Once an outer garden of Topkapı Palace, Gulhane Park at one time was opened only to the sultan and his harem. Today you, too, can picnic under the shade of trees that date back to the 1800s. Visit a hillside teahouse at the far end of a verdant avenue for views of the bay. On the western edge of the park, the former stable houses the Museum of the History of Science and Technology. Look for the Goths Column, dating from Roman times, which honors a Roman victory over the Goths. Amenities include a big, renovated pool and many kiosks selling snacks, drinks, and ice cream.

A really nice park and it's huge. Great time to walk around and take in the fresh air and it's all free too. But they do have food and dessert vendors inside.

Great location and fairly easy to find. Very well maintained during the winter, would probably be even better during the Spring/Summer.

A wonderful park near some of the most famous attentions in town. Even a month after the fest of the tulip festival it was still full of colour. Many places to relax, strangely not too overcrowded. Has some stone dresses for posing, fountains and huge trees. Seems rather newly made.

What a beautiful and loved park. The tulips are a delight to see this time of the year..all the colours!!! And then all the odd dogs lying on the grass, fast asleep. Well kept clean park with benches to sit and relax on when tired of walking. Parrots, herons and crows in the tall trees, all competing to squawk the loudest
