Sightseeing in Ankara

Over the years Ankara's green parks have blossomed and are now part of the beautiful landscape. Residents enjoy spending their time out of doors, in particular enjoying a weekend picnic in the Atatürk Orman Çiftligi or Kızılcahamam forests.

Ankara is also host to the Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesi which contains works from as far back as 5000 B.C.

For those wishing to get out of the city, Abant Lake, Safranbolu, and Cappadocia are near enough for weekend getaways.
