Little of medieval Erzurum survives beyond scattered individual buildings such as the citadel fortress, and the 13th century Çifte Minareli Medrese (the "Twin Minaret" madrasa).
Visitors may also wish to visit the Çobandede Bridge, which dates back to late 13th century, the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque and the Grand Mosque.

Six kilometres to the south of the center of Erzurum is an important skiing center on the Palandöken Mountain range.
There are several ski runs; the south ski run is 8 km long, while the north ski run is intended for advanced skiers.
The summit of Mt. Palandöken, which is called Büyük Ejder (Great Dragon), is at an altitude of 3188 metres.
It can be reached with a chair lift which rises to an altitude of 3100 metres.

Nine kilometres to the west of Erzurum, in the village of Gezköy, stands the ruined Monastery of Saint Minas of Kes.
