Paying for coffee on a Swiss flight of approx 3hrs. I would’ve expected, that Ryan Air charges….or maybe a charter flight. But 4CHF for a cup of coffee is just another reason, that Swiss (and subsequently LH Group) has lost touch with frequent travellers by a landslide.

Ankara is the capital of Turkey and this sprawling metropolis in the heart of the country is its second largest city after Istanbul. Its unique cultural and historical landmarks make it an inspired choice for holidays and breaks, and thanks to the many foreign diplomats and international students in the city, you’ll find services and goods that aren’t readily available in other parts of the country.
The city found itself at the centre of the Turkish war for independence when military commander Kemal Ataturk made it his base. The Anitkabir, the mausoleum of this national hero and first president of the Republic of Turkey is an essential stop for visitors today. Be sure to see the cenotaph of Ataturk’s comrade and friend, General Ismet Inonu at the western colonnade as you approach the impressive courtyard and the Anitkabir itself.
The city was once little more than a village that had grown around its castle or citadel, where traders would sell textiles and carpets made from soft, local goat hair. The Angora goat got its name from the city, and you can still take a walk round the fortified hilltop citadel and Ankara Castle today. Its outer walls date from 800AD, and were built by the Byzantine emperor Michael II, and traders still sell carpets and good quality leather goods at the nearby covered market.
See the magnificent Kocatepe Mosque in the Kizilay district, it can be seen from almost any part of the city. Visit the Haci Bayram Mosque or explore Roman landmarks like the Temple of Augustus and Rome which is right next to the mosque. The Column of Julian is another reminder of Roman rule, while the Atakule Tower in the Cankaya district is one of the city’s highest structures.
A strong diplomatic presence and the high number of students in the city means that there is plenty of entertainment, nightlife and other activities to appeal to all ages, and this friendly city is also a great stop off point on trips to Cappadocia or Konya.
You’ll be please to know that once you have landing on your flight to Ankara It’s easy to get around the city using the many local bus services. Fares are cheap and the buses cover all areas of the city as well as surrounding places of interest like Konya. There is a good metro or subway system that has four lines and covers the central part of the city, and there is also a light railway that serves the suburbs and outer part of Ankara. You can also take a ‘dolmus’ or mini bus taxi from several locations, and licensed taxis are readily available. You’ll find taxis easily at the main station and at busy locations like local markets.
Ankara Esenbo?a International Airport (ESB) is 17 miles (27 km) from the heart of the city. There are two regular Airport bus services which travel through the city centre to the historical Ulus district. You might prefer to take a taxi from outside the terminal, and you should ask the driver to put on the meter if he tries to negotiate a fare with you. All taxis use the meter system and licensed cars have the letter ‘T’ in their license plate. Tipping is not done, and rates are the same at any time of day.
