Bursa City
Located about 20 km inland from the Sea of Marmara, Bursa was the first major city captured by the Ottomans in 1326 and served as their capital until 1365. Today, it is the fourth largest city in Türkiye, famous for its peaches, chestnuts, and traditional silk products.
The Grand Mosque of Bursa (Ulu Cami)
Commissioned by Sultan Bayezid I, this magnificent mosque was completed in 1399. With its 20 domes and two minarets, it is a masterpiece of early Ottoman architecture and a spiritual symbol of the city.
Green Mosque & Green Tomb (Yeşil Camii ve Türbe)
Built during the reign of Sultan Mehmet I, the Green Mosque and its adjoining Green Tomb represent the finest examples of early Ottoman artistry. Adorned with exquisite green and turquoise İznik tiles, calligraphy, and marble ornamentation, they are among Bursa’s most iconic landmarks and an enduring reflection of Ottoman devotion and elegance.
Mount Uludağ
Standing 2,543 meters high, Uludağ is Türkiye’s most popular mountain resort, known for skiing in winter and trekking in summer. It offers breathtaking views, fresh mountain air, and a chance to enjoy nature away from the city crowds.
Inkaya Old Tree (İnkaya Çınarı)
This 600-year-old plane tree is one of Bursa’s natural treasures. With its enormous branches providing deep shade, it shelters a charming café — a favorite stop for locals and visitors on the way to Uludağ.
