We've been to Anitkabir on numerous different occasions by now. It really is simply a magnificent place, tributed to Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The thing is, it is hard to review a place like this in detail, as it contains a lot of information about Atatürk, is free and even if the prior two statements wouldn't be there, it still is just beautiful. In the center of Ankara, with a great view almost the entire 360 degrees. It really simply is a must-see in Ankara. Also to learn more about the most important man in recent Turkish history, who's name and portrait you can see pretty much across Turkey. Offline reading about him in addition is also definitely recommended.

Ankara is one of the most important places to visit. You can taste different tastes by drinking Turkish coffee in the sand while walking around the old Ankara houses. You can go to Hamamönü by bus or the city bus. If you go with your own car, there is not much parking problem. You can park on the side of the main road. When you go to Hamamönü, you must visit the house of Mehmet Akif Ersoy and the tomb of Muhsin YAZICIOĞLU at Tacettin Dergah.
