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;)
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. :)

Its capital city. Depending on where u stay, safety level would change. If u have any questions about where to stay, sont hesitate and ask me. I have been loving in Ankara for 24 years. Never experienced danger during these times.
Posted: July 20, 2024Ankara, the capital city, is a peaceful and organized urban center predominantly inhabited by university students, government employees, and long-time residents. The city is best enjoyed during autumn and spring, as summers can be hot and dry.

Beyzanur
This is Beyza ✨ I'm a doctor, working in a small city in Turkiye. I want to travel as much as possible to learn new languages and cultures. I would like to visit festivals, events and some interesting manifestations which can improve my knowledge about the country I am visiting. I play guitar, ukulele a bit of piano and like to listen to other people play something. Also I am interested in photography and every type of art. I like to describe myself as a very open-minded person, always willing to learn, help, teach, share and participate in adventure. I like riding bike, hiking and running. My favorite food... I like tasting new and traditional things (except too spicy). In my spare time I like to sing, read, go to theatre and cinema. I like to spend time in nature and I am not that much into big cities, I would like to visit hidden treasures of every country. My favorite season is spring because I like warm weather and spring flowers. People say that I am very energetic and usually they remember me by my smile. I do laugh a lot 😄 I would like to share my experiences and my place with good couchsufers who will come and visit Ankara.
I think it's a safe city to travel for a female solo traveler. it's still better to avoid being outside at the quite areas after midnight just in case. if you come to Ankara you should definitely get introduced to Aspava culture. endless side dishes and the best kebab you can get ✨ I'd personally stay around Bahçelievler area. it's busy close to everywhere and alive. public transportation is always safe. Definitely visit Anıtkabir. if you want to have a chill day, go to Tunalı and have some coffee there
Posted: June 15, 2024Hi! from Ankara! If you planning to come Ankara you should be prepared for language issue :/ yeah there is an issue for foreign speakers. maybe you can talk with younger people they know more than elderly people.There is a lot of museum to see it! you should give a chance. I think the city center is safe for women.Im a student in Ankara and I didnt face with any problem.but in the night it would better if you dont hange out alone.

Ankara is a safe place for women. I live in GOP which is the heart of the city. You can eat in nice and luxurious restaurants, chill in nice bars and cafes or pubs. You can shop in big shopping malls.
Posted: February 14, 2024Ankara is a pretty much safe place for a woman to travel. Some parts might be sketchy at night but I mostly feel safe while I’m out at night. I can recommend you to spend most of your time in Çankaya. Because it’s the safest place in Ankara. The most famous restaurant to eat is ASPAVA. There are a lot of Turkish food options to choose from. When you order your food they’ll give you salad, çiğköfte, fries, cacık (yogurt drink with cucumbers in it), two kinds of turkish desserts and tea for free with the food you’ve ordered. You don’t need a big budget, medium will be enough. The safest place to accommodate is Çankaya. You guys should avoid places like Ulus or Altındağ. They’re are kind of sketchy, because there are a lot of night clubs (not the regular ones but pavyons, they’re just for men) and it won’t be safe at night. Taxi drivers are mostly kind and taxis are very safe in Ankara, but it’s not a cheap option. You can use public transportation instead. It’s way cheaper but you might need to walk too. Because public transportation in Ankara is not the best… You can visit mausoleum of the founder of Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk… You can visit Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesi, Pul Müzesi, Ankara Kalesi… You can go to Tunalı and Kızılay. If there is an exhibition you might visit Cermodern. And if you have a friend, you can see the METU campus.
