Small but fine tour through Ankara with diverse historical destinations
As a travel lover, I like to show off the sights of the city and country in which I live. I enjoy showing people interesting and historical places that are not in the mainstream. I am also very interested in art and culture.

Description
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.
