Ankara hotels - Hotel Dedeman Ankara, Akay Caddesi

Ankara is situated in the middle of the Anatolian plateau, which has been the cradle of many ancient civilizations.The city claims a rich heritage that dates back to prehistoric times and which it preserves with care as the capital city.

Ankara is a political and cultural centre with its government agencies, embassies, universities and scientific research institutes. The recent increase in the volume of trade and industrial investment has added a new dimension to its political identity. One of Ankara's biggest attraction is the fascinating Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, which boasts an incomparable collection of Hittite and Urartian exhibits. Housed in a restored Ottoman 'bedesten or covered market, it is carefully planned to enable visitors to come to a real understanding of the development of Anatolian civilization. A visit to the museum can be combined with a visit to Antkabir, Atatürks mausoleum, which was built as a national shrine to the man who shaped the secular Republic of Turkey, changing and modernizing virtually every aspect of life from language to the legal system. There are many places of anthropological and historical interest in the surrounding area, which are easily reached on a day trip. Well worth a visit is Hattua, the capital of the Hittite Empire, which is one of Turkey's earliest known cities, founded in 1375 BC. Also of interest are the rock tombs of the Pontic kings at Amasya, and Safranbolu a typical Ottoman town with its wooden houses still almost completely intact. Due to its position as state capital, Ankara has become a cultural centre, home to theatres and the impressive art decor National Opera House.
