Ankara: The Heart of Modern Turkey

🏛️ Ankara, the capital of Turkey and its second-largest city, is a dynamic blend of history and modernity. While the city itself is relatively new, the region boasts a rich historical heritage that dates back thousands of years.

📜 In the early 20th century, Ankara was a small town with only a few thousand residents. However, when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk established the Republic of Turkey, he chose Ankara as the new capital, moving it from Istanbul. The decision was based on Ankara’s strategic central location, allowing for greater accessibility and security. Since then, the city has grown exponentially, now home to around five million people, making it a diverse and thriving cultural hub.

Tourism in Ankara

🌍 While often overshadowed by Istanbul, Ankara has plenty to offer visitors, with historical landmarks, cultural attractions, and stunning architecture that highlight Turkey’s past and present.

Must-Visit Attractions in Ankara

  • Anıtkabir – The mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. This monumental structure not only honors his legacy but also houses a museum dedicated to Turkey’s War of Independence, offering deep insight into the country’s transformation.

  • Ankara Castle – A historic fortress with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Within walking distance, visitors can explore:

    • 🏛️ The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, home to one of the world’s most impressive collections of Hittite, Phrygian, and Urartian artifacts.
    • 🏗️ Rahmi Koc Museum and Cengelhan Rahmi Koc Museum, both showcasing Turkey’s industrial and technological heritage.

  • Gordion – An ancient city with legendary ties to King Midas. Here, visitors can find:

    • 🏺 The Tomb of King Midas, an archaeological wonder dating back to the 8th century BC.
    • 🔗 The site of the famous Gordian Knot, an ancient puzzle said to be impossible to untie—until Alexander the Great cut through it, fulfilling a prophecy that the solver would rule Asia.

Ankara: A City of Contrast and Culture

✨ With its mix of modern urban life, deep-rooted history, and cultural treasures, Ankara offers a unique travel experience. Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, wandering through bustling markets, or immersing yourself in contemporary Turkish culture, this vibrant capital is a must-visit destination.
