Is Ankara Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Ankara

I think Ankara is mostly a safe city. It may not be the safest but it definitely depends on which town you are in. Some neighbourhoods may be dangerous for women. If you are not alone, that's fine. If you are travelling alone, make sure you carry something in case you need to protect yourself.

I dont know if i was know ankara like that but i came here like a year ago but i felt in safe %50 somewhere is so safe but some streets isnt like that but it could be because im new here, maybe other years ill feel safe and comfort btw i have to tell something i am really panic, so maybe it was the big reason

Ankara is the city of my dreams and I think it's the safest city in the country. That's why I love living here. It's great to stroll around and discover new places here. Moreover, Atatürk is here too, and this makes me feel at home. That's why I love Ankara.

Ankara depending on the neighborhood can be intimidating. Especially, the taxi drivers are a nightmare. As a local i haven’t had the best experience. I suggest you use the app called ‘Martı’ instead of yellow taxi cabs. If you take the yellow cabs, make sure they turn on the taximeter and they turn the navigation. Don’t take initial price.

I would say some places in Ankara are pretty safe in daylight,but places such as Mamak,Keçiören,Sincan might not be that safe considering my experiences. Nothing particular has happened to me but I can say I dont feel super safe in these districts. Moreover,when it gets dark I dont ever feel safe I m guessing any women feel this way :(

Depends mostly on the district you are staying. As long as you are not in a bad district, you will have no problem. Places to avoid: * Çinçin(gultepe district), Mamak, not very safe, sociocultural level is very low *ulus (at nights, there will be a drunk crowd for pavyons(different kind of night club)) *kaleiçi (only at nights, in day time it is safe , you can see the ankara castle)

Honestly it depends on which part of Ankara you're visiting and what time it is. I would say Çankaya is the safest place overall but it also varies in its own. I wouldn't recommend going to Ulus or Sıhhiye past 6pm.

From my perspective, Ankara feels generally safe, especially in central areas with a strong police presence. Walking around during the day feels comfortable, and public transportation is well-monitored. Like any big city, there are areas that feel less secure at night, so I’d avoid isolated streets and stay aware of my surroundings. While past incidents remind me to stay cautious, daily life in Ankara feels stable, and most people go about their routines without concern.

Maybe for somebody when they hear Turkey they start imagining some danger but honestly this place feels very safe. Also as a girl coming here I've been told to be careful. After a few days I made my own opinion and from heart can tell you all people here are very generous and peaceful. 💗

I feel safe as I walk around the city but some places are not safe. At late night I wouldn't go out but time to time I did and nothing happened. As long as you are careful about your safety nothing happens . Be awere but no need to be alarmed .

Solo travel

Ankara is a beautiful city but i think its a little bit boring. Anıtkabir was a must seen place i think my experience was really emotional. Tunalı was a good place. I tried cocktails at pint and they were delicious

Solo travel

The city was amazing and beautiful and the people were friendly with tourists. I reserved a really cheap hotel because I had little budget, but despite the prices it was really great and I also met a new friend, that by my solo trip, I think that was amazing;)
