Places to Visit in Ankara

After breakfast, you can set out for Ankara Castle, which is thought to have been built by the Galatians in the 2nd century BC. You can watch Ankara from a bird's eye view from the building, which became more architecturally rich during the Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman empires. There are historical houses inside the castle surrounding the area called "Old Ankara". The houses built in rows on a small area look very interesting together. The ceilings of the houses decorated with geometric symbols, the summer rooms with wide eaves and narrow windows attract attention. continues to be the face that resists time.

Anıtkabir, where the tomb of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of Turkey, is located, is considered one of the most magnificent structures of modern Turkish architecture. The building, which Ankara residents recommend to be on your list of places to see, is a giant complex of 750 thousand square meters. The Peace Park with approximately 50 thousand trees and ornamental plants, the mausoleum, the famous Lion Road and the Monument Block, which consists of the ceremonial square, are the most important parts of Anıtkabir. The complex, which includes towers, the War of Independence Museum and a library, hosts tens of thousands of people on national holidays and Atatürk's death anniversaries. There are guard changes every hour in Anıtkabir and we strongly recommend that you watch these guard changes.

After Anıtkabir, you can enjoy breathing in Seğmenler Park or shopping on Tunalı Hilmi Street. Anatolian Civilizations Museum is a place that history lovers should not miss. The Anatolian Civilizations Museum, which was selected as the "best museum in Europe" in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1997, has one of the largest collections in Turkey.
