Bolu, Provincial capital in northern Turkey
The city stands at 733 meters above sea level between Istanbul and Ankara, surrounded by mountains, forests, and natural lakes.
The settlement evolved from ancient Claudiopolis to a Turkish city, passing through Hittite, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine control before Ottoman acquisition in 1325.
The Bolu Museum exhibits archaeological findings from the Neolithic period through Byzantine times, including regional artifacts and historical objects.
Bolu connects major transportation routes between Istanbul and Ankara, offering access to Yedigoller National Park and Lake Abant Nature Park.
The region maintains a particular reputation for producing skilled chefs and creating traditional dishes with local hazelnuts and spring water.
