I was really reluctant to go, as I’m just not an art person, but my friend dragged me along and I’m SO glad she did!! This was such an amazing experience — I would say a must while in Istanbul. I was also able to show my student ID and get a discount on admission. You also MUST go to the terrace viewing on the top level, the architecture of the building with the cityscape is stunning.

Cool atmosphere with tasty/fun cocktails! A great place for day drinks and hanging out. One of the few places in the city with really good chips & dip options. The cocktails are overpriced (but everything in that area with a good view is), but I thought the appetizers were reasonable.
