Çankaya at a glance
Çankaya is Ankara's central district and the diplomatic heart of the capital. Many of the city's embassies, the Çankaya Mansion (the former presidential residence) and numerous public institutions lie within its boundaries. Anıttepe, home to Anıtkabir, the Atakule tower with its views over the city, and long-established neighbourhoods such as Gaziosmanpaşa also belong to Çankaya, which is known for its quiet, leafy residential streets.
Around embassies and official buildings, security measures often mean that vehicles cannot pull up directly at the gate. In that case your driver will drop you at the closest accessible point to the entrance. Please write the full name of the institution or building together with the street and building number in your booking notes, so the route can be planned accordingly.
