About Ankara

Ankara is Turkey’s capital and a modern city set on the rolling plains of Central Anatolia. Beyond its government buildings and embassies, it’s known for Anıtkabir—the monumental mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk—rich museums like the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, and a vibrant university scene. The city blends a laid-back, orderly rhythm with lively neighborhoods, cafés, and traditional tastes such as Ankara tava and simit.
