Turkish Cultural Delight
Stroll through the beautiful streets of Ankara and take part in its rich history and culture. From ancient archaeological sites to traditional Turkish cafés and restaurants, this date is as rich in culture as it is in love.
- Start your day by meeting at a central location in Ankara. A good spot would be Ulus which is full of history and culture. Take a nice morning stroll and breathe in the refreshing December air. The special thing about this district is that it retains its historical character from the Ottoman and Republican eras.
- After your stroll, head to the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. This museum is home to artifacts from all the eras of Anatolian history. Spend a few hours exploring the museum and learning about the rich history of Ankara and Turkey.
- By now, it would be lunchtime. Head to one of the traditional Turkish restaurants in the area. Sade Kahve or Konur Restaurant could be great options. Try delicious Turkish cuisines like iskender kebab or köfte. As you share this rich cuisine, share stories and get to know each other better.
