Currently Yıldız Park is a beautiful garden complex with set in a very large park of flowers, plants and trees, gathered from every part of the world dating from the Ottoman era. Park grounds offer panoramic views of the Bosphorus. The park is a popular picnic place especially for the weekends. Two beautiful old pavilions, namely Çadır and Malta pavilions, are used to rest, drink tea, eat breakfast and have lunch.
History
Yıldız Park was once part of the imperial garden of Yıldız Palace. Extending down the slopes from the palace, this walled park was reserved only for palace dwellers during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II.
The area of Yıldız used to be a forest in Byzantine times. Starting during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the sultans made it their hunting grounds. In the next centuries, it remained as a grove behind the seaside palaces. The neighbourhood began to flourish in the wake of construction of the palace in the 19th century. It took its name from the first pavilion, namely Yıldız Kasrı, commissioned by Selim III in early 19th century.
The 25-acre (0.10 km2) of the palace’s external garden were surrounded by high walls and detached from a grove during the reign of Abdulhamid II in the 19th century. A small artificial lake, pavilions, summer houses and a porcelain factory were established in this section.
Yıldız Park, Istanbul
It is a perfect place if you need to escape the noise of the Istanbul, Yildiz Park is the right place. A pretty, leafy oassis alive with birds and picnickers… It is the imperial garden of Ciragan Palace. Park has two pavillions. These pavilions is used by the Sultans to enjoy the surrounds. when you entered the main entrance opposite the ciragan palace, and if you walk around 10 minutes to uphill. From T intersection at the top if you take left, this is going to bring you to Cadir Kosk. There is a small lake in front of this pavilion which I like a lot. the other one is Malta pavilion. on th right side of the Yildiz Park. You can have light lunch at malta pavilion with the view of Bosphorus from it’s terrace.
A taxi from sultanahmet coast around 15 tl if there is no traffic. But it is a really nice way to walk under the exteremly big trees.
It is interesting to visit the Palace. but the most important is the garden. The last Sultan that lived there did not leave the surrounded gardens. We are talking of an immense Park.

После основных стамбульских красот не впечатлил, посетила его в 14 визит. Но в хорошую погоду открывается прекрасный вид на море с возвышенности.
OK, not quite, it's not central and it's not as big, but it has qualities similar to those which make New York central park a special place. We went on Sunday as this is when the locals go to the park and we wanted to experience some local culture.
Немного сложно туда было попасть – не могли сразу найти вход, но затем с удовольствием погуляли по этому парку перед отъездом из Стамбула. Парк достаточно большой, немного не ухоженный. В будний день людей мало, есть Мальтийский павильон – нам неплохой ресторан с местной кухней по умеренным ценам.
We were lucky enough to see the park during the Tulip festival, and although the entire park hadn't received it's spring makeover, it was gorgeous to sit back and enjoy.. This park makes for great pictures.
This is a nice park if you happen to be in the area and would like to take a quiet stroll or have a picnic. Our hotel was across the street and it was easy for us to visit. We spent about half an hour in the park then decided to leave because we were getting lost inside.
Yildiz park itself is so relaxing.
The park was very serene and peaceful, but loads of dogs around the park. However, I was really glad they did not bother us in any way, they seem to enjoy the sun and peacefulness of the area as well. Quite a hike, so good walking shoes are a must.
Yildiz Park é un bel parco situato nel cuore della citta’, fra il quartiere di Ciragan e Besiktas. Si puo’ entrare dentro con il taxi sia dalla porta di Ciragan che da Besiktas, oppure anche dall’alto. Il parco é abbastanza grande con tanti alberi e fiori, che danno sempre una freschezza durante estate e diventa molto frequenttao dalla gente locale soprattutto durante la fine settimana. Ci sono dei bei locali con un bel panorama del Bosforo.
Nel parco ci sono due ristoranti, uno é del municipo con buoni prezzi, l’altro invece é un buon ristorante ma un po’ piu’ caro. Tutti e due sono consigliabili, ovviamente al secondo ristorante il servizio é migliore rispetto a quello del municipio.
Di fianco al parco c’é anche un palazzo-museo: il Palazzo di Yildiz ed il Chalet di Yildiz, a parte di un negozietto-museo delle porcellane di Yildiz, tutti dal periodo ottomano, dal diciottesimo secolo.
Se vi fermate per diversi giorni ad Istanbul consiglierei di visitare anche questo parco, soprattutto nei mesi estivi o primavera per goderselo di piu’. E’ un posto molto tranquillo e di relax, sia da soli che con l’amante, oppure con la famiglia.
Yildiz Park was once part of the Yildiz Palace complex and enjoys spectacular views of the Bosphorus.The Park is especially popular with locals, who come here to drink tea and enjoy a picnic while escaping the heat and pressures of the city.
Once a large forest, the area it occupies was once used as a hunting ground for Ottoman rulers and was a favourite haunt of Sultan Abdulhamid II, who later put up walls and added a lake, houses and a porcelain factory.
The Park is divided into two parts and is connected to the remains of the nearby Ciragan Palace Kempinski by bridge. It has a large variety of trees, shrubs and flowers from around the world including cedar, pine, oak and cypress which date from the Ottoman period.
The lake occupies its centre and has a large fountain.
