I visited Ankara, but personally it felt quite boring and too quiet for me. The city has a very routine and official atmosphere, and I prefer places with more energy, life, and vibrant social experiences where there is more to explore and do.
Posted: May 11, 2026Last weekend, I went on a spontaneous trip in Ankara. I started with a short walk in Kızılay, then sat at Kuğulu Park and watched the surroundings. I walked along Tunalı Hilmi Street and spent some time in cafés. The calm yet lively atmosphere of Ankara felt really good. Especially while walking through Atatürk Boulevard, I could feel the historical texture of the city. Even though it was an unplanned trip, it was a peaceful and enjoyable experience.
Posted: May 8, 2025Experienced: October, 2024Ankara 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
Posted: August 26, 2024Experienced: July, 2024The 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;)

I think Ankara is generally a safe city. Personally, I’ve never had any issues when going out at night. Of course, there are some areas that are better to avoid, which I myself haven’t been to. But I believe every city has certain places like that, both at night and during the day.
Posted: June 10, 2026It is remotly safe but there is some minor probolems thats caused by national security because the reason that the city is the capital. There is always polices and special cars around but bomb scares are a regular here.

Ankara is extremely safe, especially because the city is mostly populated by students. Just make sure to avoid sketchy locations during odd hours of the night, especially around the mamak area, and around ulus. Other than that, its extremely peaceful and serene :)
Posted: May 14, 2026There are no security issues in the central areas. You won't have any problems in the entertainment centers in Tunalı and Beşevler because these areas are generally occupied by students and young people. But it's best to stay away from areas like Ulus/Çankırı Street in the evenings, where there are nightclubs frequented mostly by middle-aged men.
