Istanbul Card
You can get an Istanbul Card at almost every metro or tram station. It is a must as public transport is very convenient and working well in Istanbul. Once you buy the card you can use it as long as you want for bus, metro, ferry etc.

Night Club Scam
It is directed to solo male travelers usually. Just don't follow any strangers inviting you to a bar to meet people. The trick is they invite you a normal place and offer you drinks. But in the second place if you follow them there is gonna be a highly elevated bill.
