Top attractions

A must-visit in Eskişehir is the Odunpazarı district, famed for its colorful historical homes, which take you back to the city’s ancient past. Nearby, the Odunpazarı Modern Museum showcases contemporary Turkish art in a strikingly modern building.

For a relaxing day, take a boat ride along the Porsuk River or visit the Kentpark for a bit of sunbathing on its artificial beach.

Best time to visit

The optimal time to explore Eskişehir is during the spring or fall, when the weather is pleasant, and the city is bustling with events. April to June and September to October are ideal for enjoying outdoor activities without the extreme summer heat or the winter chill. The summer months, particularly July and August, can be quite hot, but it's also when local festivals enliven the city. Winter, on the other hand, can bring snow and cold weather, which slows down the tourist activities but offers a different charm for those keen on experiencing the festive side of Turkish winters.
