Hello Halloween Istanbul 🎃🕸️

Istanbul is a city that never sleeps, but when Halloween arrives, it reveals a whole new face. Streets glow with orange lights, cafés decorate their windows with pumpkins, and bars welcome guests with spooky masks and eerie vibes. 🎭 Although Halloween is originally a Western tradition, in recent years Istanbul has embraced it with incredible energy. In neighborhoods like Karaköy, Kadıköy, and Nişantaşı, the night turns into a carnival: vampires, witches, ghosts, and colorful makeup transform the city into a living film set. One of my favorite moments this year was capturing a silhouette of my friend wearing a mask in front of a glowing pumpkin. 🕯️ Each photo I took showed how Istanbul’s vibrant nightlife merges perfectly with the mystical spirit of Halloween. Istanbul already has a mysterious aura because of its rich history, but during Halloween, this mystery feels playful and alive. You can almost imagine a shadow passing by Hagia Sophia or a vampire wandering around Galata Tower. 🦇 #hellohalloween #tripmoment #istanbulhalloween #hellohalloweenistanbul #halloweenvibes #halloweennight #travelwithtrip #istanbulnight
