About Ankara
Ankara is the capital of Turkey and the seat of its government, parliament and foreign embassies. It sits on the central Anatolian plateau and is home to Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, as well as major universities and the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations.
Turkey uses Turkey Time, fixed at UTC+3 all year with no daylight saving, so Ankara keeps the same time as Istanbul. The gap with Europe changes with the seasons: Ankara is three hours ahead of London in winter but only two hours ahead during British Summer Time. Government offices generally work Monday to Friday.
