We’re walking in a park that located in between the Sirkeci and Sultanahmet neighborhood of Fatih district, Gulhane Park (Rose Garden) is one of the most beautiful parks in Istanbul for both tourists and locals. “Gulhane” means “home of the rose” in Turkish.
The park was once part of the grounds of Topkapı Palace, accessible only to the royal court.(Think about that. You have a garden with bosphorus view..) These days crowds of locals come here to picnic under the many trees, promenade past the formally planted flowerbeds, and enjoy wonderful views of the Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara and Princes’ Islands from the park’s northeastern edge.
