On
the hill with Ankara's
ancient Citadel,
not far from Ulus Square (map; Metro:
Ulus) is the Museum
of Anatolian Civilisations
(Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesi),
a historic caravanserai holding artifacts
from up to 7500 years, including
the most extensive and valuable
collection of Hittite artifacts
in the world.
The caravanserai is worth seeing in
itself, but the exhibits are even more
so. If you are at all interested in
the ancient history of Anatolia and
the Near East, you cannot miss it.
Unless you like walking up steep hills,
take a taxi to the museum (TL8
from the Ankara
Gar, TL14
from the AŞTİ
bus terminal), and if possible
allow for some time to explore the
ancient
Citadel and
other sights on the hill.
The museum is open daily from 09:00
am to 17:00 (5 pm), closed Monday in
winter.
A half dozen good restaurants on
the hill and in the Citadel provide
lunch possibilities.
