"(EN) It is the oldest and one of the most expansive public parks in Istanbul. Gülhane Park is a historical urban park and it is adjacent to and on the grounds of the Topkapı Palace.
Right before get into the park you will see some food trucks selling some breads/pastries, you can try the famouse Simit there and personalize it with cream cheese or nutella if you prefer and have a snack while walking through the park.

Justo antes de entrar al parque verás algunos carritos de comida que venden panes/bocadillos, puedes probar el famoso Simit allí y personalizarlo con queso crema o nutella si lo prefieres para comer mientras caminas por el parque."

"Gülhane Parkı (Rose House Park) is a historical urban park in the Eminönü district of Istanbul, Turkey; it is adjacent to and on the grounds of the Topkapı Palace. The south entrance of the park sports one of the larger gates of the palace.
Gülhane Park was once part of the outer garden of Topkapı Palace, and mainly consisted of a grove. A section of the outer garden was planned as a park by the municipality and opened to the public in 1912. The park previously contained recreation areas, coffee houses, playgrounds etc."

"Gulhane Park, once the royal garden of the Topkapi Palace, offers a tranquil escape amidst its lush landscapes and colorful flowerbeds, serving as a serene backdrop to the bustling city life of Istanbul. Hidden within its grounds is the Gulhane Park Cistern, an ancient reservoir that whispers tales of the city's Byzantine past, inviting visitors to explore its quiet, historical depths."
