CRR Concert Hall Istanbul
Istanbul's Cultural Hub
CRR Concert Hall has become my go-to destination for exceptional performances at an affordable price, all within a welcoming and well-equipped venue. From internationally acclaimed jazz masters to captivating symphonic orchestrates and dynamic dance performances, the hall consistently offers top-notch entertainment. What's remarkable is the accessibility of these shows, with ticket prices ranging from just 4 to 8 euros, thanks to its municipal management.
One of the hall's standout features is its inclusive seating structure, ensuring a great view from every angle. Yet, it's surprisingly easy to secure tickets for the front rows, enhancing the concert experience even further. Before the shows, I often enjoy a bite at Dekk (an open-air food hall), conveniently located just a 5-minute walk away, especially when the weather is good.
Inside the hall, a small café offers a selection of snacks and beverages, while a cloakroom adds to the convenience. The concerts typically start around 20:00 or 20:30 and conclude by 22:00, making it convenient for those with early mornings or other plans afterwards. In some instances, there are free performances in the lobby as well. Follow their Instagram page to avoid missing out.
Situated in Harbiye district, it is within walking distance of Nisantasi, Beyoglu, and Besiktas. For those arriving by car, it's worth noting that CRR Concert Hall is situated in a traffic-prone area, so it's advisable to plan your journey accordingly to ensure a smooth arrival.
