Ankara, Turkey

City guide

Ankara

Ankara is Turkey's capital, a government and business city on the Anatolian plateau rather than a tourist magnet. Anitkabir, the hilltop mausoleum of Ataturk, and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in the old citadel are its main draws for visitors passing through.
