What are you looking for? Shopping malls? Clubs? Historical places?

A bit of everything I want to feel the city if you know what I mean, more emphasis on historical places or outdoor events.

Istanbul is full of what you need, a little bit of this and that. I recommend you the place Reina, it's great. If you are looking for shopping(not very expensive) I recommend you Istiklal Caddesi in Taksim Square.  For historical places I recommend you kapalı pazar, aya Sophia and sultan ahmet camı.  Have fun
