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.
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;)
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. :)

It is a safe city overall. You just need to be careful just in case and try not to get scammed because if you are a foreigner they can try to get advantage from you. Also if you know some local people to guide you it probably won't be a problem
Posted: June 4, 2025I was born in Izmir and I have been living in Ankara for two years because I am a student at Ankara University. Of course, like every country and every city, there are districts that are dangerous, but there is no danger in the city as a whole. Sometimes I come back to the dormitory where I stay very late and since the distance between any two neighborhoods in Ankara is short, I return to my dormitory on foot. Even if I return alone, I am not afraid of getting hurt.
