As a centrally planned, administrative metropolis Ankara offers everything that an urban center must possess. The nation's best museum - the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations is well worth a visit. It is nearly impossible to miss the Anitkabir, Atatürk's Mausoleum, an architectural symbol of national consciousness.
