Let's discover this charming city that bears witness to history.

Grand Bazaar in Bursa The Grand Bazaar in Bursa is one of the best shopping areas in the world. During the Ottoman era, the city was known for producing high-quality silk products. Fine silk can be found in 40 shops on the top floor of the bazaar's Koza Han section.

The best part of it all is that these are all handmade stuff! So, there is so much to buy for yourself or for your loved ones as a souvenir in Bursa.

Go Skiing in Uludag If the city's hustle and bustle become tiring (and it does!), you can flee to the top of Uludag (Great Mountain), the ancient province of Bithynia's Mount Olympus. It rises to the south of the settlement, which is constructed on the slopes of the mountain. In the summer, a Teleferik (cable car) east of the city center takes you to near the summit, where you can go hiking (or just get some fresh, cold air) and ski in the winter.

Uludag Mountain, the ancient province of Bithynia's Mount Olympus, rises 2543 meters (8343 feet) to the south of the settlement, which is constructed on its slopes. Discover this giant mountain and enjoy winter in a breathtaking view that offers the best skiing slopes in Europe.

Eat Iskender Kebab The original Iskender Kebap Restaurant, located in a blue house in Bursa, is well worth a visit if you're looking for traditional Turkish cuisine.

It is made of bread, juicy meat, yoghurt, tomato sauce with spices, and butter, and it is totally out of this world! if you visit Bursa, you must try this popular Turkish kebab!

Visit Grand Mosque in Bursa The Grand Mosque, which was constructed between 1396 and 1399 and has twenty domes and two minarets, is located in the old city center. It is Bursa's largest mosque and a prime example of early Ottoman architecture.

The mosque's white, black, and gold interior is spacious and dimly lit, creating a serene and somewhat intimate atmosphere.
