Ankara for two, three days, castle to capitalAnkara rarely gets the itinerary treatment it deserves: most visitors pass through on the way to somewhere else. Spend three unhurried days here and you get a walkable old citadel, one of the country's great museums, wide Republican-era boulevards, and quiet parks made for two people with nowhere urgent to be.Ankara in three days: monuments, museums and markets for first-time visitorsAnkara rarely gets the attention Istanbul does, but Turkey's capital rewards a slow look: a hilltop citadel older than the republic it now governs, a museum that holds Anatolia's whole deep past in one building, and wide modern avenues built for walking. Three days here move from stone and empire to parks and coffee, with a real meal stopped for every day in between.
