About

Gülhane Park is a historic urban park located adjacent to the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district. Once part of the palace's outer garden, it was opened to the public in 1912, making it one of Istanbul's oldest public parks. The park boasts beautifully manicured gardens, lush green spaces, and tree-lined pathways, providing a tranquil oasis amidst the city. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, relax on benches, and admire the blooming flowers, especially during the annual tulip festival. It also offers charming views of the Bosphorus from certain vantage points.
