Istanbul blooms with its vibrant celebration in April with the Tulip Festival, known as Lale Festivali in Turkish. Introduced just twenty years ago by local authorities, this festival aims to highlight Istanbul‘s deep-rooted connection with tulips, reclaiming the flower’s significance from its European connotations. Interestingly, tulips were first cultivated in Istanbul before spreading to other regions around the globe.

Particularly striking showcases can be found in Gülhane Park, Yıldız Park, and Sultanahmet Square, where millions of vibrant blossoms come together to create a breathtaking spectacle.
