The castle and old city of Tuşpa a few kilometres west of the city.

The ancient Armenian church on a small island in Lake Van is beautiful, but the church is currently closed for restoration, making it's impressive frescoes impossible to see. Check around to see if it has opened. Even if it is closed, you may see the outside of the church, though that alone may not be worth the trip and boat ride (30 YTL if less than 12 people, 2.5 YTL if more than 12 people). Buses and taxis are available to drop you at the boat dock.
