Gulhane

  Gulhane sits at the edge of the historic Sultanahmet district in Istanbul, adjacent to the iconic Topkapi Palace. Dating back to the Ottoman Empire, this park was once part of the palace gardens, providing a rich glimpse into the city's royal past. Covering approximately 100,000 square meters, Gulhane serves as a central green space for both locals and visitors, offering pleasant walking paths and various species of trees, including the fragrant linden and impressive cypress. Spring is a particularly beautiful time to visit, as the park bursts with colorful tulips in April, showcasing the city's floral heritage. While exploring, guests can stroll through the charming paths, enjoy historical monuments, and take in views of the Bosphorus, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon.
