Miniaturk - small Turkey

Here are some of the least known facts about the showcase of Turkey, the mini Turkey park.

Miniaturk is an amazing place on the bank of the Golden Horn gulf. It’s a huge park where all the historical monuments of Turkey are on display: from Troyan horse to Kappadokien plateau and Saint Sophia Cathedral. They are of a miniature size compared to original monuments. If compared to the height of a person, they look huge.


Not many people know that:


... the total area of the park is 100 square meters! The park is by the Golden Horn gulf. Here are 105 architectural models on display that were chosen in Turkey and abroad.

... all the miniature models displayed in park are made in a one-twenty-fifth scale model. Later the authorities plan to put on display about 400 miniature models...

... you will find a miniature railway in Miniaturk, a highway with moving cars, airport with plane models, ships that pass through water canals and thousands of human bodies...

... there is a sound system in the park. You can come up to any monument, insert your card and have a listen to some information about monument. As of now, the information is presented in English and Turkish languages...

... here they always play classic music. It seems that you can’t figure where it is coming from, but it is coming from the stone models along the paths. By the evening all the models and paths are illuminated with colorful lights...

... here is a list of the most famous historical monuments that you will see in Miniaturk: Aya Sophia, Galata Tower, Bosporus bridge (and Bosposus itself presented as a lake), Dolmabahce Palace and Topkapi Palace, Artemis Temple, Istanbul City Hall, Leandra Tower, Kappadokien plateau, Troyan horse, Blue Mosque, Mausoleum, Olympic stadium...

... here there is also an electric mini-train called Express Miniaturk able to transport 24 children. Your kids will be very happy to get a ride in the train around the park...

... there is also a children area with wooden Troyan horse. Children love this place!

... you can have a rest and enjoy a delicious dinner on covered or open terraces, restaurants with Turkish and Italian cuisine and a view at the Golden Horn gulf.

You can get a room in a nice hotel not so far away from Miniaturk.
