Kars Must-Sees

Kars showcases a unique blend of architectural styles, from the 10th-century Armenian Church of the Holy Apostles to the Baltic-style buildings of the late 19th-century Russian occupation. The city's skyline is dominated by the medieval Kars Castle, while the riverbanks feature historic Ottoman bathhouses like İlbeyoğlu and Topçuoğlu. For those exploring the wider region, the city serves as the primary gateway to the Ani ruins, with daily transport available from the center. Local culinary traditions, including regional goose dishes, are centered around the traditional eateries in the town's heart.
