Ankamall

Ankamall is one of Ankara's largest and most prominent shopping centres, located on Atatürk Bulvarı in the Beştepe area of Yenimahalle on the western side of the city. The mall contains over 300 shops spread across multiple floors, making it a comprehensive retail destination covering fashion, electronics, sportswear, home goods, books, and children's products under one roof. The brand lineup includes international labels familiar from European capitals — Zara, Mango, Tommy Hilfiger — alongside Turkish retail chains such as LC Waikiki and Koton that offer good-value locally produced clothing. The centrepiece of Ankamall's entertainment offer is its IMAX cinema, one of the largest big-format screening venues in the Ankara metropolitan area, which draws visitors specifically for major film releases. A large food court provides fast food, local Turkish snacks, and several sit-down restaurant options, while a Migros hypermarket handles grocery needs. The mall's scale means navigating all floors in a single visit is time-consuming; most visitors target specific floors based on product category rather than browsing comprehensively. Ankamall is accessible by the M3 metro line with a stop at Atatürk Orman Çiftliği station, making it reachable from Kızılay with one interchange at Batıkent. Car parking is extensive, which contributes to heavy weekend traffic from across the western Ankara suburbs. The surrounding Yenimahalle area is primarily residential and commercial rather than a tourist district, so Ankamall functions largely as a local amenity and weekly shopping destination. For visiting shoppers, the mall's key strengths are its breadth of offering — over 300 stores representing a wide category range — and the IMAX cinema, which distinguishes it from smaller malls in the Çankaya area. Standard opening hours of 10:00 to 22:00 daily apply.
