Name Ankara by the tourist city, in the full sense of the word, it is impossible, although in terms of sightsecuts here, of course there are something to see, which attracts many visitors, not only from different parts of Turkey, but also from around the world. As for the choice of currency, with which it is better to go to the capital of Turkey, it is undoubtedly because this city is not directly related to tourism, prices in all stores and other institutions that deal with cash oriented on Turkish currency, that is, the lira.
But there is no problem if you have no local currency in your hands, but for example dollars or euros. Many large supermarkets and shopping centers are easily accepting currency, making recalculation to the Turkish Lear, based on the current banking course, which is sometimes a bit more profitable than in the exchange office.
But even with the exchange of money there are no problems, since the departments of banks in Ankara, even though PRUD PRUD. It is difficult to find a whiter or less large street, which would not have any bank, although recently and in their search has a particularly disappeared. Simplified the task of modern ATMs, which not only cash money from a bank card, but also exchange dollars and euros on national currency. If someone else has come across it, I will explain. You need to omit in an ATM currency, and it will show the amount in Turkish lies on the screen, which relies on the banking course. After your approval and pressing the corresponding button, the ATM issues the amount. In the event of your disagreement with the course, again, the necessary button is pressed, after which you get your money back. As you can see, everything is quite simple. And if you just decided to remove the cash from your card, then this is also there is nothing complicated, though most ATMs give only Turkish lira. Once again I want to warn the owners of Sberbank of Russia's cards, which you are more profitable to withdraw money in the ATMs of the Turkish Deniz Bank, which is in one group as Sberbank.
So you will withdraw money without additional commission interest. In stock ATMs are also no shortage, they are located everywhere where there are large shopping points and large crowds of people. Be extremely attentive when entering PIN code, because after three incorrect attempts, the device simply swallows your card.
But with you, there are no large amounts of cash at all, even if you are going to make big purchases. Almost all trading points take bank cards to the calculation, and you can make purchases on non-cash. Again, as for Sberbank's customers. In the outlets there are not one bank terminal, so ask the sellers the terminal belonging to Deniz Bank, if they have, but as a rule, it is, since this bank in Turkey is quite large.
As for the use of Russian rubles, then it will be a little more difficult with this issue, because it will have to look for a bank that takes this currency, and this does not every branch.
Cases are accepted by visa cards, master cards, maestro and other payment systems. That's probably everything that can be said on this topic.
