Anitkabir
Mevlana Museum
I think it's worth checking out the gift shop for unique souvenirs related to Mevlana. I found some beautiful items that aren’t available elsewhere in Turkey.
My advice is to take your time exploring the exhibits. The details are easy to miss if you rush through. I regret not spending more time by some of the beautiful artifacts.
If you're on a budget, check out nearby cafes for quick and cheap bites before or after your visit. I found a great spot just a few minutes away.
Ulujanlar Prison Museum
Make sure to take breaks outside; the gardens are peaceful and perfect for chilling before heading back inside for more exhibits!
If you can, visit on a weekday around 10 AM. The crowds are way lighter then, and you can really soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed
I suggest wearing comfy shoes since there’s a lot of walking through the exhibits. You don’t wanna be limping around mid-visit, trust me!
Ankara History Museum
Altinkoy Open Air Museum
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded when I went, and I really enjoyed taking my time with all the exhibits.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! The museum is pretty spread out and there's a lot of walking involved especially if you want to see everything.
My advice is to download the museum's map ahead of time. I got a bit lost at first trying to find some of the exhibits.
Bring a packed lunch! There are some picnic spots, and food inside is a bit pricey. I wished I'd eaten my own sandwich.
MTA Sehit Cuma Dag Natural History Museum
If you're into photography, go on a weekday morning. The place is less crowded then, and you'll get the best shots without too many people photobombing your pics!
I suggest checking the opening hours before you go. I thought it would be open later, but I missed some cool exhibits because I got there an hour before closing
My advice is to take your time with the exhibits. I rushed through and didn't appreciate the details. There's so much fascinating info if you just slow down!
Rahmi M. Koc Museum Ankara
Zelve Open Air Museum
I think wearing comfy shoes is a must, because you'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven terrain. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!
I recomend getting there around 9 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the peace while exploring. The early light is also perfect for photos!
Don’t rush it! Take your time and wander through the caves and pathways. I wished I had spent more time soaking in the views instead of just snapping quick pics.
