The capital of Turkey is Ankara, not Istanbul

Did you know Ankara has more skyscrapers than Istanbul?

Imagine you're planning a trip to Turkey and want to visit the tallest buildings in the country. You might think Istanbul is the place to go, but there's another city with even more skyscrapers.

Ankara is like a city built for the sky, with 13 skyscrapers towering over 150 meters high. This makes it a hub for tall buildings, unlike Istanbul.

Example

If you visited Ankara in 2020, you'd see the Elya Tower, the tallest at 210 meters.

Remember this

The capital of Turkey is Ankara, not Istanbul.
