[2025 Ankara Attraction] Travel Guide for Mausoleum for former Turkish leader (Updated Apr)

This grand Kemal Memorial commemorates the brave Turkish founding father and hero, Kemal. Kemal died of illness in 1938. In order to commemorate him, the people built the memorial in 1944. The memorial is located in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. If you look closely, you can see that the main buildings are made up of the colors of Cappadocia, the favorite of the founding father. There must be soldiers stationed here and guards standing guard. There is a guard handover ceremony at around 9am. When the national anthem is played, everyone will stand at attention to show respect and admiration for the country. This year is also the 100th anniversary of Turkey's founding in 1923, so there are many special activities❗️👍👍 Because this is where many schools conduct off-campus teaching, you can see many cute local Turkish children everywhere and take photos with them🥰✨️ #Overseas Travel #travel #Turquia #Turkey #travelholic #TravelCoolExperience #Photography Guide #Romantic #100 Ways to Travel

Compared to Istanbul, the capital, Ankara is much more low-key. The main tourist attractions in the city are mostly museums or military memorials. What you must know when you come to Ankara is Kemal, the father of Turkey (the name is too long to remember). The Turks have great respect for their founding father, especially women. Kemal exempted women from many traditional Islamic customs such as headscarves and robes, making Turkey the most open among Islamic countries. After coming to Turkey, you can really feel the huge difference in folk customs👍 The most eye-catching thing about the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the guard change. They stepped very loudly and shouted incomprehensible military orders, which was very handsome ❤️ #100TravelWays #Ankara #TurkeyTreasureCities #TurkeyFather #2024TravelReview

#citystroll My trip to Ankara, Turkey’s capital, was an unexpected but delightful cultural experience! 🌍 This city is often overshadowed by Istanbul, but it has so much to offer. I started my visit at Anıtkabir, the impressive mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, which is free to enter and such a powerful tribute to modern Turkey’s founder. The atmosphere there was solemn yet inspiring. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations was another highlight, with an entrance fee of about 45 TRY. It’s a treasure trove of ancient artifacts dating back to the Hittites, Greeks, and Romans. Walking through its exhibits, I gained a deeper appreciation for Turkey’s rich history. 🏛 Kızılay Square, the bustling center of Ankara, is perfect for soaking in the city’s vibrant energy, with lots of cafes and shops nearby. I also recommend heading to the Ankara Castle for stunning panoramic views of the city—it’s especially beautiful at sunset. 🌅 Overall, Ankara is a quieter yet fascinating city, perfect for anyone interested in history and local culture. #AnkaraAdventures #AnatolianCivilizations #AtaturkMausoleum #ExploreTurkey #AnkaraCastle #CulturalJourney

The so-called Ataturk is the title given to Kemal by the Congress in 1934. It has the meaning of "the father of the Turks". There are 5,000 books he has read in the memorial, and the notes on the book are enough to be written into 25 books. Most of the memorials are not photographable, and there is also a gift from Chiang Kai-shek. There are 24 lions on the long walkway. Each two stands together for unity, while the other represents peace and 24 represents the Turkish nation. However, I have not found that there are 24 nationalities in Turkey. The lion opens his mouth and represents that if you invade me, I will fight back. The black marble of the memorial is Italian, white is Turkish, red is a city in eastern Turkey, and only the city has red marble. The sea, land and air force in front of the door was replaced by one person for one hour. The white is the navy and the dark green is the army. In the afternoon, we just caught up with the African generals to come to the flowers. This is not the point. The point is that I saw a bald, super handsome bodyguard, a suit and a sneaker, and I was wearing a mirror image. I was very good and looked very thin. what. The sky suddenly appears with the Tyndall effect, a sacred sense of silence, when I was named "Jesus Light."

