<\/figure>\nHiya reader! I\u2019ve prepared this blog post on the best things to do in Ankara to be your ultimate travel planning guide!\u00a0I\u2019ve stayed in this beautiful city <\/b>for a week and was lucky to have locals <\/b>walk me through its biggest sights and the best restaurants!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got you covered with the top attractions (approved by a local), best restaurants, history trivia, and some unique museums you can only find in Ankara! <\/p>\n
To top this with more useful information, I also cherry-picked the best hotels and included tips on how to get around and where to get the best SIM card deal!<\/p>\n
If you are in a hurry<\/span><\/h2>\nHere are the main things to book in advance:<\/strong><\/p>\nAnd here are the best hotels:<\/b>\u00a0JW Marriott<\/a>\u00a0(luxury), Grand Nora Hotel<\/a>\u00a0(mid-range), Tac Hotel<\/a>\u00a0(budget)<\/p>\n1. Visit An\u0131tkabir, Ataturk\u2019s tomb complex<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\")
![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-Anitkabir-Top-attractions-in-Ankara.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nThe visit to the tomb complex of Kemal Ataturk, the\u00a0founder of the modern Turkish state<\/b>, is one of the most special memories I have of my stay in Ankara! <\/p>\n\nKemal Ataturk (1881-1938) was the first president of the Republic of Turkey following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. He made Turkey a modern, secular state and is praised by millions of Turks even today.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThere\u2019s so much history in this place, from Ataturk\u2019s personal belongings, his mindblowing library with books in various languages (he spoke 9), to long corridors with documents and displays explaining the formation of the modern Turkish state. <\/p>\n
I visited with a local friend, and she said Turkish people visit Ankara from all across the country (and the world) just to pay their respects in An\u0131tkabir!<\/p>\n
NOTE<\/b>: Entrance is free, open 7 days a week<\/p>\n
PRO TIP<\/b>: Visit the nearby Museum of the War and Independence<\/a>\u00a0that served as the 1st Parliament building of the Republic of Turkey (entry is US$4) and the largest Ataturk monument in Ankara (map<\/a>) to complete your modern Turkish history experience! The 2nd building of the Parliament, now a Museum of the Turkish Republic, is just next door, too.<\/p>\n2. See Ankara on a tour<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Traditional](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-Best-Ankara-guided-tours.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nI had the privilege of having various locals take me and my husband around town. It made the experience so much more personal, especially for important attractions.<\/p>\n
Although you can visit Ankara on your own, I highly recommend you hire a guide! Especially if you don\u2019t know any locals. You can take a\u00a0free walking tour <\/b>(here\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0the best one; it\u2019s a full-day tour!) or hire a private guide like this o<\/a>ne<\/a>\u00a0for $38 per person\u00a0for a fully immersive experience!<\/p>\nApart from the most important landmarks like Ataturk\u2019s tomb complex or the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, you\u2019ll also learn about the Roman Baths (map<\/a>), walk around Ankara Castle, and get the best recommendations for lunch!<\/p>\nPRICE<\/b>: From US$0 \u2013 US$50<\/p>\n3. Admire the panoramic views from Ankara Castle<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Visitors](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3-Ankara-Castle-Must-see-sights-in-Ankara.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nClimbing to the top of Ankara Castle (map<\/a>) is the best thing to do in Ankara for free<\/b>! The Castle is nestled inside the Old Town, my favorite part of the city! Walking here reminded me of old Serbian villages and architecture also built in the Ottoman style.<\/p>\n\nAs you ascend to the top of Ankara Castle, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city! The only other place where you can do this is the <\/i>Atakule Tower<\/a>, but that one costs money<\/i>!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nGetting to the top of the Castle can be pretty tough because of the steep terrain, especially if you\u2019re visiting during the summer. So don\u2019t be like me, who underestimated the heat \u2013 make sure you have a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water! <\/p>\n
Apart from the steep terrain, the Old Town itself is easily accessible. It\u2019s just next to must-see museums in the central Ulus district of Ankara. You can walk from one attraction to the other, which is exactly what we did!<\/p>\n
4. Shop for souvenirs in the Old Quarter<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4-Old-Quarter-Ankara-shopping-districts.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nAs you\u2019re roaming the Old Town, use the opportunity to stock up on cute souvenirs<\/b>\u00a0like magnets, cezve (a coffeepot for making Turkish coffee), embroidery work, and whatnot. <\/p>\n
