An interesting place. On the steep bank of the river. Armenia is on the other side. I definitely recommend you to visit. A very large area of the ancient Armenian city. City walls, public buildings, and many Orthodox churches built in different centuries. Frescoes of the 13th century. A functioning mosque. Very interesting! We visited in September 2025. The visit took a day. Not all of them have looked. We decided to come again. Parking is large. It's free. Admission is 8€. Only in cash. Is it possible to pay at the rate of the nearest cafe? Golf cart rides are available on the territory of the museum city. For a fee))). We walked with our feet. And maybe they saw a lot more "motorists". It's probably hot in summer. You need to take some water with you from any time of the year. It's a long walk.)) It's probably hot here in summer. There is a civilized toilet block and a cafe in the parking lot. The cafe is weak(. But money changes)).

Visiting the ruins of Ani left vivid impressions! This ancient city, once prosperous and full of life, today impresses with its atmosphere and history. The architecture of churches and fortresses impresses with its grandeur, and the picturesque views of the surrounding landscapes add a special charm. Walking through the ruins, you feel the spirit of time and history. I recommend everyone who is interested in architecture and history to visit this place!

The provincial special administration has set up a service to come from the center of Kars. It departs from in front of Gazi Ahmet Mukhtar Pasha Mansion at 9 o'clock in the morning and is available every day of the week. It also takes a turn at 12:45 a.m. Entrance to the museum is possible with a card and paid. There are tour cars outside. But it can be completely navigated in 2 hours. The complex is full of places of worship according to almost every religion and sect with an outer castle and an inner castle. Some of these structures are standing. A lot of cattle droppings covered the floors when I was walking around alone inside. How do animals get into grazing in this area? I think it's at least as interesting as Ephesus.
