There are bars and cafes for almost every taste, many of which offer live music, both foreign and Turkish.<br />

Closing times vary from district to district. Bar prices range from reasonable to very expensive. There are<br />

frequent concerts, performances, and music festivals of many descriptions, and in summer many of these take<br />

place outdoors. The main concentration of night life attractions are in the Beyoğlu/Taksim area of the European<br />

side, and Kadiköy on the Asian side of <strong>Istanbul</strong>.<br />

10.8.1. CINEMAS<br />

Most cinemas in <strong>Istanbul</strong> show European and American films in the original version with Turkish sub-titles, with<br />

the exception of children's films, which are typically dubbed in Turkish. Very few cinemas offer original<br />

screenings, though in the past IICS parents have made private arrangements with an area cinema to give a<br />

special group showing.<br />

Some cinemas are chains, while others reside in cultural centers such as Atatürk Kültür Merkezi, Aksanat, etc.<br />

There are annual film festivals. Many cinemas have a discounted admission day once a week. Some luxury<br />

cinemas, like Mayadrom, have plush reclining chairs for maximum comfort.<br />
