Ankara Art Appreciation Date
Take a day to explore the cultural side of Ankara, Turkey. Together, visit local art museums and galleries and end your date with a warm meal at a traditional Turkish restaurant.
- Immerse yourself into Turkey's rich history and culture by exploring two incredible art museums in Ankara. Spend the morning getting lost in the ancient wonders of the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. Each artifact tells a unique story of the region's past.
- After lunch, continue your cultural exploration at the Ankara Art and Sculpture Museum. Here, you will get the chance to appreciate the efforts of Turkey's most talented artists, including those who have shaped the country's modern art scene. The experience will be a feast for the senses.
- Finally, end the day on a delicious note at a nearby Turkish restaurant. Having no phones means there's nothing to distract from the art, the food, and, most importantly, each other. It's a day dedicated entirely to living in the moment and creating lasting memories together.
Preparation steps:
- In preparation for your date, ensure that both museums are open by checking online, as sometimes museums may have functions and could be closed to the public. It's best to arrive at the museums when they open, as these places get busy quickly, and you may not have the freedom to explore at your leisure.
- Dress in warm yet comfortable clothes, as November can be chilly in Ankara. As the date involves a lot of walking, wear comfortable shoes. Also, you may want to bring along a backpack to carry any souvenirs or purchases from the museums.
- Since this is a no phone date, it might be nice to bring along a camera. Taking photos can be a fun and memory-evoking part of the day. However, before you begin capturing your memories, ask the museum staff if photography is allowed.

Some tips:
- Most of the museums in Ankara offer English explanations of the displays, but try to find a common language guidebook to help you understand the rich history behind the exhibits.
- Turkey is known for its hospitality and its food. Do not miss the opportunity to try typical dishes such as Kebab, Pide, or Lahmacun. Make sure to end your meal with a cup of traditional Turkish tea.
- With no phones, you may have to rely on more traditional methods for directions. It could be an interesting challenge and another way to engage with each other and locals. Don’t worry about getting lost – it’s all part of the adventure!
