Family travel

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.

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.

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;)

It 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 :)

There 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.

Ankara is moderately safe in my opinion. However, you need to be as far as possible from the Ulus district at night. In the daytime, it is safe to travel around and is also nice to visit with the presence of the museums and such, but i would not recommend choosing a hotel or a hostel around that area. Ankara is also not known for its youth night times in the city. By that i mean you wont see many people walking in the streets, and even as a local, i would not recommend travelling by yourselves...
