Discover Uşak: museums, historic houses and green spaces

Uşak brings together museum visits, historic houses, a green space, and central train and bus stations. These themes offer different perspectives on the city: collections and local history, the architecture of the houses, or paths and quiet spots surrounded by greenery. You can give each of these areas a different level of priority, depending on what you would like to focus on during your trip.

If you are looking for a hotel in Uşak, your travel plans can be a good starting point: are museums and local history your main focus, are you interested in the city’s historic character, or would you like to make time for the outdoors? Traveling by train or long-distance bus may also play a part in your plans.

Museums with different areas of focus

The Uşak Museum spans three floors and displays 2,000 exhibits; its collection contains a total of 43,000 objects. These figures distinguish between the items on display and the collection as a whole. The third floor is dedicated to the Lydian period and the treasures of Croesus. This thematic focus gives the museum a clear historical emphasis. If you are particularly interested in the Lydian period, you can take it into account when planning your museum visit.

The City History Museum is located in central Uşak and offers a different local perspective. Uşak tarhana is presented there through visual displays and models. The museums therefore cover different subjects: the Uşak Museum has a collection spread across three floors, with the third dedicated to the Lydian period, while the City History Museum presents tarhana using pictures and models.

Historic houses and the cityscape

The historic houses add a distinct cultural focus to a visit. They are mostly two stories tall: the ground floors are made of stone and the upper floors of wood. The houses show features of Ottoman architecture and are protected to preserve their historic structure. In the neighborhoods of Aybey, Bozkurt, Karaağaç, Kurtuluş and Işık, they offer visitors a visual impression. If you are interested in architecture, you will find specific features to observe here: the contrast between stone ground floors and wooden upper floors, as well as the Ottoman architectural character.

Paths and quiet spots at Millet Bahçesi

Millet Bahçesi offers another, greener side of Uşak. Its features include landscaped green areas, paths for walking and cycling, and places to relax. As a social gathering place surrounded by greenery, the park has a different character from the museums and historic houses. The paths let you combine your visit with a walk or bike ride, while the places to relax complement the green spaces.

Arriving by train or long-distance bus

Uşak railway station is the central TCDD station in the city center. The intercity bus station is also in the city center; numerous bus companies offer travel to most parts of Turkey. These are two different ways to reach the city for your trip. Specific train services and the bus companies’ offerings may change. Before departure, check the current timetable and find a bus connection that suits your trip.