The area around Kale Kapisi Sokak (map<\/a>) is where you\u2019ll find some of the most picturesque shops! There are also plenty of charming coffee places here to relax and people-watch, which I\u2019m so grateful for as I was craving water and shade after visiting the Castle in the heat!<\/p>\nThe rest of the Ulus district (where the Old Town is located) is also great for shopping! You\u2019ll find plenty of markets like the Suluhan Bazaar (map<\/a>) to nurture your shopping frenzy!<\/p>\nCULTURAL INSIGHT<\/b>: As you browse for souvenirs in local shops, the store owner may offer you a (free) cup of tea. Drinking cay, or tea, in Turkey is an integral part of the culture, and you\u2019ll see people sipping black tea everywhere and at all times! I like to use that opportunity to chat with the person and learn more about their life in the city, although they don\u2019t always speak English.<\/p>\n5. Travel back in time in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Visitors](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5-Anatolian-Civilizations-Showroom-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nThe place where my jaw dropped a few times during our visit is the beautiful Museum of Anatolian Civilizations<\/a>, the very first museum in Ankara, established in 1921!<\/p>\n\nAnatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is an ancient region that is now the Asian part of Turkey, and it includes Ankara. Since the beginning of our civilization, Anatolia has been a crossroads for people traveling between continents. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nYou\u00a0can see many important artifacts here! My personal highlights include the collection of artifacts of <\/b>Hittites<\/b>\u00a0(an ancient civilization that lived in Anatolia), 5000-year-old terracotta vases, and Assyrian, Greek, and Byzantine artwork! <\/p>\n
There are over 200,000 pieces in the museum! We spent 3 hours here, and we definitely rushed through some parts. There was also the cutest souvenir shop at the exit, so I totally recommend you check it out for small souvenir replicas of the most important artifacts! <\/p>\n
By the way, you can check my personal Ankara highlights in the Instagram post I made about it here<\/a>! It\u2019s in Serbian, but you can just enjoy the sights!<\/p>\nPRO TIP<\/b>: If you\u2019re visiting other cities in Turkey, Museum Card<\/a>\u00a0grants access to 300 museums nationwide! The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations and 3 more Ankara museums are included! However, don\u2019t buy the card if you\u2019re only staying in Ankara, as the price is $US126 for a 15-day pass, so it doesn\u2019t pay off.<\/p>\nPRICE<\/b>: 280 TL (US$9)<\/p>\n6. Learn new things in the Rahmi M. Ko\u00e7 Museum<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Overhead](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/6-Rahmi-M.-Koc-Museum-Cultural-experiences-in-Ankara.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nThis is one of those places where you can find something for everyone! Rahmi M. Ko\u00e7\u00a0Museum<\/a>\u00a0is located right across from the Citadel, and it\u2019s dedicated to the history of transport, industry, and communication. <\/p>\nThe museum branch in Ankara (there\u2019s one in Istanbul, too) was opened in 2005 by Rahmi M. Ko\u00e7,\u00a0one of the wealthiest businessmen Turkey has ever had!<\/p>\n
The highlights include the replica of Turkey\u2019s first domestic car\u00a0dating from 1961 (Devrim). Apart from unique automobiles, you can also explore vintage motorcycles, telegraphs, model ships, different navigation instruments, and so much more!<\/p>\n
Based on the visitor reviews, a visit here is one of the best things to do in Ankara with kids! <\/p>\n
PRICE: <\/strong>200 TL (US$6.50)
NOTE: <\/strong>Closed on Mondays<\/p>\n7. Have Turkish breakfast on Muhsin Yaz\u0131c\u0131o\u011flu Street<\/span><\/h2>\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/7-Muhsin-Yazicioglu-Street-320x479.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nI love Muhsin Yaz\u0131c\u0131o\u011flu Street for many reasons. First, we were based just parallel to this street\u00a0(a great area in West Ankara with plenty of shops, restaurants, and hotels). Second, it\u2019s where we randomly went to have breakfast in one of the restaurants and ended up having the most generous meal<\/b>\u00a0of our lives! It was at Mehmed Bey (map<\/a>).<\/p>\nAnd then, when our local friend wanted to take us for breakfast on another day, he promised an awesome place that the locals rave about. Turns out, it was also a restaurant on this street (OTTO, check the location here<\/a>)! I now wholeheartedly recommend this place for Turkish breakfast!<\/p>\n\nThe Turkish word for breakfast is \u201c<\/i>kahvalti<\/i>,\u201d meaning \u201cwhat you eat before coffee.\u201d The <\/i>kahvalti<\/i>\u00a0is very generous, consisting of eggs, olives, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, sausages, various spreads (jam, honey), and cay (Turkish tea). <\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n8. Savor the best of Turkish cuisine at Aspava<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8-Turkish-cuisine-at-Aspava-photo-cengizyildirimaspava.jpeg\")
