Batıkent is a large planned residential district in the west of Ankara rather than a separate city, developed as a cooperative housing project. It is residential, laid out in blocks with green space between them.
There are no visitor attractions within the district. Ankara's Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk, and the outstanding Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in the old citadel quarter are the capital's principal sights, both a metro ride east.
A metro line connects the district to the centre, supplemented by buses. The district is spread out and the layout assumes public transport or a car.
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable on the Anatolian plateau. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are cold with snow.

Turkey uses the lira, and Turkish is the everyday language with limited English in the residential districts. Tea is offered constantly as a courtesy, and cards are widely accepted.
