About Gulhane Park

Striking and pristine landscaping, small and brilliantly blue lakes is what one experiences at the Royal Park, Gulhane. Earlier only accessible to the Royal members of the Topkapi Palace, it was opened to public viewing in the year 1912. A place to enjoy picnics and long walks amidst the fresh smell of the flowerbeds and tall trees, the park is a sure shot place to make those Instagram memories come alive. Its intricate designs and patterns mimic the Iznik form of craftwork and create ornate textures using symmetry and different colors. Picturesque, unique and immaculate designing come together here.
