Bursa Tour Package from Istanbul
Bursa, the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, sits less than three hours from Istanbul and makes one of the most rewarding day trips in the region. Our full-day Bursa tour package handles everything from the moment you leave your hotel: comfortable round-trip transport, a knowledgeable guide, entrance fees and a hearty Turkish lunch are all included.
Ottoman Heritage
The city's historic core is a showcase of early Ottoman architecture. You visit the 14th-century Grand Mosque (Ulu Camii), famous for its twenty domes and remarkable calligraphy, and the Green Tomb (Yesil Turbe), the tiled mausoleum of Sultan Mehmed I that gives the surrounding district its name.
Silk, Markets and Mountain Views
At the historic Koza Han caravanserai you step into Bursa's centuries-old silk trade, a great spot to browse and feel the rhythm of the bazaar. The highlight for many travellers is the cable car ride up Uludag mountain, where panoramic views open out over the city and, in winter, the slopes turn into a ski resort.
