13 beautiful things you wish you lived in Eskişehir
Contrary to its name, Eskişehiris such a colorful, vibrant and brand new, always young city... It is quite calm and peaceful compared to many metropolitan cities, but it also has almost every opportunity of metropolitan cities, from entertainment to shopping. Its sincere atmosphere immediately envelops you, you have to ask those who have been here and those who have not... You feel like you are from there from the very first moment you step in.
In the parks and on the streets, the joy of young people with books in their hands fills the city. Not to mention being organized and safe. Here are 13 good reasons for you to go and see all these beauties on the spot and say "I wish I lived in Eskişehir!":
1.Eskişehir is the city of our country that has an artificial beach so that you don't say "This city is only missing the sea!". Kentpark is very close to the city center, where you can sunbathe and enjoy the clear waters if the weather is nice while having a nice Sunday stroll in Kentpark. In addition to the sea, it also impresses with its lush green nature.
2. If you want to step into the world of fantasy, turn your head and make eye contact with Sazova Science and Culture Park. You can take a nice walk in Sazova, which makes you smile with its fairy tale castle and huge ship around the small lake, and take a journey to the fairy tale land full of dreams.
3. After a small stroll in Adalar (yes, there is a neighborhood named 'Adalar' in a city without a sea:), you can go down to the edge of Porsukif you want to sack your seeds, maybe have a drink with your friends, maybe lie on the grass, read your book and listen to music.
4. You don't need to go all the way to Italy to take a gondola ride. Eskisehir is right next to you! You can travel by gondola on the Porsuk River , which never looks like Venice, and have beautiful photos taken.
5. After all these beautiful things, wouldn't it be nice to have a waterfall that soothes us with the sound of beautiful water? Don't worry, this ageless city has that too! It is a completely different pleasure to sip your tea against the magnificent city view in Şelale Park. Especially if Eskişehir is covered in white snow!
6. You may think it is a small city in Anatolia, but Eskişehir is home to two of the biggest and best universities in our country. Osmangazi and Anadolu Universities. Especially the main campus of Anadolu Universityin the center of the city is worth seeing with its garden arrangement, train wagons, and the artworks inside the campus, sculptures that come out of the imagination of the students.
7. Speaking of sculptures, you will see beautiful sculptures with different stories almost everywhere in the city. Wouldn't you like to have a photo of you side by side with the aunts chatting on Doktorlar Street?
8. Odunpazarı Houses with its architecture and colorful houses in narrow streets and the Glass Arts Museum right next to it are really worth seeing.
