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. :)

Basically, I find the city quite safe because it’s not as chaotic as other as it is and even in crowded places, I said a lot of police officers, which makes me feel safe general rule as in all cities I would say after dark I do feel a little worried, but that might be my assumptions Just make sure not to use small district small streets after dark and overall will be safe public transportation is really comfortable and I have not yet had issue with it
Posted: July 1, 2025You do not need to worry in some areas in Ankara (like Bahçelievler, Çayyolu, Ayrancı) But i recommend you to always ask a local about when and with whom to visit some touristic places (like Ulus) Mostly there is no problem such as pick pocketing in Ankara. But catcalling is always a trouble in Türkiye. I believe this is another problem here, public transportation is not very developed, after late hours you may have to use taxi.
