Istanbul Tulip Festival
Istanbul is a well-known city in Turkey that celebrates the international tulip festival every April. Tulips symbolically have an important place in Turkish history since they originated during the Ottoman Empire dating back to the 12th century. Thousands of tulips are planted in the spring and many parks and groves in Istanbul are covered with tulips so the city leaves its place to a real botanical garden of millions of tulips for a while.
