Hello, I'm Musa—your local travel buddy in Ankara!
Let’s explore the city’s rich history on a two-hour walking tour, starting at the Column of Julianus, a Roman monument dating back to the 4th century. From there, we’ll head to the Temple of Augustus and the Hacı Bayram Mosque, a spiritual and architectural landmark currently on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative List.
We’ll then enjoy a scenic walk toward the Ankara Citadel, passing by the recently restored Ancient Roman Theatre. Before reaching the Citadel, we’ll visit Aslanhane Mosque, a stunning example of medieval Anatolian wooden hypostyle architecture.
Inside the Citadel, we’ll explore the historic Sultan Alaaddin Mosque, and finally, climb to the top of the Citadel for a panoramic view of Ankara that you won’t forget.
✨ All sites on this tour are free to enter, making it an enriching and budget-friendly experience.
Join me for a journey through the layers of Ankara’s history, culture, and timeless charm!
Welcome to Ankara!
In my tour, we will focus on the Ulus area, also known as the Old Town of Ankara. We'll begin at the Roman Baths, then visit the Column of Julianus , Temple of Augustus, the Tomb of Hacı Bayram Veli, Ankara Castle, and other Roman ruins , and finish at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
In addition to these highlights, I can also provide information about must-see places located near Ankara.
If we manage to finish exploring these sites early, I would be happy to take you to Anıtkabir — the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey.
I organize these tours to introduce Ankara and to meet new people. My tour will take place even if there is only one participant.
*There is an entrance fee for the Roman Baths and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
Hello, I am your travel companion Aişe.
If you are interested in a two-hour walk through the Turkish capital Ankara, you have come to the right place.
We begin our tour with a visit to the Ankara Citadel. This ancient fortress offers impressive views of the city.
On the way up to the Citadel, we will visit the Sultan Alaaddin Mosque . It is a historic mosque located closest to the highest point of the Citadel.
On another path leading down from the Citadel, we will visit another historic mosque that was recently added to UNESCO, the Aslanhane Mosque.
Strolling through the Old Bazaar, past the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations and the Roman Theater, we reach the Haci Bayram Mosque, an important pilgrimage site in Ankara. The mosque is modeled on the Temple of Augustus, an ancient Roman temple built in honor of the Roman Emperor Augustus.
This tour offers a mix of history, culture, architecture and local atmosphere.
