Kızılcahamam offers cultural and sports facilities in town, thermal baths and natural attractions nearby. When planning your trip, you can consider culture, leisure in town, thermal baths and nature as different areas of interest. The specific locations and features can help you choose based on your own interests.

Museums in two different locations

The Kızılcahamam Belediyesi 100. Yıl Eğitimci Nuray Yeşil Museum is in the town centre. The Hocalı Anıt Park Museum is in the İsmetpaşa neighbourhood, on Ahmet-Öztekin Street in Kızılcahamam. This means that two museums in different locations are part of the cultural offering: one in the town centre, the other at a specific address in the neighbourhood.

Leisure and sport in town

Millet Bahçesi brings together an amphitheatre, a rose garden, a library, picnic areas, and event and sports areas. The grounds appeal to a range of interests, from gardens and picnics to events and sports activities. Individual facilities may change, so check the details before your visit.

The municipality-operated sports centre is also in the town centre. It offers a modern, well-equipped space for sports activities. Together with the sports areas at Millet Bahçesi, this gives you a clear distinction when planning: a dedicated sports centre on the one hand, and sports facilities within a larger complex on the other.

Nature nearby

The nearby Soğuksu National Park is another nature destination. It is located in the Soğuksu area of Kızılcahamam district, in Ankara Province. Activities in the park include nature walks, camping, nature observation, birdwatching and photo safaris. This range covers outdoor activities as well as specific interests such as birdwatching. Photo safaris focus on photography.

The national park also has a visitor and information centre in the Kızılcahamam area. It is a nature museum with exhibits on the park’s flora and fauna. This offers different ways to experience nature: activities in the park and learning about its plant and animal life through the exhibits at the centre. When planning your trip, you can decide whether a nature outing or a visit to the nature museum better suits your interests.

Two different thermal bath options

Küçük Kaplıca has separate cabins for men and women. Check current operating details before your trip. Kızılcahamam Büyük Kaplıca is described as “Turkey’s largest hamam” and offers an extensive range of thermal bathing facilities. This gives you two specific points to consider when choosing: the cabin arrangements at Küçük Kaplıca and the extensive thermal bathing facilities at Büyük Kaplıca.

Plan your stay around your interests

The Soğuksu National Park is a destination in the surrounding area, distinct from the attractions in town.
