Gaziantep has beautiful people who are quite hospitable. Their elders may be a bit troublesome, but they only sulk and don't do anything. There are many places to visit, whether it's the castle, shopping malls, or luxurious places, all of which are secure and good.

To be honest, maybe you can feel so free in Gaziantep. Generally the neighborhoods in Gaziantep are not safe and mostly including some of drug gangs. But of course the touristic streets and neighborhoods are not like that much. When you come and visit here you shouldn't enter in every streets, it can be dangerous. I don't want to make you feel stress. Touristic streets, antique shops, cultural meals and coffees, historical buildings and museums worth seeing.

Gaziantep’s safety is up to the neighborhood you are at there is places that you can walk even at 2 am and there’s places that you can’t walk at 2 pm so you gotta be careful when you pick your clothes and the time and location combination must be correct to visit safely
