İstanbul / Fatih · Urban parks
A green walking break beside the palace grounds on the historic peninsula.
Gülhane is a public park in the historic green area surrounding Topkapı Palace. Its tree-lined paths provide an outdoor pause during a day of museum visits.
Give it time of its own rather than treating it solely as a shortcut. A slow walk and a rest can make a busy itinerary more comfortable. Museums and businesses within the park need their own admission checks.
