Skip the ticket lines and explore Miniatürk, an open-air park where Turkey’s greatest landmarks come to life in miniature, with an audio tour available in seven languages.

Getting started

Upon arrival at Miniatürk, head straight to the entry gate where your skip-the-line ticket will be scanned. Keep a valid ID handy. Once you've passed through security, step into one of Istanbul’s most delightful outdoor museums, ready to walk across centuries of history, all in a single afternoon.

What to expect

Opened in 2003 along the scenic Golden Horn, Miniatürk is home to over 130 detailed models, recreating everything from ancient wonders like the Temple of Artemis to modern icons like the Bosphorus Bridge. Designed at 1:25 scale, the models capture the spirit of Turkey’s history, architecture, and cultural pride, all in one fascinating walk.

As you stroll through the park, your audio guide brings each site to life, sharing legends of Troy’s ancient battles, the transformation of Hagia Sophia from church to mosque, and the formation of Cappadocia’s dreamlike valleys shaped by centuries of wind and rain.
