Yıldız Park is a historical, urban park in Beşiktaş district of Istanbul, Turkey. It is one of the largest public parks in Istanbul. The park is located in Yıldız quarter between the palaces of Yıldız and Çırağan
Unfortunately, one of the few city parks left in Istanbul, you can walk along the greenery. Inside the park, there is Malta Köşkü, where one can have self-service buffet breakfast
This is a nice park to walk around. It has lots of trees and places to picnic as well as a stream flowing down the centre with a lake and cascades. Towards the rear of the park is a very nice cafe located in a small mansion. It has great views and catches the sun nicely. There are guards who patrol the park presumably for security. It is well worth a visit. He one down side is that there seems to be only one entrance so you have to get down to the seaside road to get in.
A perfect place to escape from the city crowd!
Well recommended for kids too as there are many outdoor playgrounds.
Better to enter from the upper entrance.
A lovely park with nice places to stay and kids playground.. You have to go by car, it a hill and walking is very difficult.
The atmosphere was just wonderful and fortunately, there was only a little number of people that day so I got to explore the garden which was magical and you could sort of feel the history within the walls, with the flowers and everywhere.
There is also a beautiful view of the sea and then you can see right into the castle turned hotel from the garden.
This is not just a park, it is actually a little forest. You can see squirrels and hedgehogs wandering around. You can travel between Upper Ortaköy-Çırağan-Beşiktaş using this park while getting fresh air.
You might encounter wedding photoshoots near the palace.
There are several workout stations inside, it is a good place to do jogging, the road is sloped.
There are also several children parks inside so you and your child will enjoy it.
it was in a very bad conditions when i visited it, paths were dirty and waterfalls were not "working". it looked like it was under some sort of construction. However, some parts were nice and being in nature, in crowded Istanbul felt relaxing.
Very beautiful park.
I was anazed by how clean this park was and how fresh all the plants looked.
There was a very beautiful pond in the middle surrounded by benches for people to sit.
There are cute little cafe’s in one corner of the park and as a local friend told me, people go there to have brunch on weekends.
The only thing is it’s way too hilly and steep for people who have difficulty walking so I wouldn’t really recommend it for people who can’t walk a lot.
Lovely park
Note. It has lots of hills though. If you dont like the husstle
Big place with very very beautiful nature, good for walking with company or even do some running, got small waterfalls and place for kids, it is only need just a little bit of road cleaning, Highly recommend.
Great place for a quick walk. One of the rare parks left in central Istanbul. The green parrots are worth seeing and a picnic under those trees and near the historical buildings would calm anyone. The cars in the park and all the garbage is a bit annoying though.
Great part on a hill
The are around it is breath taking .
We really enjoyed it
Good a place to take a break from the city
This is not just a park, it is actually a little forest. You can see squirrels and hedgehogs wandering around. You can travel between Upper Ortaköy-Çırağan-Beşiktaş using this park while getting fresh air.
Perfect place for morning walks, or just to relax and get some fresh air. You'll hear birds singing their song while you are amazed by the flowers, and different tones of green! Make sure you walk every single part of the park while you're there because it is pretty big and you wouldn't wanna miss a thing ;)
Public garden with 1 major a la Carte restoran, And one coffee shop , nice view to the garden and part of the bosphorus line . Food is normal medium standard .
This is a great time to wander around this park, albeit some parts are currently inaccessible due to upgrades. The lack of foliage on the deciduous trees allows views of some of the adjoining buildings and out into the Bosphorous. You can even be entertained by the activities of the many squirrel families scurrying around on the ground and in the trees
