Is Ankara Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Ankara

Ankara is the capital of Turkey. I was born here, and I haven't had any experiences of assault or been mugged. Maybe I am the lucky one, or this place is safe because, in my country, women's safety is always questionable. I think other countries are also like that, but since I have been living here, I cannot say the city is completely safe, but I haven't had any bad experiences.

Some places like Çankaya are quite safe. But you need to be careful especially in Altındağ. If you want to see Ankara Castle, you need to go there in the day, at night I don't recommend to go there...

Ankara is a safe cities although it depends on the area you stay in. Some areas may not be safe to walk around late at night. You can usually trust piblic transport for that. Also its beneficial if you have a person who can speak turkish

Actually it depends on the part you are visiting, if you are near Tunalı or Çankaya, I would say it is quite safe. However in Kızılay it can get really crowded and not that safe. But overall Ankara is rather a calm and safe city

Ankara is generally a safe city, however I would not suggest going out or walking alone at night to my fellow female friends. Public transportation is safe especially during the day. Especially the urban and city center areas are secure and local security and police forces are available.

I can't say the same thing about all parts of Ankara. I live in the Çankaya area. Çankaya is a safe, decent neighborhood where I can walk on the streets without fear. I feel safe here day and night. But other parts of Ankara may vary.

Ankara is a safer city than most cities. I've been living here for 23 years and nothing bad has happened to me yet. However, as in every city, you may come across sad events such as fights, theft and harassment in the news.

For the city center, it's generally safe. But still , at nights , if you are a woman without any friends it sometimes may be a little frustrating. İ would recommend to travel with a friend just in case.

Girls, you can travel safely during the day, but at nights, it may be dangerous depending on the district you go to, so I do not recommend you to travel at night. Public transport operates 24/7, but the frequency of passing vehicles is very low. Public transportation at night can also be troublesome and dangerous.

Its capital city. Depending on where u stay, safety level would change. If u have any questions about where to stay, sont hesitate and ask me. I have been loving in Ankara for 24 years. Never experienced danger during these times.

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;)
