Emirgan Park, Sarıyer, İstanbul, Turkey
The Emirgan Park is one of the biggest parks in Istanbul located in the Sarıyer district, on the European coast of the Bosphorus. It is said to be the most beautiful park in Istanbul, but in my opinion the Gülhane Park is way cozier. Maybe you have noticed that in all the lists “What to visit in Istanbul” the Emirgan Park is somewhere in Top 10. It is really nice, full of colorful tulips , amazing fountains, green picnic areas, playgrounds for kids and restaurants with a breathtaking view.
Most of the park is full of families with kids, but you will also see some brides posing for their wedding pictures or girls jogging around (the jungle atmosphere and the routs are really good). If you have a free day and you are lazy as hell, then you should just go there and relax. And if you are lucky, you will see the swans (not only white)! Before visiting the park, it is a good idea to know more about its history. Maybe it would make you dream during the walk in the park or imagine all the history in there.
