Transportation and parking

There are a number of transport options to get you to and from the airport and the centre of Ankara, including Havas Shuttle coaches, buses, taxis and rental cars. There are several different airports serving Ankara, and airport transfers are well organised and efficient. Buses run to both terminals, and arrive outside the International Terminal doors. 

Taxis run from all parts of the city and can be arranged in advance by your hotel reception or concierge service. There is extensive parking available, including a multi-storey indoor car park with space for just over 4,000 vehicles, and an open-air car park that offers both short and long-term parking.

Arriving at the airport

Passengers flying from Ankara with Qatar Airways depart from the International Terminal Departures area. As the terminal is relatively new, the check-in procedure is efficient and smooth, with minimal delays. However, be aware that security at Ankara airport is particularly tight, so allow approximately two hours before your flight is due to board to check-in and clear security checks.

Facilities and amenities

 Ankara Esenboğa Airport has excellent passenger facilities, including several restaurants serving both Turkish and international cuisine, drinks vendors and several retail outlets offering luxury goods, Duty Free and souvenirs, as well as travel essentials, books and magazines. 

The airport has its own on-site accommodation, as well as banking and ATM machines.

Despite what most people think, Sydney is not actually Australia’s capital, but is probably its most iconic and instantly recognisable one, thanks to exceptional monuments such as the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Modern, thriving and continually expanding, Sydney is the powerhouse of Australia and one of the most vibrant cities on the Pacific Rim.

Book a flight to Sydney with Qatar Airways and you’ll discover that it’s also a centre for the arts, music and theatre, with an incredibly relaxed and laid-back atmosphere for such a large metropolis.

Warm and friendly people welcome visitors with open arms, and its business sector is innovative and progressive, making it an excellent destination for business travellers too.

Tourist attractions

Top of the list has to be the Sydney Opera House. It sits on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and adjacent to the Sydney central business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

It is in fact a collection of venues that host 1,500 performances every year, attracting over a million visitors from around the world. From opera to modern dance, theatre to mime, this is the cultural heart of the city.

Many of the city’s landmarks are clustered around the harbour, and an excellent and very relaxing way to see them is to take a ferry east from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo or Manly, or west under the Harbour Bridge towards Parramatta.

This will also give you a great view of the harbour itself.

The city is famous for its museums, and visitors can choose from the Australian Museum, which has extensive exhibits covering Australia’s unique flora and fauna, through to the interactive Powerhouse Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

To find out more about Australia’s First Nation people, head to the Royal National Park where you’ll find Aboriginal rock carvings, or take a guided interpretative walk at Berry Island.
