360

There is more than one way to live and feel a city. You can get lost in the streets and explore the wonderful landscapes. You can taste the wonderful tastes of that city. You can have fun like locals. Or you can do these all at the same time.

360 is a magical place where you can experience the past and present of Istanbul at the same time. It is located in one of the most important areas of the city, located on Istiklal Street in Beyoglu. It is located on the top floor of the historic Misir Apartment, which has hosted many important names thus far. When you come here, you will clearly see why its name is 360. You can see the skyscrapers reflecting the current time of the city, and on the opposite side, you can see the landmarks such as Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace standing for ages on the historical peninsula. In the east, while the Asian continent greets you, the ships passing through the Bosphorus will accompany this view. The experience you live in 360 will be truly memorable for you. 

Worldwide Local Tip: Sit at a table against the magnificent views of Istanbul, close your eyes and listen to the sound of the city. If you’re lucky, you can hear the call to prayer from the mosque and then the bells of the St. Antoine Church right next to you. It may be difficult to concentrate on listening to the city because the delicious smell of food perhaps on the next table will distract you. Whatever you pick from the menu, you will not be disappointed. It’s a nice mix of Turkish cuisine and modern cooking. Or you can order from the Sushi Bar if you want. By the way, there is also an award-winning Cocktail Bar, and the cocktails look like a piece of art and taste delicious. You should try at least one of them.

Things will get a little more interesting during dinner. You can watch a live saxophone performance or a trapeze show at a time while you are eating. These shows are just a hint to prepare you for the night. Because on the weekends, when it’s past midnight, this place turns into a nightclub. You can dance until dawn, accompanied by a local or a world-famous DJ. Martin Solveig, Boy George, Taboo from Black Eyed Peas, are some of the names you may recognize.

This city has its own traditions, but it also has a modern face without breaking ties with the past. 360 is one of the places where you can see this and be a part of it in the most beautiful way.
