What to see in Ankara in 3 days
Three days will allow you to explore the essence of Ankara more calmly, enjoying its monuments and unique cultural experiences, as well as spaces to relax and experience the city like a local.
Atatürk Mausoleum
High above Ankara, Anıtkabir stands as an eternal symbol of memory, modernity and Turkish identity.
Ankara Castle
From the Hittites to the Ottomans, successive civilisations have conquered and rebuilt this citadel strategically positioned on a hill in the Altındağ district. Its fascinating history is best appreciated along with a complementary visit to the nearby Museum of the Civilisations of Anatolia.
The Istanbul Archaeological Museum, a testimony to ancient civilisations
The Istanbul Archaeological Museum
Kocatepe Mosque
Inspired by classical Ottoman architecture with a modern twist, this vast space, which can host up to 24,000 worshippers, is visible from nearly every corner of the Turkish capital.
Gençlik Park
Since 1943, this site has been a meeting place for locals and travellers alike, with its artificial lake reflecting the city's lights, its merry dancing fountains and an endearing funfair that evokes a touch of nostalgia.
Markets an bazaars
Ankara retains a number of traditional commercial sites where echoes of the Ottoman past still resonate, bargaining is an art form, and the stalls overflow with fragrant spices and colourful fabrics.
