Citadel / Castle of Aleppo
Aleppo is a beautiful city. You can experience being in different neighborhoods with different cultures with just 2 hours walking. Of the whole trip through Syria in 2010, one of the things that impressed me most was the Citadel of Aleppo. Just being in front of the walls is spectacular. You can eat right there, in some economically priced restaurants. When you enter it's best to get lost in the alleyways. You find baths, water deposits, dungeons and even a newly restored ceremonial hall. It really is spectacular. The Inner Castle, with its well-preserved areas is really worth it. At least, spend three hours here.
And of course, take plenty of water. We went in August. So much heat in the citadel of Aleppo. Living Syria happens in a few hours in the Castle - the citadel of Aleppo. There is a cafe at the top where you can have coffee with good views of the city. But if you can, enjoy the citadel of night, the play of lights is spectacular. And don't miss the inside of the castle, the rooms and the lower parts of the castle are great!