photo credit: @cengizyildirimaspava<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn Ankara, the culinary scene is super local-oriented, and you don\u2019t have to worry about tourist traps like in Istanbul. Plus, they have a fabulous\u00a0local restaurant chain<\/b>\u00a0you can only find here, and it\u2019s called Aspava.<\/p>\n\nAspava is an acronym from the Turkish sentence \u201cAllah Sa\u011fl\u0131k, Para, Afiyet Versin. Amin!\u201d meaning \u201cMay Allah give health, wealth, and appetite. Amen!\u201d Bonus points to this place for wittiness!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The meal starts with free mezze plates\u00a0(bread, dips, and salads), and then you can order your dish of choice. They serve everything from kebabs, Turkish pide (pizza), and different comfort foods. And then they top that with free desserts and cay\/coffee! Turkish hospitality at its best!<\/p>\n
They have dozens of locations across town. I\u2019ve been to multiple ones (like this one<\/a>\u00a0near Anitkabir), and they all work in the same fashion. Google the one near you (just type Aspava), but maybe avoid the ones with a rating lower than 4.0.<\/p>\n9. Marvel at the 15th-century Hac\u0131 Bayram Mosque<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"An](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-Haci-Bayram-Mosque-Hidden-gems-in-Ankara.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nHac\u0131 Bayram Mosque (map<\/a>)\u00a0is one of Ankara\u2019s oldest mosques<\/b>, dating back to 1427! It carries the name of a Turkish poet who was also a Sufi (a Muslim mystic whose teachings were dominant in the region). <\/p>\nThe mosque offers beautiful views of the Citadel on one side and the city on the other, and it has an even more stunning interior.<\/p>\n
This sacred place is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is open to visitors! Just make sure you\u2019re dressed modestly. <\/p>\n
FUN FACT: The mosque is located in the Hac\u0131 Bayram District, known as the Acropolis of Ankara. In the 8th century, the sacred places of Christians and Muslims were built next to each other here.<\/p>\n
10. Get lost in Ankara\u2019s urban City Center<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/10-City-Center-Ankara-tourist-spots.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nWhen you look in Google Maps, it\u2019ll show you two yellow areas in central Ankara, which are the busiest ones in the city. The one to the North is where the museums and the Old Town are, and the one to the South is the modern, urban Ankara. <\/p>\n
The area around Kizilay Square (map<\/a>) is considered the City Center, and it\u2019s THE place to be for your typical European city feel but with an Asian twist<\/b>. <\/p>\nI spent most of my limited time in the City Center in a bookstore, and I don\u2019t even regret it! My point is you\u2019ll find awesome stores for any interest, unique coffee places, street food, parks, hotels, Turkish delights, and just about everything under the sun. <\/p>\n
The best nightlife of Ankara is right here, with plenty of bars and late-night restaurants along Tunus and Bestekar streets. I remember we went bar hopping here, and I was in awe seeing how eclectic Ankara is at night!<\/p>\n
PRO TIP<\/b>: The City Center has excellent transportation links to all parts of the city, making it a great area to base yourself in during your stay.<\/p>\n11. Explore the Ulucanlar Prison Museum<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Inside](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/11-Ulucanlar-Prison-Ankara-museums-and-galleries.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nOne of Ankara\u2019s most popular museums is also the first museum of its kind in Turkey! The Ulucanlar Prison Museum<\/a>\u00a0was a political prison from 1925 until the 2000s! <\/p>\nIt was opened in 2011 and has been a super popular place for locals and foreigners ever since, probably because of how weird it is. You can see how the prisoners lived<\/b>, where they slept, ate, and spent time outdoors; everything is super realistic. I wouldn\u2019t recommend visiting if you are sensitive about the topic.<\/p>\n
PRICE<\/b>: 10 TL (US$0.3) <\/p>\n12. Stroll in the lush parks<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Vibrant](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/12-Kugulu-Park-Best-activities-in-Ankara.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nAnkara sure is a nice place for strolling in the parks! It felt so good to relax in its green oasis<\/b>\u00a0in the middle of the city before returning to the streets during our visit. <\/p>\n
The Kugulu Park (map<\/a>) was my favorite to people-watch and relax after a long walk in the city. Here, you can see ducks and geese, have the kids play on the playgrounds, and take infinite pics of random kittens and puppies (yup, it happened to me!)<\/p>\nSe\u011fmenler Park (map<\/a>) is a recommendation from my dear local friend. She told me this is now a super popular place for the younger crowd, and I can see why. There\u2019s tons of space for picnics with beautiful views, flowers, birds, and even a little stream for added charm.<\/p>\n13. Be inspired by the Cermodern art gallery<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Visitors](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/13-Cermodern-art-gallery.jpg\")
