Description of the attraction
Shopping in the capital is an entertaining business, because in this way you can also get acquainted with the architecture of the city along the way. The most lively and attractive street in Ankara, a kind of "Arbat", is Salman street, which is also called "copper alley". This name is no coincidence: a large number of local shops and craft workshops offer tourists a variety of copper products (including white), for which the East is famous - jugs, dishes, candlesticks, mugs and other utensils. Copper is widely used by the Ankara people to create traditional jewelry.
The local artisans can offer tourists souvenirs and products for every taste and color, the average price of which fluctuates around thirty US dollars. When buying, do not forget that here, as, in general, and everywhere in the east, even in large stores and supermarkets, it is allowed to bargain or ask for a discount in modern slang. Here you can also buy inexpensive textiles or inexpensive handmade rugs. Also, in these places, for a long time, high quality angora (white hare's wool) has been produced. Pet lovers will certainly be interested in Angora cats, and their proud disposition and unusual color can hardly leave you indifferent. There is also an opportunity for grape lovers to choose excellent Muscat.
Most restaurants in Ankara specialize in local cuisine, but this does not mean at all that it is difficult to find establishments here that offer Asian, European and other cuisines.
On this street there are numerous restaurants, shops, salons, shopping arcades and clubs. There are also streets that can be conventionally called "women's clothing store", "Mitinsky radio market", "flea flea market".
After interesting and informative excursions in Ankara, you can enjoy and have fun by arranging an exciting shopping tour along the central Salman street. After that, you will definitely not be able to return home without useful purchases and unusual souvenirs.
