The Hamamonu Restored Neighborhood, as the name implies, is a well-restored, well-maintained, and peaceful area in Ankara. This old Ankara neighborhood has retained its uniqueness, and several areas continue to enchant visitors with their historic features. The main attractions are the Ankara citadel and the Hamamönü area. 


In 2011, Hamamönü was named an EDEN (European Destinations of Excellence) attraction, and it quickly became one of Ankara's most popular destinations for both domestic and international visitors. Despite its central location in Ankara, it has been insulated from the congested and noisy life of a huge city, and it fascinates visitors with its tranquil charm of older times. 


This area is best visited during Ramadan, when fasting month festivities, and a variety of events are organized every evening. 


Hamamönü depicts the structure of the Republic neighborhood's late Ottoman era and early times. The dwellings incorporate Ottoman civic architectural aspects.