photo credit: @cermodern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnkara\u2019s most popular art gallery<\/b>\u00a0awaits with modern art, sculptures, exhibitions, a sweet souvenir shop, and an on-site caf\u00e9! Cermodern<\/a>\u00a0is the city\u2019s cultural landmark and gives off the vibe of a European museum. It just looks so nice!<\/p>\nThey have events all the time, from book readings, movies, workshops, and more. If you visit in the summer, you may even catch a film screening in the courtyard!<\/p>\n
This is actually the best thing to do for art lovers in Ankara since you won\u2019t find any other noteworthy museums or galleries dedicated to art apart from the Painting and Sculpture Museum<\/a>!<\/p>\nPRICE<\/b>: 40 TL (US$1.3)<\/p>\n14. Capture the beautiful Kocatepe Mosque<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/14-Kocatepe-Mosque.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nWelcome to Ankara\u2019s largest mosque<\/b>! This white beauty is located in the City Center (map<\/a>), and you can easily spot it from almost anywhere Downtown! It can fit 24,000 worshipers and is a beautiful sight day and night. <\/p>\n\nThe construction of the Kocatepe Mosque took 20 years. It was finally finished in 1987. <\/i>It\u2019s 67 meters (219 feet) long, 64 meters (209 feet) wide, and its minaret is 88 meters (288 feet) high.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
You can admire this mosque for free; just make sure you\u2019re dressed modestly, and it\u2019s not prayer time (no entry is allowed during prayer time for non-muslims).<\/p>\n
15. Experience the rural life in Alt\u0131nk\u00f6y Museum<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/15-Altinkoy-Museum.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nThe Alt\u0131nk\u00f6y<\/a>\u00a0open-air museum tells the story of ancient Anatolia. It\u2019s built to resemble a typical Anatolian village<\/b>\u00a0with its watermills, typical homes, and popular industries at the time. <\/p>\nThis ample outdoor area is one of the best things to do with kids in nature to avoid the city crowds! You can eat traditional gozleme\u00a0(crispy stuffed flatbreads) as the farm animals pass you, visit a horse barn, or walk across a giant hanging bridge (awesome for adrenaline lovers, bad for those scared of heights!).<\/p>\n
Entry to the museum, as well as parking, is free! <\/p>\n
16. Take the kids to the Aqua Vega Aquarium<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Visitors](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/16-Ankara-things-to-do-with-kids-aquavega.jpg\")
photo credit: @aquavega <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnkara\u2019s Aqua Vega Aquarium<\/a>\u00a0is a nice spot to relax and have the little ones learn about sea animals. This tunnel aquarium is situated inside the Aqua Vega Mall (parking is easy), has more than 12,000 sea creatures<\/b>, and is 98 meters (321 feet) long. <\/p>\nYou can buy special food on-site for 100 TL ($US3) and have the little ones feed their sea friends! One of the best things to do in Ankara with kids!<\/p>\n
PRICE<\/b>: A family ticket (2 parents + 1 child) is 790 TL (US$25); for 2 parents + 2 kids, it\u2019s 960 TL (US$30).<\/p>\n17. Go hiking in the METU Forest<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/17-METU-Forest-Ankara-parks-and-gardens.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nHere\u2019s a great thing to do in Ankara if you plan a longer stay. As part of the Middle Eastern Technical University, the METU Forest (map<\/a>) is a beautiful spot for hiking<\/b>, jogging, sights of the Eymir Lake, and, if you\u2019re lucky, wildlife animal spotting!<\/p>\nEven though it\u2019s part of a University, everyone can access the forest and lake area. Oh, and everyone raves about how scenic the lake views get from here, so if you go, tell me how it was!<\/p>\n
Getting there<\/b>:\u00a0The METU Forest is some 25 km\u00a0(15 miles) from Ankara\u2019s City Center, and it\u2019s best to get here by car (it\u2019s a 45-minute drive vs. 2h 50min on public transport). <\/p>\n
PARKING<\/b>: At the northern end, at the Vineyard House (just next to the Forest).<\/p>\nHonorable mentions<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/18-Kelime-Muzesi.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nHere, I listed a few more attractions that you may find interesting that didn\u2019t make it to the main list:<\/p>\n
\n- The G\u00f6kyay Association Chess Museum<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 A museum dedicated to chess<\/b>, where you can see the world\u2019s largest collection of chess sets (723 of them)!<\/li>\n
- Kelime M\u00fczesi\u00a0(map<\/a>) \u2013 Turkey\u2019s first ever Word museum <\/b>dedicated to the richness of the Turkish language.<\/li>\n
- Genclik Park\u00a0(map<\/a>) \u2013 This used to be Ankara\u2019s most popular park, and it\u2019s still a pretty nice park to visit near the museums<\/li>\n
- Hamamonu Restored Village\u00a0(map<\/a>) \u2013 A restored area\u00a0with homes in the 1920s and 1930s style with shops, restaurants, and mosques.<\/li>\n
