About Visit Ankara

A living guide to the capital

A bilingual, searchable way to explore Ankara’s places, stories and landscapes.

The guide

Visit Ankara

Visit Ankara brings the capital’s heritage, museums, faith landmarks, landscapes, food and living culture together in one contemporary bilingual experience. The editorial foundation is Ankara Kent Rehberi, published by Ankara Metropolitan Municipality’s Department of Culture and Social Affairs in May 2021.

“Ankara and its people have an entirely different place in my heart.”Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Foreword by the Mayor

“I strongly believe that Ankara will become the capital of culture and tourism. Together, we will make Ankara a city befitting Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, and a city that competes with the world’s greatest capitals.”
Mansur Yavaş
Mansur YavaşMayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality

A guide shaped for discovery

Places and stories are organized by interest and district so visitors can move naturally from Ankara’s icons to lesser-known landscapes and local culture.

Editorial approach

Readable, useful and honest about time.

Dense material was shaped into focused place and story entries while preserving names, historical context and relationships across the city.

English copy is a complete editorial translation of the Turkish material, created to offer the same depth in both languages.

Transport, phone numbers, institutional services and health-related statements are visibly dated May 2021 because they may have changed.
