Outdoor Festival and Historic Sites on the Bosphorus Coast of Istanbul

Every season, Istanbul takes a new breath, and on September 16, a special day is organized as the coastal road of the city is closed to traffic. The parks and historic piers on both sides of the Bosphorus offer a free space for picnickers, musicians, and artists, while the historic sites and architectural details become evidence of the city's thousands of years of history. Starting from Rumeli Hisarı İskelesi in Sarıyer, you can enjoy an authentic sunset under the shadow of the historic fortress, then have a cup of tea at the Sarı Köşk in Emirgan Park, and finally enjoy a relaxed day in the lush parks surrounding the Bosphorus's azure waters. This event combines Istanbul's historical heritage with a modern open-air experience, offering a unique opportunity to discover both the old and new faces of the city.