- Tarihi \u015eeng\u00fcl Hamam\u0131 (map<\/a>)\u00a0\u2013 A traditional public bath<\/b>\u00a0for a traditional Turkish relaxation experience<\/li>\n
- Mogan Lake (map<\/a>)\u00a0\u2013 Ideal day trip from Ankara, around a 30-minute ride, plenty of BBQ spots, walking paths, boating, and fishing opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Tac Hotel<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 A simple and affordable hotel with big and clean rooms and an excellent location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
NOTE<\/b>: Booking.com, Expedia, and most other popular sites for booking accommodation don\u2019t work inside Turkey. If you plan to stay at multiple places, I recommend you book all hotels before your arrival! Either that or use a VPN when in Turkey.<\/p>\nPractical Information<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20-Practical-Information.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nHere\u2019s what you need to know about public transport and SIM cards in Ankara.<\/p>\n
How to get around<\/h3>\n
Public Transport<\/strong><\/p>\nAnkara has a wide network of public transportation systems, with the metro being the most popular option to get around, followed by buses and shared minibusses\u00a0called dolmu\u015f.<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t recommend the minibusses\u00a0unless you know exactly where you\u2019re headed and when you need to take off. For buses and metro, use Google Maps to check routes.<\/p>\n
You can get an Ankarakart<\/a>\u00a0to pay for public transport. We bought ours at a metro station, but you can also get yours at bus card vending machines or select kiosks. One ride with Ankarakart is 15 TY ($US0.50), while a single ticket is 17 TY, slightly more. <\/p>\nTaxis\/Ride Sharing<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20-Taxi-in-Ankara.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nTaxi is the most convenient <\/b>and cheap way to get around, it even beats car rental. Just hail one on the street or call one using the yellow taxi boxes available on every corner!<\/p>\n
The price is around 20 TL for 1 km, which translates to around US$0.60! This may sound cheap if you\u2019re visiting from abroad, but the high inflation in Turkey makes everything more expensive for locals. <\/p>\n
As we didn\u2019t speak Turkish, we used to show the route with the destination to the taxi driver on the navigation app (Google Maps is fine), so this way, the driver knew where to take us, and we made sure he was taking the shortest route. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s also the BiTaksi<\/a>\u00a0app for ordering your ride, so you can use it if you plan on commuting by taxi often. We didn\u2019t find this necessary as it was always easy to haul a taxi on the street on a few occasions that we needed it. Otherwise, we commuted via the metro most of the time.<\/p>\nUber<\/a>\u00a0is also available in Ankara, and it costs around the same as a regular taxi, but I have the impression that it\u2019s less popular than taxis.<\/p>\n
And here are the best hotels:<\/b>\u00a0JW Marriott<\/a>\u00a0(luxury), Grand Nora Hotel<\/a>\u00a0(mid-range), Tac Hotel<\/a>\u00a0(budget)<\/p>\n The visit to the tomb complex of Kemal Ataturk, the\u00a0founder of the modern Turkish state<\/b>, is one of the most special memories I have of my stay in Ankara! <\/p>\n Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938) was the first president of the Republic of Turkey following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. He made Turkey a modern, secular state and is praised by millions of Turks even today.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n There\u2019s so much history in this place, from Ataturk\u2019s personal belongings, his mindblowing library with books in various languages (he spoke 9), to long corridors with documents and displays explaining the formation of the modern Turkish state. <\/p>\n I visited with a local friend, and she said Turkish people visit Ankara from all across the country (and the world) just to pay their respects in An\u0131tkabir!<\/p>\n NOTE<\/b>: Entrance is free, open 7 days a week<\/p>\n PRO TIP<\/b>: Visit the nearby Museum of the War and Independence<\/a>\u00a0that served as the 1st Parliament building of the Republic of Turkey (entry is US$4) and the largest Ataturk monument in Ankara (map<\/a>) to complete your modern Turkish history experience! The 2nd building of the Parliament, now a Museum of the Turkish Republic, is just next door, too.<\/p>\n I had the privilege of having various locals take me and my husband around town. It made the experience so much more personal, especially for important attractions.<\/p>\n Although you can visit Ankara on your own, I highly recommend you hire a guide! Especially if you don\u2019t know any locals. You can take a\u00a0free walking tour <\/b>(here\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0the best one; it\u2019s a full-day tour!) or hire a private guide like this o<\/a>ne<\/a>\u00a0for $38 per person\u00a0for a fully immersive experience!<\/p>\n Apart from the most important landmarks like Ataturk\u2019s tomb complex or the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, you\u2019ll also learn about the Roman Baths (map<\/a>), walk around Ankara Castle, and get the best recommendations for lunch!