Merkez
8.2
Mid score (6-8)
Kars city center is the provincial hub but it's small — maybe 40k people if you count the whole district. You'll find some university students and a tiny community of NGO workers, but it's still deeply conservative with strong family networks. Being foreign gets you curiosity and hospitality, not much more. Winter is brutal and empties the streets.
