Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

To say you have been to an ancient wonder of the world is fantastic. A little visitor’s centre, around £1.40 to get in an amazing sense of what this structure must have been like! 30 mins max, quick walk from the waterfront!

I was on a day trip from Kalymnos, Greece to Turgutreis/Bodrum Turkey (in August 2019) and this Mausoleum was my main to-do during the 5-6 hours we had here (we also saw the Bodrum Castle and the Ancient Theater, besides some shopping, meals and sweets). I was surprised that the ruins were just barely a few rocks laying around - somehow, I expected it to be built up a little more. The "Exhibition Hall" provided helpful information, an interesting video and small model of what the tomb might have looked like thousands of years ago. Though there isn't a lot to see, I would recommend a trip here just to experience such a famous spot of history - the only place we can walk amongst the ruins of one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World (except for the Pyramids, which are still intact).

One of the seven wonders of old world is something that everyone should visit. Site is organized and arranged nicely, it costs 14 tly(little less then 2 euros) to enter. They follow all COVID-19 precautionary measures, so it is safe to visit.

It's one of the seven wonders of the world and if you ever come by, you should definitely spare half an hour or so to take a look around. Most of the building has been destroyed during an earthquake and the rest of the blocks were used to build the Bodrum castle but with the help of the map and a visual model (inside the museum part which is tiny but if you have time to read the stories they are very insightful) you can imagine the glorious building there was. I gave 3 stars because there was some rubbish in the grounds and there wasn't any coffee place or such inside so you can spend time there and take it all in. Still, it is a beautiful sight and cultural experience so I would recommend to see it at least once.

If you appreciate history, you can make a short visit here and see the site where once stood one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Not so big museum ( very low entry price), but interesting if you like history. And it used to be one of the original seven wonders of the world

There is no big installations wich will help you to imagine what was there. You will see just peaces of old construction and video. We visited this place near 11am - it was extremely hot. There is no place with conditioner at this museum, so we could spend only 20 minutes here.

This is a neat site that shows why we now call mausoleums after massolous. It's got plenty to see for about an hour and cost is cheap for entry. Has exhibit hall and can wander around and touch the stones and climb around so that's nice. Very sad it was raided by people many years ago to fortify the castle on the coast not far away. Worth a stop to see one of the seven ancient wonders ruins in Bodrum.
