Ankara is the capital of Turkey with a population of 5 million. The city has been prosperous since the Roman era. And it is also an ancient city with high-quality museums, cultural and historical landscapes. It is surrounded by mountains and has two urban areas. The streets around the Old Town are still remained with the Ottoman-style houses. And the New Town is flourished with European style architecture. In the hearts of the Turks, this is a city dominated by students and civil servants. Ankara is more livable in comparison to Istanbul. Ankara is a residential and political city, meaning it’s quieter and more organized when compared to the chaos in Istanbul. Even though it has a bit of traffic during rush hour, you’ll never hear excessive car honking or the noise of the urban shuffle. The streets are also not overcrowded and it’s possible to go out without getting a headache from the oncoming waves of human bodies. Turkey’s most famous university is also here in Ankara. The Angora goats breed here are famous for the mohair (goat’s hair fabric) made from their coats.
The father of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, is here to sleep. Built in 1944, Kemal is an outstanding military officer, reformer, writer and leader in Turkey.
