Is Ankara safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

Last 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.

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;)

Family travel

Ankara 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. :)

Deserted places can be scary late at night. But Turkish people are generally very helpful. You can ask people around you for help in any situation. Since it's the capital, there are police in most places.

Ankara is the capital of Turkey. For that, it is very crowded and it has it’s complicated nature bc of the crowd. There are too many different kind of people cuz it’s a big city and has many opportunities. But I have never felt disturbing or unsafe.

I live in Ankara, and the area where I live is really safe. You don’t need to worry about anything. However, since Ankara is a big city, there might be small differences depending on the district you visit. But overall, I can say that Ankara is a safe city.

I have been living in Ankara for 4 years now, overall I can say that it's pretty safe. I suggest taking safety measures that you would take anywhere in the world. As a personal preference, I don't like Kızılay at night, but I have been there drunk or traveling and faced no problems.

It depends on which part of the city you're in. Areas like Çankaya and Yenimahalle are generally quite safe. People in Ankara are helpful, and the younger generation usually speaks English. However, if you're planning to visit Ulus or Keçiören, it's best to avoid going there at midnight.
