From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Small but well-presented museum with English signage. It displays findings from Hattusa, though most of these are in Ankara.
Foundation courses of the Hittite capital, partly reconstructed.
Foundations of a Hittite religious site, with intricate stone reliefs.
Poor quality, even considering the low price. Hittite Houses are their annex across the street, and no better.
Clean spacious rooms near the ruins.
Hattusas Pension / Restaurant
Basic central rooms.
Boğazkale is on a back road though the hills between Sungurlu and Yozgat. The nearest place with regular public transport is Sungurlu 30 km northwest, on the Ankara-Samsun bus route.
