 Things To Do & Top Attractions in Ankara 

Ankara’s rich history means it’s home to many important museums and monuments, but there’s also a vibrant modern life to explore. You can experience the bustle of a bazaar or sample the local cuisine – with a famous Turkish coffee, of course. Here are just a few ideas for you. 

• Anıtkabir 

Anitkabir is the statue of “the father of Turkey”, President Kemal Atatürk. It was he who fought to make Turkey a republic and Ankara its capital. You can see this breathtaking monument from all over the city, but it’s worth exploring it fully. The main entrance is via the Lion Road, named for its impressive statues, and there's a museum to visit as well as the tomb. Together they make the perfect introduction to modern Turkey. 

 

• Kocatepe Mosque 

The Kocatepe Mosque is an architectural masterpiece as well as a spiritual sanctuary. One of the world’s largest mosques, its soaring white domes are an icon of modern Ankara. Step inside the ornate interior to feel the serene ambiance and admire the breathtaking blend of Islamic heritage and modern design – a must-visit for any trip. 

 

• Ankara Castle 

Ankara Castle has kept watch over the city since the 7th century. Built by the Phrygians and successively occupied by the Romans, Seljuks, and Ottomans, it’s a living emblem of Ankara’s fascinating history. The mighty walls shelter a complex of traditional houses and markets, while offering exceptional city views. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes to tackle the steep streets and steps!

• Museum of Anatolian Civilisations 

The Museum of Anatolian Civilisations provides the best insight into Turkish history. The remarkable collection is arranged chronologically, starting with the ancient Paleolithic past and moving through the Hittite, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuq, and Ottoman periods. There’s something to interest everyone – from clay tablets to coins, statues, and jewelry – spread across two 15th-century buildings. 

 

• Shop in the Old Town  

Join a centuries-old tradition by shopping in the enchanting alleyways around the Castle. Along these cobbled streets you’ll find plenty of antiques, carpet stores, and workshops belonging to local artisans. Even if you don’t come away with any souvenirs, it’s a unique and immersive cultural experience. 

 

• Atakule Tower 

Soak up the city’s best views from its tallest tower, where the indoor and outdoor terraces offer panoramic viewing opportunities. For a truly unforgettable experience, you can dine in the tower’s revolving restaurant and watch as Ankara lights up at night.
