Pause at Maçka Democracy Park, a leafy city retreat near Nişantaşı. Stroll its old-tree pathways, grab breakfast at a park cafe, and ride the cable car if you have an Istanbul Card.
Full description
Maçka Democracy Park is a city park in central Istanbul with two playgrounds, two outdoor fitness areas, cafes and restaurants and an artificial pond among old trees. Good pathways make it suited to an afternoon walk, and it is a popular spot for breakfast with children.
