Emirgan Park, Urban park in Sarıyer district, Istanbul, Turkey
The 117-acre Emirgan Park stretches along the European shore of the Bosphorus, containing walking paths, ornamental ponds, and three historical pavilions.
Sultan Murad IV granted this land to Emir Gûne Han in the 17th century, leading to the area's transformation from Feridun Bey Park to Emirgan Park.
The park hosts the International Tulip Festival each April, displaying hundreds of thousands of tulips in patterns that celebrate Turkish horticultural traditions.
Three restored pavilions within the park serve as restaurants and cafes, with the Yellow, Pink, and White structures offering different dining experiences.
The park maintains over 120 tree species, including Stone Pine and Turkish Pine, while providing views of the Bosphorus from elevated terraces.