<\/p>\n PRICE<\/b>: From US$0 \u2013 US$50<\/p>\n Climbing to the top of Ankara Castle (map<\/a>) is the best thing to do in Ankara for free<\/b>! The Castle is nestled inside the Old Town, my favorite part of the city! Walking here reminded me of old Serbian villages and architecture also built in the Ottoman style.<\/p>\n As you ascend to the top of Ankara Castle, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city! The only other place where you can do this is the <\/i>Atakule Tower<\/a>, but that one costs money<\/i>!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Getting to the top of the Castle can be pretty tough because of the steep terrain, especially if you\u2019re visiting during the summer. So don\u2019t be like me, who underestimated the heat \u2013 make sure you have a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water! <\/p>\n Apart from the steep terrain, the Old Town itself is easily accessible. It\u2019s just next to must-see museums in the central Ulus district of Ankara. You can walk from one attraction to the other, which is exactly what we did!<\/p>\n As you\u2019re roaming the Old Town, use the opportunity to stock up on cute souvenirs<\/b>\u00a0like magnets, cezve (a coffeepot for making Turkish coffee), embroidery work, and whatnot. <\/p>\n The area around Kale Kapisi Sokak (map<\/a>) is where you\u2019ll find some of the most picturesque shops! There are also plenty of charming coffee places here to relax and people-watch, which I\u2019m so grateful for as I was craving water and shade after visiting the Castle in the heat!<\/p>\n The rest of the Ulus district (where the Old Town is located) is also great for shopping! You\u2019ll find plenty of markets like the Suluhan Bazaar (map<\/a>) to nurture your shopping frenzy!<\/p>\n CULTURAL INSIGHT<\/b>: As you browse for souvenirs in local shops, the store owner may offer you a (free) cup of tea. Drinking cay, or tea, in Turkey is an integral part of the culture, and you\u2019ll see people sipping black tea everywhere and at all times! I like to use that opportunity to chat with the person and learn more about their life in the city, although they don\u2019t always speak English.<\/p>\n The place where my jaw dropped a few times during our visit is the beautiful Museum of Anatolian Civilizations<\/a>, the very first museum in Ankara, established in 1921!<\/p>\n Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is an ancient region that is now the Asian part of Turkey, and it includes Ankara. Since the beginning of our civilization, Anatolia has been a crossroads for people traveling between continents. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You\u00a0can see many important artifacts here! My personal highlights include the collection of artifacts of <\/b>Hittites<\/b>\u00a0(an ancient civilization that lived in Anatolia), 5000-year-old terracotta vases, and Assyrian, Greek, and Byzantine artwork! <\/p>\n There are over 200,000 pieces in the museum! We spent 3 hours here, and we definitely rushed through some parts. There was also the cutest souvenir shop at the exit, so I totally recommend you check it out for small souvenir replicas of the most important artifacts! <\/p>\n By the way, you can check my personal Ankara highlights in the Instagram post I made about it here<\/a>! It\u2019s in Serbian, but you can just enjoy the sights!<\/p>\n PRO TIP<\/b>: If you\u2019re visiting other cities in Turkey, Museum Card<\/a>\u00a0grants access to 300 museums nationwide! The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations and 3 more Ankara museums are included! However, don\u2019t buy the card if you\u2019re only staying in Ankara, as the price is $US126 for a 15-day pass, so it doesn\u2019t pay off.<\/p>\n PRICE<\/b>: 280 TL (US$9)<\/p>\n This is one of those places where you can find something for everyone! Rahmi M. Ko\u00e7\u00a0Museum<\/a>\u00a0is located right across from the Citadel, and it\u2019s dedicated to the history of transport, industry, and communication. <\/p>\n The museum branch in Ankara (there\u2019s one in Istanbul, too) was opened in 2005 by Rahmi M. Ko\u00e7,\u00a0one of the wealthiest businessmen Turkey has ever had!<\/p>\n The highlights include the replica of Turkey\u2019s first domestic car\u00a0dating from 1961 (Devrim). Apart from unique automobiles, you can also explore vintage motorcycles, telegraphs, model ships, different navigation instruments, and so much more!<\/p>\n Based on the visitor reviews, a visit here is one of the best things to do in Ankara with kids! <\/p>\n PRICE: <\/strong>200 TL (US$6.50) I love Muhsin Yaz\u0131c\u0131o\u011flu Street for many reasons. First, we were based just parallel to this street\u00a0(a great area in West Ankara with plenty of shops, restaurants, and hotels). Second, it\u2019s where we randomly went to have breakfast in one of the restaurants and ended up having the most generous meal<\/b>\u00a0of our lives! It was at Mehmed Bey (map<\/a>).<\/p>\n And then, when our local friend wanted to take us for breakfast on another day, he promised an awesome place that the locals rave about. Turns out, it was also a restaurant on this street (OTTO, check the location here<\/a>)! I now wholeheartedly recommend this place for Turkish breakfast!