Ankara city 🏙️

#citystroll

My trip to Ankara, Turkey’s capital, was an unexpected but delightful cultural experience! 🌍 This city is often overshadowed by Istanbul, but it has so much to offer. I started my visit at Anıtkabir, the impressive mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, which is free to enter and such a powerful tribute to modern Turkey’s founder. The atmosphere there was solemn yet inspiring.

The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations was another highlight, with an entrance fee of about 45 TRY. It’s a treasure trove of ancient artifacts dating back to the Hittites, Greeks, and Romans. Walking through its exhibits, I gained a deeper appreciation for Turkey’s rich history. 🏛

Kızılay Square, the bustling center of Ankara, is perfect for soaking in the city’s vibrant energy, with lots of cafes and shops nearby. I also recommend heading to the Ankara Castle for stunning panoramic views of the city—it’s especially beautiful at sunset. 🌅

Overall, Ankara is a quieter yet fascinating city, perfect for anyone interested in history and local culture.
