Miniaturk

7 İmrahor Caddesi, Örnektepe, İstanbul

Description

Miniatürk is a park with over 130 miniature models (1:25 scale) of various buildings and villages in Turkey. About half is from Istanbul and the other half from Anatolia and other territories just outside the country that were part of the Ottoman empire. Examples include the town of Mardin with its stone houses and Istanbul's Hagia Sophia Mosque.

Access & Transport

Address: Örnektepe Mahallesi, İmrahor Caddesi, No.7 in Beyoğlu The park is located at the northeastern end of the Goldern Horn, along Imrahor Cd. There are several bus services that stop at or near the park from Eminönü (47), Taksim (36T) and Sultanhamet (TB1). More details here: http://www.miniaturk.com.tr/en/ulasim.html

Instructions & Recommendations

The area is not sheltered from the sun so wear a cap / hat in the summer. There are no other tourist attractions nearby, except for the Dolphinarium.

Meta review

The best reviews come from parents for whom this is a convenient way to show their children the highlights of the country. There is also a maze and playground to keep the younger ones entertained. As for adults, they tend to find it enjoyable without being exceptional.

Environmental & Social

No environmental data but the carbon footprint is low. Socially neutral

Conclusion

Miniatürk is much more positioned as a theme park alternative (without the thrills) for local residents rather than a tourist destination since travellers to the country come to see the real thing(s). That being said, it can be a good way to discover the key monuments and sights outside of Istanbul and be inspired for your next Turkey trip.
