars / clubs (we’ve heard Taksim, Karaköy, Kadıköy, etc.)
Good clubs with decent music and crowd (EDM / hip-hop / commercial mix)
Chill bars for pre-drinks and rooftop spots
Strip clubs if there are any
**Social vibe:**
Places where a young international crowd hangs out
Bars/clubs that are actually good for meeting people and having a fun social night out
Also open to any general tips:
What to avoid and all
Appreciate any recommendations from locals or people who’ve been recently 🙌
