One of Istanbul’s most famous nightlife areas, Nevizade Street, is to be restored, according to a statement released by Beyoğlu Municipality following consultations with shop owners, hotel managers and restaurant owners in the area.

Beyoğlu Mayor Ahmet Misbah Demircan said the Nevizade locals were in favor of the “quality” and “beauty” of the area and that this would be considered in the plans for Nevizade.

Demircan said the municipality was also currently working with hotel owners in nearby Talimhane. During recent years, the sleeping capacity of the Talimhane area, which was around 6,000, increased to 21,000. A similar project in Nevizade will further increase the tourist capacity.
