The citadel: copper lanes, restored houses turned restaurants, and the museum quarter at its foot
Restored Ottoman streets, courtyard cafés and the calmest walk in the old city
The city's crossroads — metro hub, Sakarya's fish-and-beer tables and the student crowd that never goes home
Tunalı Hilmi, Kuğulu Park and the Bestekar bar street — Ankara's evening out
7. Cadde: bookshops, cheap eats and a long walkable evening in a garden-suburb grid
Leafy, low-key and central — the neighborhood cafés diplomats' families actually use