<\/p>\n The Turkish word for breakfast is \u201c<\/i>kahvalti<\/i>,\u201d meaning \u201cwhat you eat before coffee.\u201d The <\/i>kahvalti<\/i>\u00a0is very generous, consisting of eggs, olives, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, sausages, various spreads (jam, honey), and cay (Turkish tea). <\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In Ankara, the culinary scene is super local-oriented, and you don\u2019t have to worry about tourist traps like in Istanbul. Plus, they have a fabulous\u00a0local restaurant chain<\/b>\u00a0you can only find here, and it\u2019s called Aspava.<\/p>\n Aspava is an acronym from the Turkish sentence \u201cAllah Sa\u011fl\u0131k, Para, Afiyet Versin. Amin!\u201d meaning \u201cMay Allah give health, wealth, and appetite. Amen!\u201d Bonus points to this place for wittiness!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The meal starts with free mezze plates\u00a0(bread, dips, and salads), and then you can order your dish of choice. They serve everything from kebabs, Turkish pide (pizza), and different comfort foods. And then they top that with free desserts and cay\/coffee! Turkish hospitality at its best!<\/p>\n They have dozens of locations across town. I\u2019ve been to multiple ones (like this one<\/a>\u00a0near Anitkabir), and they all work in the same fashion. Google the one near you (just type Aspava), but maybe avoid the ones with a rating lower than 4.0.<\/p>\n Hac\u0131 Bayram Mosque (map<\/a>)\u00a0is one of Ankara\u2019s oldest mosques<\/b>, dating back to 1427! It carries the name of a Turkish poet who was also a Sufi (a Muslim mystic whose teachings were dominant in the region). <\/p>\n The mosque offers beautiful views of the Citadel on one side and the city on the other, and it has an even more stunning interior.<\/p>\n This sacred place is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is open to visitors! Just make sure you\u2019re dressed modestly. <\/p>\n FUN FACT: The mosque is located in the Hac\u0131 Bayram District, known as the Acropolis of Ankara. In the 8th century, the sacred places of Christians and Muslims were built next to each other here.<\/p>\n When you look in Google Maps, it\u2019ll show you two yellow areas in central Ankara, which are the busiest ones in the city. The one to the North is where the museums and the Old Town are, and the one to the South is the modern, urban Ankara. <\/p>\n The area around Kizilay Square (map<\/a>) is considered the City Center, and it\u2019s THE place to be for your typical European city feel but with an Asian twist<\/b>. <\/p>\n I spent most of my limited time in the City Center in a bookstore, and I don\u2019t even regret it! My point is you\u2019ll find awesome stores for any interest, unique coffee places, street food, parks, hotels, Turkish delights, and just about everything under the sun. <\/p>\n The best nightlife of Ankara is right here, with plenty of bars and late-night restaurants along Tunus and Bestekar streets. I remember we went bar hopping here, and I was in awe seeing how eclectic Ankara is at night!<\/p>\n PRO TIP<\/b>: The City Center has excellent transportation links to all parts of the city, making it a great area to base yourself in during your stay.<\/p>\n One of Ankara\u2019s most popular museums is also the first museum of its kind in Turkey! The Ulucanlar Prison Museum<\/a>\u00a0was a political prison from 1925 until the 2000s! <\/p>\n It was opened in 2011 and has been a super popular place for locals and foreigners ever since, probably because of how weird it is. You can see how the prisoners lived<\/b>, where they slept, ate, and spent time outdoors; everything is super realistic. I wouldn\u2019t recommend visiting if you are sensitive about the topic.<\/p>\n PRICE<\/b>: 10 TL (US$0.3) <\/p>\n Ankara sure is a nice place for strolling in the parks! It felt so good to relax in its green oasis<\/b>\u00a0in the middle of the city before returning to the streets during our visit. <\/p>\n The Kugulu Park (map<\/a>) was my favorite to people-watch and relax after a long walk in the city. Here, you can see ducks and geese, have the kids play on the playgrounds, and take infinite pics of random kittens and puppies (yup, it happened to me!)<\/p>\n Se\u011fmenler Park (map<\/a>) is a recommendation from my dear local friend. She told me this is now a super popular place for the younger crowd, and I can see why. There\u2019s tons of space for picnics with beautiful views, flowers, birds, and even a little stream for added charm.<\/p>\n Ankara\u2019s most popular art gallery<\/b>\u00a0awaits with modern art, sculptures, exhibitions, a sweet souvenir shop, and an on-site caf\u00e9! Cermodern<\/a>\u00a0is the city\u2019s cultural landmark and gives off the vibe of a European museum. It just looks so nice!<\/p>\n They have events all the time, from book readings, movies, workshops, and more. If you visit in the summer, you may even catch a film screening in the courtyard!<\/p>\n This is actually the best thing to do for art lovers in Ankara since you won\u2019t find any other noteworthy museums or galleries dedicated to art apart from the Painting and Sculpture Museum<\/a>!