Eskisehir is a sleeper. Practically unknown outside of Turkey and underappreciated at home, the city is surprisingly majestic. The main square is among the country’s nicest, surrounded by historic buildings and blessed with a Unesco-protected clock tower. The evocative central streets are dotted with beautiful mosques, testament to the city’s long history as a bastion of the Islamic faith. Explore the remains of ancient Eskisehir Castle at the must-see Archaeological Museum, then head for one of the city’s many teahouses, fuelled by the thousands of students who attend university here. Don’t forget to try the baklava, Eskisehir’s most famous dessert.
