What to see in Ankara

Ankara is a dynamic and peaceful capital of Turkey, where history is intertwined with modernity. This city grew at the intersection of civilizations: from the ancient Hittites and Romans to the Seljuks and Ottomans, and in the XX century became the center of a new republic. Here, large state buildings coexist with cozy street cafes, and wide avenues and green squares create an atmosphere of a leisurely walk through living history.

Manufactures and facilities

Ankara’s man-made sights are striking in the diversity and depth of time: the Hatti Monument recalls the ancient roots of the region, the ruins of the Temple of Augustus and the Temple of Augustus and Roma keep traces of the Roman era, and the Ankara Castle rises above the old city, opening panoramas of the neighborhoods. Modern landmarks - the Atakule Observation Tower and the majestic Kojatepe Mosque - are visible from afar, while the Aladdin Mosque and the Arslanhane Mosque tell of a religious and architectural tradition. Ankara Palace and the Museum of Art and Sculpture add to the cultural map, and Salman Street, known as the “Bronze Alley”, beckons with walks and the atmosphere of local life.

Natural attractions and places

Natural corners inside the city and in its vicinity give an opportunity to relax from the bustle of the city: Goksu Park and Genklik Park are green lungs of the capital with ponds, alleys and sports grounds, ideal for picnics and family walks. The embankments, park areas and hillsides around Ankara invite you to hiking trails and photo walks, and the warm quarters and squares give warm evenings and silence among the urban dynamics.