Ladies and gentlemen, when traveling to Türkiye, Istanbul may be the first choice for many people, but today I want to recommend a city that is also worth visiting - Ankara, the capital of Türkiye. I started from Istanbul and took the night bus of sü ha company at 01:20 in the morning, and the ticket price was 180 lira. This bus is really comfortable. After getting on the bus, the staff will distribute coffee, cups of water, cola, and snacks. The seats are also very comfortable. We arrived in Ankara safely around 08:00 in the morning. If you have plenty of time, or if you have to take a flight from here like I did, you can really spend a day or two to experience the charm of Ankara. My first impression of this city is that there are far fewer people than in Istanbul, the streets are cleaner, and the locals seem more simple. Here, I feel a warmth and friendliness that is different from that in Istanbul. Next, I would like to recommend several must-see attractions in Ankara: 1. The Tomb of the Founding Father: This is a very representative attraction in Ankara, a bit like the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. It was built mainly to commemorate Kemal, the founding father of Turkey, and has a history of more than 70 years. Although the exhibits inside are not particularly rich, the building is very magnificent. Since you are in Ankara, it is still worth visiting, and it's free. 2. Ankara Castle: You can climb to the highest point of the castle, where you can overlook the entire cityscape of Ankara. The scenery is amazing, the photos are great, and it's also free. 3. Melike Hatun Mosgue: The second largest mosque in Ankara, with exquisite interior decoration. When you walk into it, you can feel the strong religious atmosphere and unique architectural aesthetics. 4. Suluhan Bazaar: Highly recommended! This market is not far from Ankara Castle. I walked in by accident and found that the prices there were lower than I could imagine. One kilogram of cherries costs only 30 liras, and the prices of fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. are very affordable. I have been to many cities in Türkiye, but this is the first time I have seen such a cheap market. I must come and have a look. Finally, let me tell you about the transportation from the city to Ankara Airport. If you live close to Ankara Bus station, just go directly to the bus station and take bus No. 442. If you live far away, you can search for airport bus stop on the map to find the nearby bus stop. There is a 442 sign on the bus stop booth. The fare is 20 lira. Some bloggers said that it can only be paid by credit card, but in fact you can pay in cash. I just tested it myself. Ladies and gentlemen, Ankara is really an underrated treasure city. Whether it is the historical and cultural attractions or the affordable markets, it is worth exploring. Next time you go to Türkiye, don’t forget to include Ankara in your itinerary!

✨The Mausoleum of the Founding Fathers of Turkey in Ankara, Turkey, is the soul of Turkey Historical Origin The Mausoleum of the Founding Fathers of Turkey was built to commemorate Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey.

Nestled within the vast Anatolian plateau, Ankara is like a pulsating amber, capturing the bronze luster of the Hittite Empire, the majestic stone columns of the Roman Empire, and the vibrant heartbeat of modern Türkiye. This "Heart of Türkiye" is not only the resting place of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic, but also an unfading beacon in the long river of civilization. 1. Anıtkabir (Atatürk's Mausoleum) This magnificent marble mausoleum stands on the highest point of the city, overlooking Ankara's changing days and nights. Atatürk's bronze statue stands solemnly, and the museum within the mausoleum displays relics and manuscripts, each piece narrating the birth pangs and glory of modern Türkiye. 2. Museum of Anatolian Civilizations Housed in a 15th-century Ottoman marketplace building, this treasure trove of civilizations displays tens of thousands of artifacts from the Paleolithic Age to the Byzantine period. The Hittite sphinx, the Bronze Age sun disc, and the gold artifacts from the Phrygian royal tombs tell the story of the millennia-old civilization of the Anatolian plateau. In the dappled light of the exhibition halls, you can almost hear the echoes of ancient camel caravans. 3. Ankara Castle (Ankara Kalesi) This ancient fortress, originally built during the Roman period, outlines Ankara's time-worn contours with its massive stone walls. Climbing to the top of the castle, ochre-red roofs stretch out below, and the minarets of mosques pierce the sky in the distance. At dusk, the setting sun gilds the walls, and the wildflowers and stray cats among the ruins soften the hard edges of history. 4. Atakule As a modern totem of Ankara, this 125-meter-high observation tower takes you to the clouds in a panoramic elevator. Beneath the glass dome, the entire city unfolds like a chessboard—the solemnity of Anıtkabir, the blue tiles of the Kocatepe Mosque, and the traffic on Atatürk Boulevard weave together a dialogue between tradition and modernity. 5. Roman Theatre and Temple of Augustus Scattered throughout the old town of Ulus, the Roman ruins are fragments of time's gifts. The inscription wall of the Temple of Augustus is engraved with the glorious achievements of the Roman Empire, while the remnants of the Roman Theatre still evoke the hustle and bustle of plays and gladiatorial combats. The wind whispers through the crevices of the stone columns, carrying the sighs of the empire into the distance. In Ankara, every stone is a footnote to history, and every corner is a reunion with civilization. As twilight envelops the tiled dome of the Kocatepe Mosque, and the call to prayer from the minaret pierces the sky, you will understand: this is not only the geographical center but also the home of Türkiye's soul.
