Inkaya Historical Plane Tree
Gulhane Park
Don't rush through it! Take your time to explore different corners of the park - there are sometimes hidden spots that offer beautiful views and photo ops!
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. The pathways are lovely but can get a bit uneven - I wish I had left my flip-flops at home!
There's a little cafe in the park that has great views. I suggest stopping by for a cup of Turkish tea; it’s not pricey and the ambiance is just fab.
Uludag National Park
Try to take the cable car in the morning, around 9 AM. There's less crowd, and you'll have the best chance to enjoy the views with fewer people around. Trust me, it's totally worth it.
I suggest checking the weather before you go. It can change quickly up there! When I visited, I wasn’t prepared for the chilly winds and missed out on some views. Bring layers just in case!
Yildiz Park
Wear comfortable shoes! The park is quite large and you’ll want to explore all the hidden corners without your feet killing you
Saitabat Waterfall
Uludag Mountain
Istanbul Aquarium
If you're planning to visit, I suggest going on a weekday, preferably around 10 AM to avoid crowds. It was so much calmer then!
Make sure to check out the interactive exhibits! They were super fun and really made the experience special. I think I spent way more time there than I expected!
Don’t forget to take your time in the tunnel; it’s such an awesome photo op! Just be ready for some big crowds if you go at peak times!
Bursa Zoo
I recommend visiting early in the morning around 9 AM. The animals are more active and you get to avoid the crowds. Trust me, it's way more enjoyable!
