مسار رحلة · Two days, two cities

48 Hours in Ankara

One day in the old city — castle walls, caravanserais and a five-thousand-year museum. One day in the new — Anıtkabir, avenues and evening lights. A weekend plan that covers both halves of Ankara.

Day 1 · The Old City (Ulus)

Morning
Five thousand years under one roof
Open your day with the Anatolian Civilizations Museum, from Hittite to Phrygian.

Midday
In the shadow of the citadel
Wander Hisar’s lanes down to Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque, the inscribed Temple of Augustus and the hans’ courtyards.

Day 2 · The New City

Anıtkabir, unhurried
Arrive early for Anıtkabir and its museum; the Lion Road is worth its silence.

Along the avenues
From Kocatepe’s dome to Kuğulu and Seğmenler parks, into Kızılay’s heartbeat.
