Ankara is the city that I was born and lived all through my life, so when you read my comments about Ankara be assured that this is not an obejctive wiev.
Most people see Ankara as a boring city which I strongly disagree. Thouh Ankara is not like Istanbul, London or Amsterdam, it a a nice and fun city to live in as long as you know what to do. Ankara residents have learned to create their own fun because of the lack of o good night life, and came up with some interesting ideas like mini-bar ( The street drinking in Tunali area ). Also home parties are very common in Ankara.
As a tourist the are not much to see or do, and because of that we are not used to see tourists around a lot. But this does not mean that you shouldn't come here...
- Pros:Well organised city, not much traffic, lots of univesitys
- Cons:not much to do

I agree. Ankara is under appreciated & I swear we have the best fish restaurants in Turkey (sorry Istanbul, but it is true)
