Ankara Castle

The view from up there is simply amazing. The walls of this place carry a lot of stories that it had seen. The place is very old. It is a military castle as it contains the openings were soldiers used to sit to attack the enemies. The view from there is simply one of the best. I loved every thing I saw. If you are in the area nearby, this place is not to be missed.

Ankara Castle is a historical landmark with amazing panoramic views of the city. Walking through its old walls and narrow streets feels like traveling back in time. Around the castle, you can find beautiful shops with souvenirs, accessories, and charming cafés designed in an old traditional style. It’s a must-visit spot in Ankara for history lovers and anyone who enjoys exploring authentic places

We have been here twice already and we are never tired of it! You can have a cup of coffee or tea in a small cafe inside the yard. You can enjoy the great view from above. You can buy souvenirs from local people and have a taste of traditional items. Take your time to go up and admire the view!

It’s interesting to see how the ruins are hidden in the middle of the city. You can barely see them from the Main Street down below. The layout of the castle are has been somewhat preserved but all you see are partial walls. The view from up in these walls is very nice though. Both facing city as facing The background mounts. It’s best visited if you have someone local to point out what is what in the city view…otherwise it’s just a bunch of buildings seen from a distance.

I have been waiting for this for a long time, it came true today I found myself at Ankara Castle. I saw a big number of tourists including national and international like Chinese the most. From the top you can grasp the beauty of the Capital with a wide landscape. There are also charming traditional houses and small shops selling local crafts and souvenirs, adding to the authentic atmosphere. It's a great place to wander, soak in the history, and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. Highly recommended for history buffs and anyone looking for a unique experience in Ankara.

Ankara Kalesi is one of the most charming and underrated historical landmarks in Turkey. It’s overlooking the city, this ancient fortress has stunning panoramic views of Ankara that are worth the climb alone. Walking through the cobblestone streets and seeing lovely shops next to each other was fun!

An excellent structure dating back thousands of years, yet still well preserved, offering 360° panoramic views of the city of Ankara, which are nothing short of breathtaking!

The castle was fun to walk up and see the sights of the city. ♡ The area all around the castle is full of fun shops and cafes and was a great place to explore for the day.
