One of the few parks in Istanbul, bustling with people and tulips in early May. Take a rest there after you have visited some of the nearby attractions.

This is a lovely park. After having a busy morning it was lovely to walk through here and sit on a bench and watch the world go by! The tulips are spectacular.

I have walked through Gülhane Park in september 2011. It was very peacefull and not crowded at all. I was in Istanbul for the 15th time, but never before found the time to go in.

Flowering trees, birds' nests and cosy wooden pavillions all over the place make the park a must-visit attraction. It is right next to Topkapi palace and has an amazing view from up the hill in the very end of the palace wall

Gulhane park is very close to most of the tourist sites. It is a very relaxing place and very safe as it is mostly families. Good place to get away from the crowds. Its very beautiful at sunset, and you can frequently see parrots and storks, who build their nests there.
