The castle looks more impressive from down in the town but it won't be the castle that will capture your attention when you are up there but the stunning Panorama of the valley below. There is little information in English and the site is larger than it looks from below with lots of climbing to cover it all. There are ruins from the past five millennia but so much restoration has been done over such a long period that it's impossible to get any idea what is from when - except for the ticket booth, that's definitely 21st century. Take good boots and a camera. You need to drive up there as walking is only for the truly dedicated

We only had 25 mins for a quick look around and this deserved so much more, not that it is very large, but it has lots of interesting things to see.
The exhibits were arranged very well, in chronological order, with quite a good explanation in English; not just of the historical context, but also some of the processes involved. For example, glass products for the Roman age had some illustrations of how they would be made. Scythian archer arrow heads, lots of pottery, and of course the mummies, which must be the museum's most famous, albeit macabre, exhibits. These were well preserved and featured the body of a local ruler, Izzettin Mehmet Pervane Bey, with his family, including young children, who were executed in the 13th century by strangling, after he rebelled against the Mongols.
Some nice tombstones outside the museum.

Biz tabi minyatür denilince başka birşey zannettik herhalde. Bir salona tüm Amasya’nın maketini yapıp koymuşlar. Müzik eşliğinde bakıyorsunuz. Tek atraksiyon gece olması ve salonun kararmasının ardından maketteki mekanların ışıklarının yanması ve sabah ezanı sesiyle sönmesi. Yine de gidilesi bir yer. Girişi ücretli ve Pazartesileri kapalı.

Impressive castle. You need a car to go uphill and also
strenghth to climgb up the stairs to reach the peak. But you can see the view without climbing to the peak.
It also looks impressive and beautiful from the town itself.
Another good idea is to have a drink at the Kale Park to have the best view of the castle.

Built in 1865 and fully restored in 1979 this mansion has its rooms furnished with models in period costume. It provides valuable insight as to life in the past 100 years and is well worth a visit.

This is another place to see in Amasya, it holds a love and sad story behind the statues up on the hill.
You will see a beautiful garden, as well Ferhat and Şirin's tombs (a muralist and sultan's sister).
You will find as well little souvenir's shops and a place where you can sit a drink tea, eat an i e cream, etc.
Is a must as well when going to Amasya.
