Your Experience

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.

Booking FAQs

Wear comfortable walking shoes because the park covers a large open space, and you will be on your feet most of the time. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water if you are visiting during the summer months, as much of the park is open-air with little shade. Download the Miniatürk mobile app beforehand if you want to use the audio guide feature.

Pets are not allowed inside Miniatürk, except for service animals. Bicycles, scooters, and skateboards are prohibited within the park grounds. Flying drones over the park is not allowed unless you have special permission. Smoking is not permitted in most areas of the park. Bringing large quantities of outside food and beverages is discouraged, especially for groups.

Miniatürk is fully wheelchair accessible, with wide pathways and ramps throughout the park for easy movement. Wheelchairs are available for rent at the entrance, although it is best to call ahead to confirm availability. Accessible restrooms are available on-site.

Cafés inside the park offer a variety of Turkish snacks and drinks, perfect for a relaxing break during your visit. A gift shop near the entrance sells miniature replicas and souvenirs if you want to take home a memory of your visit. You can enjoy additional attractions like a miniature railway, remote-controlled boats, and even a helicopter simulation ride inside the park. Download the Miniatürk mobile app before your visit to access detailed information and stories about each miniature model. If you are driving, on-site parking is available with space for around 300 vehicles. For a quieter and more relaxed visit, try to arrive right when the park opens around 9am, especially on weekdays.
