Ankara is not exactly for the tourist looking for İstanbul-like attractions. It’s the capital city and you can feel safe. But you mat he surprised about how fast people are. It’s just us trying to balance our rhythm.
Posted: May 6, 2024In some neighborhoods you are safe(ex. Bahçeli and Tunalı) but not in all( like keçiören and etlik) as a women. If you stay in the popularly youthful areas you would be good no matter what time it is but it is always a good thing to be aware and safe

Ankara is generally considered a safe city. The central district of Çankaya is very safe both during the day and at night, but some older neighborhoods may not be safe at night. Public transportation is also safe. However, travelers should be cautious when dealing with taxi drivers. Additionally, when shopping, be aware that prices may vary.

Ankara is a really crowded and multicultural place. It used to be safer, but nowadays, some areas are not as safe, specifically Ulus, Kızılay, Mamak, and Sincan. On the other hand, the more popular areas tend to feel safer.

It is a calm and orderly city for a capital city. Transportation is quite easy, you can reach mostly with 1 vehicle. If you pay in euros, it is a very cheap place. It is generally a decent place with students. You can visit a few historical sites.
Posted: March 27, 2024Ankara is a great city with its historical and political background City also has great museaums if youre interested in archeological issues you must visit them There are many great spots for shopping the crowded areas are mostly safe
Posted: March 26, 2024Ankara is the city where I grew up. I can confidently say that Çankaya is safer compared to other zones. However, please note that it may not be very safe to go out to a club or bar. It is possible that you might be bothered by men trying to hit on you. There are certain places where one shouldn't walk alone at night. Among other zones, I would recommend Tunalı, as it is safer and a much nicer place.
Posted: March 21, 2024Ankara is generally a safe and orderly city. The public transportation facilities are abundant. It's the capital of Turkey and life here is easy. The only problem is that it can be disturbing for a solitary woman after midnight. But this is applicable to the streets. You can be comfortable in your own car, on public transportation, or in a taxi.
Posted: March 19, 2024Ankara is a safe place but the location is important. Some neighborhoods aren't safe like Sincan, Etimesgut. However places like Çankaya Tunalı, Bilkent, Çayyolu or Ümitköy are safe places. The location of the house that you stay is not really important because you will use transportation anyway.

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;)
Posted: April 19, 2024Ankara has become an indispensable city for me because my cousin lives there, and I didn't have to pay any fees to stay. It's a city steeped in history, especially in Ulus. The Parliament and Anıtkabir are definitely must-see places. The locations where the Battle of Sakarya took place are also noteworthy. Before climbing Ankara Castle, there are many museums you can visit. There are many famous streets like Kızılay and Tunalı, all of which you can explore on foot. Walking through the streets is the most beautiful way to understand a city. :)
