Miniaturk Istanbul

Miniaturk in Istanbul bought out the kid in me. I enjoyed it so much, and plan to go back one day. If you find yourself traveling through Istanbul then be sure to go to the Miniaturk park. Whilst it is not as exciting to see, as the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia, it is still a fun day out.

Miniaturk Istanbul

For this post I wanted to update my knowledge as it was four years ago that I went to Istanbul Miniaturkpark. I have just looked at the Miniaturk website and I am quite intrigued now.  The entrance fee is quoted as 5 pounds and then further down it says foreign visitors entrance fee 10 pounds.  This was when the website was put through Google translator, if you look at it in Turkish, it still quotes more prices for foreign visitors.  Someone please tell me that this is a typing error and Miniaturk are not charging people more simply because they are foreigners!

About Miniaturk Istanbul

Within the park sits 114 miniature models of famous buildings. Not all of them are buildings from Turkey, there are some buildings from other countries such as Greece.

According to Wikipedia, Miniaturk park is the largest miniature park in the world and all models are built to a 1 /25th scale. Don’t go if the weather is bad as all the models are  outdoors. There are restaurants on site and a souvenir shop however some people may consider the prices a bit steep

    Hi Elie, their website currently says

    * Adult Ticket: 5.00 TL
    * Discount Ticket for Students, teachers, Soldiers and Personnel: 3.00 TL
    * 1 accompanying teacher per 10 students enjoys free entrance.
    * Entrance fee for foreign nationals: 10.00 TL

    Not sure why foreigners are charged more though

    A lot of people miss it when they go to Istanbul Brandy because it is not as well known as the blue mosque etc but it is a good visit
