Miniaturk

  Miniaturk sits in the Sütlüce neighborhood of Istanbul, near the Golden Horn. Opened in 2001, this expansive park features over 100 meticulously crafted miniature models representing significant landmarks from Turkey's rich history, including the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace, all scaled down to 1/25 of their original size. Each detailed model allows visitors to explore Turkey's architectural diversity in one place. The park is particularly lovely to stroll through in April when the flowers are in full bloom. Visitors can enjoy educational displays and guided tours while wandering the scenic paths lined with lush greenery.
