Things to do in Bursa City

Go to the Grand Mosque: The moment you step inside the Grand Mosque, a silence and serenity envelops you. Its magnificent 20-domed structure, calligraphic decorations and the beams of light falling inside take you to another world. Even if it is not prayer time, I recommend you to sit quietly and breathe the atmosphere.

Time Travel through the Streets of Cumalıkızık: It is as if you are a hundred years ago. Stone-paved roads, houses with wooden bay windows and the smell of freshly baked village bread... Walking in Cumalıkızık is not just a trip; it is a journey through time. If you have breakfast at one of the village breakfast places here, fresh jams and pancakes will make your day.

Four Seasons of Adventure in Uludag: Skiing in the snowy Uludağ in the winter was incredibly enjoyable, but it has a different beauty in the summer.

Enjoying Tea and Silk at Koza Han: Sitting in the courtyard of Koza Han and having a cup of tea is like taking a calm breath in the heart of the city. Silk shawls and scarves dazzle. Even if you don't shop, just window-shopping feels like therapy.

Watch the sunset in Gölyazı: Gölyazı is really a postcard place. As you walk to the lake shore over Gölyazı Bridge, you will be immersed in the reflections on the lake. Don't forget to take a boat tour at sunset, the dance of colors really gets into you.

Enjoy Bursa Cuisine: Iskender kebab is a legend. With oil, yogurt, tomato paste... Eating it on the spot in Bursa is something else. Top it off with a hot kemalpaşa dessert and your day is done. Don't come back without trying the meatballs with pita.

Get Lost in the Historical Bazaars: Wandering around the Grand Bazaar and Uzun Bazaar means feeling the spirit of old Bursa. Silver jewelry, handcrafted coppers, colorful tiles... These are the best places to buy gifts.

Following the Shadow Play at Karagöz Museum: In the city where Karagöz and Hacivat, the shadow heroes of my childhood, were born, it was very enjoyable to listen to their story. It is a small but full museum. Especially if you come across a live show, you will have as much fun as the children.
