Istanbul mixes history and modernity. You can go to Topkapi Palace if you are interested in history and at night you can visit Reina and Mojito for a wonderful nightlife. There are lots of perfect nightclubs such as Mojito/Levent and Reina/Ortaköy and historical places such as Sultan Ahmet Mosque/Sultan Ahmet.
