Full description

Nakkaştepe National Garden is a big, green park on the Asian side of Istanbul, best known for its elevated view of the Bosphorus and the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, which feels very close from the lawns. Tall trees, magnolias and wisteria give it colour in season, and there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas.

A children's play area and a zip line add activity for families. Entry is free and the garden is open from early morning to 10 pm, making sunrise walks and evening visits both possible.
