"The first capital of the Ottoman Empire — where history, nature, and culture meet."
Join us on a scenic journey to Bursa, a city of deep historical roots, lush landscapes, and spiritual heritage. Once the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, Bursa is known for its impressive architecture, traditional bazaars, healing thermal waters, and the majestic slopes of Mount Uludağ.
Tour Highlights
Green Mosque & Green Tomb (Yeşil Camii & Türbe)
Admire the elegant early-Ottoman architecture and the signature green İznik tiles that give this complex its name. The tomb of Sultan Mehmed I is a masterpiece of Turkish-Islamic art.
Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami)
Visit Bursa’s largest and most important mosque, featuring 20 domes and magnificent calligraphy panels — a spiritual and architectural landmark.
Koza Han (Silk Market)
Step into the heart of Bursa’s ancient silk trade at this historical caravanserai, where you can browse quality silk scarves, textiles, and Turkish tea in the peaceful courtyard.
Mount Uludağ (Cable Car Ride - Optional)
Take a cable car (teleferik) ride up Mount Uludağ for breathtaking views over Bursa and fresh mountain air. In winter, it’s a ski haven; in summer, a tranquil escape.
