The Tulip Festival, organized every year in April, will visually saturate Istanbulites this year as well. Tulips, one of the most important symbols of Istanbul, are waiting for Istanbulites and all visitors at Emirgan Grove, Gülhane Park, Sultanahmet Square, Göztepe 60th Year Park and Hıdiv Grove between April 1-30.
It is possible to accept the tulip festivities organized during the so-called ‘Tulip Age’ in our history as the starting point of this holiday. Today’s celebrations date back to the 1960s. Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality has been promoting and exhibiting the tulip plant since the 1960s.
In this magnificent feast of tulips blooming all around Istanbul, Istanbul residents and visitors have the chance to enjoy the beauties of nature to the fullest. All Istanbulites will host thousands of different colored tulips throughout April.
