Kuğulu Park
A small neighbourhood park in Çankaya, named after the swans on its pond, lined with cafés and bookshops and a popular meeting spot for Ankara locals.
Kuğulu Park was built in 1958 and is small in size. The white and black swans in its central pond were originally a gift from the city of Vienna and have become a heartwarming symbol of Ankara. The park sits at the southern end of Tunalı Hilmi Avenue, one of the liveliest pedestrian shopping and café streets in Ankara, busy with young people in the evening. Free entry; a half-hour stop is enough when strolling between Kızılay and the embassy district.