<\/p>\n PRICE<\/b>: 40 TL (US$1.3)<\/p>\n Welcome to Ankara\u2019s largest mosque<\/b>! This white beauty is located in the City Center (map<\/a>), and you can easily spot it from almost anywhere Downtown! It can fit 24,000 worshipers and is a beautiful sight day and night. <\/p>\n The construction of the Kocatepe Mosque took 20 years. It was finally finished in 1987. <\/i>It\u2019s 67 meters (219 feet) long, 64 meters (209 feet) wide, and its minaret is 88 meters (288 feet) high.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You can admire this mosque for free; just make sure you\u2019re dressed modestly, and it\u2019s not prayer time (no entry is allowed during prayer time for non-muslims).<\/p>\n The Alt\u0131nk\u00f6y<\/a>\u00a0open-air museum tells the story of ancient Anatolia. It\u2019s built to resemble a typical Anatolian village<\/b>\u00a0with its watermills, typical homes, and popular industries at the time. <\/p>\n This ample outdoor area is one of the best things to do with kids in nature to avoid the city crowds! You can eat traditional gozleme\u00a0(crispy stuffed flatbreads) as the farm animals pass you, visit a horse barn, or walk across a giant hanging bridge (awesome for adrenaline lovers, bad for those scared of heights!).<\/p>\n Entry to the museum, as well as parking, is free! <\/p>\n Ankara\u2019s Aqua Vega Aquarium<\/a>\u00a0is a nice spot to relax and have the little ones learn about sea animals. This tunnel aquarium is situated inside the Aqua Vega Mall (parking is easy), has more than 12,000 sea creatures<\/b>, and is 98 meters (321 feet) long. <\/p>\n You can buy special food on-site for 100 TL ($US3) and have the little ones feed their sea friends! One of the best things to do in Ankara with kids!<\/p>\n PRICE<\/b>: A family ticket (2 parents + 1 child) is 790 TL (US$25); for 2 parents + 2 kids, it\u2019s 960 TL (US$30).<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a great thing to do in Ankara if you plan a longer stay. As part of the Middle Eastern Technical University, the METU Forest (map<\/a>) is a beautiful spot for hiking<\/b>, jogging, sights of the Eymir Lake, and, if you\u2019re lucky, wildlife animal spotting!<\/p>\n Even though it\u2019s part of a University, everyone can access the forest and lake area. Oh, and everyone raves about how scenic the lake views get from here, so if you go, tell me how it was!<\/p>\n Getting there<\/b>:\u00a0The METU Forest is some 25 km\u00a0(15 miles) from Ankara\u2019s City Center, and it\u2019s best to get here by car (it\u2019s a 45-minute drive vs. 2h 50min on public transport). <\/p>\n PARKING<\/b>: At the northern end, at the Vineyard House (just next to the Forest).<\/p>\n Here, I listed a few more attractions that you may find interesting that didn\u2019t make it to the main list:<\/p>\n Check out the best hotels I sorted for you to make your trip planning a breeze! <\/p>\n Luxury (US110 and up)<\/strong><\/p>\n Mid-range (US$40 \u2013 US110)<\/strong><\/p>\n Budget (up to US$40)<\/strong><\/p>\n NOTE<\/b>: Booking.com, Expedia, and most other popular sites for booking accommodation don\u2019t work inside Turkey. If you plan to stay at multiple places, I recommend you book all hotels before your arrival! Either that or use a VPN when in Turkey.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need to know about public transport and SIM cards in Ankara.<\/p>\n Public Transport<\/strong><\/p>\n Ankara has a wide network of public transportation systems, with the metro being the most popular option to get around, followed by buses and shared minibusses\u00a0called dolmu\u015f.<\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t recommend the minibusses\u00a0unless you know exactly where you\u2019re headed and when you need to take off. For buses and metro, use Google Maps to check routes.<\/p>\n You can get an Ankarakart<\/a>\u00a0to pay for public transport. We bought ours at a metro station, but you can also get yours at bus card vending machines or select kiosks. One ride with Ankarakart is 15 TY ($US0.50), while a single ticket is 17 TY, slightly more. <\/p>\n Taxis\/Ride Sharing<\/strong><\/p>\n Taxi is the most convenient <\/b>and cheap way to get around, it even beats car rental. Just hail one on the street or call one using the yellow taxi boxes available on every corner!<\/p>\n The price is around 20 TL for 1 km, which translates to around US$0.60! This may sound cheap if you\u2019re visiting from abroad, but the high inflation in Turkey makes everything more expensive for locals. <\/p>\n As we didn\u2019t speak Turkish, we used to show the route with the destination to the taxi driver on the navigation app (Google Maps is fine), so this way, the driver knew where to take us, and we made sure he was taking the shortest route. <\/p>\n There\u2019s also the BiTaksi<\/a>\u00a0app for ordering your ride, so you can use it if you plan on commuting by taxi often. We didn\u2019t find this necessary as it was always easy to haul a taxi on the street on a few occasions that we needed it. Otherwise, we commuted via the metro most of the time.<\/p>\n Uber<\/a>\u00a0is also available in Ankara, and it costs around the same as a regular taxi, but I have the impression that it\u2019s less popular than taxis.<\/p>\n1.
