Shopping in the capital is a fun thing to do, because in this way you can also get to know the architecture of the city. The busiest and most attractive Ankara's street is Salman Street, which is also known as "Copper Alley". This name is not accidental: a large number of local shops and handicrafts workshops offer a wide range of goods made of copper (including white copper), for which the East is famous - jugs, dishes, candlesticks, mugs and other utensils. Copper is widely used by the people of Ankara to create traditional jewellery.
Local craftsmen can offer tourists souvenirs and products for every taste and colours, with an average price of around thirty US dollars. When buying, it should not be forgotten that here, as, in general, and everywhere in the east, even in the big shops and supermarkets it is allowed to bargain or ask for a discount in modern slang. Here you can also buy not expensive textiles or not expensive carpets handmade. Angora (white hare's wool) of high quality has long been produced in this area. Pet lovers will definitely be interested in Angora cats, and their proud disposition and unusual colouring will hardly leave you indifferent. There is also an opportunity for lovers of grapes to choose excellent Muscat.
Most of the restaurants in Ankara specialise in local cuisine, but that doesn't mean it's hard to find places that offer Asian, European and other cuisines.
This street is home to numerous restaurants, shops, salons, shopping arcades and clubs. There are also streets here that can be tentatively called "women's clothing shop", "Mitinsky radio market", "flea market."
After interesting and informative excursions in Ankara, you can get enjoyment and entertainment by taking a fascinating shopping tour along the central Salman Street. After that, you will definitely not be able to return home without useful purchases and unusual souvenirs.
