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.

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

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;)

Ankara is the capital of Türkiye and one of the most protective place. I did not have a bad experience and i’ve been living here for 5 years. Still need to be carefull about pickpockets in the historical areas

There ıs districts. During the day I can say everywhere iş safe but at night you sould avoid some districts. Of course always you should be careful. After midnight you stay the place where people crowd you should prefer using car not walk around alone. If you are not alone I dont think there would be a problem
Posted: March 2, 2026If you mainly stay in Cankaya you are safe but places like Kecioren, Mamak, Ulus etd is not safe to travel especially at night. Kızılay is also not very safe at night. Bahcelievler-Emek area is moderately safe since a lot of uni students live there.
