Ulus at a glance

Ulus is Ankara's historic centre and still bears the traces of the early years of the Republic. The First and Second Parliament buildings can be visited as museums today, and Ankara Castle, the Temple of Augustus, the Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque, the Roman Baths and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations are all in the area. Old Ankara houses below the castle, steep lanes and traditional bazaars make Ulus the place to see the city's oldest fabric.

The streets around the castle and the old bazaar are narrow, steep and in places restricted to traffic. If your hotel or guesthouse is in this area, your driver will drop you at the closest point reachable by car. Please give the property name and street in your booking notes, and mention bulky luggage, so a suitable drop-off point can be chosen.
