Atakule stands tall as the ultimate luxury high-rise option in Turkey’s capital city. Located in the wealthy Çankaya district, this 125-meter-tall evlilikteklifiankara communication and observation tower offers an amazing look at the city below. It is the most famous modern landmark in Ankara. It is the perfect place for a romantic date, a special celebration, or a magical marriage proposal under the stars.

The tower opened in 1989 and its name has a special meaning. „Ata“ stands for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of Turkey. „Kule“ is the Turkish word for tower.

Because the tower sits on a very high hill, you can see it from almost anywhere in Ankara. It has a long, strong concrete stem with a huge glass dome at the very top. For many years, people have visited this spot to celebrate big moments and see the city lights twinkle at night.

The most exciting part of Atakule is the luxury restaurant inside the glass dome. The floor of this restaurant slowly turns in a full circle.

• Slow Motion: It takes exactly one hour to turn 360 degrees.
• Changing Views: You can see the whole city without ever leaving your seat. One minute you see old historic hills, and later you see modern skyscrapers.
• Gourmet Food: The kitchen serves high-end Turkish dishes and international meals.
• Proposals: Because it is so romantic, people book window tables weeks in advance to propose to their partners.

At the bottom of the tower sits a large, modern shopping mall. It has a beautiful glass ceiling that lets in lots of natural sunlight. Inside the mall, visitors can find many fun things to do:

• Luxury Stores: You can shop for international fashion brands, nice jewelry, and perfume.
• Nice Cafes: There are upscale coffee shops with outdoor terraces to relax on.
• Movie Theater: You can watch the latest films in big, comfortable seats.

Right next to the shiny tower is Botanik Park. This is one of the oldest and most peaceful parks in Ankara. It sits in a quiet valley directly below the grand structure.

Many couples love to walk along the park’s paths before they go up the tower for dinner. The park has large trees, quiet benches, and pretty ponds with swans swimming in them. It is a wonderful, quiet place to take photos of the giant tower reaching into the clouds.

Whether you want to shop for designer clothes, walk past peaceful ponds, or watch the city slowly turn beneath your feet, Atakule is the top spot for luxury in Ankara.
