Visit Anıtkabir: Atatürk’s Mausoleum and the most serious catwalk in Turkey 3. See Temple of Augustus & Hacı Bayram Mosque 4. Relax at Tarihi Şengül Hamamı: steam, scrub, repeat 💨 5. Taste Düveroğlu Anıttepe’s lahmacun, baklava & köfte: locals’ favorite! 😋 #Ankara #TurkeyTravel #VisitAnkara #TravelVibes #HiddenGems ♬ Come & Get It - Klayton
