The park stands on a hillside and is enclosed by high walls. It’s home to two decorative ponds and over 120 species of plants. Its many jogging tracks and picnic tables make the park a very popular recreation area for locals, especially on the weekends and holidays.
With its wide paths, Emirgan Park is also the perfect place for biking.
Like Yıldız Park, Emirgan Park is home to three historic pavilions, named after the color of their exterior: Sarı Köşk (Yellow Pavilion), Pembe Köşk (Pink Pavilion), and Beyaz Köşk (White Pavilion).
A tulip festival takes place at the park annually in a special garden, which was established in the 1960s to revive the city’s tradition of tulip cultivation. During the festival, the tulips, İstanbul’s traditional flower, you will encounter here are truly a sight to behold!
