Step back to the origins of the Ottoman Empire on a full-day discovery of Bursa, Turkey’s first imperial capital. From walking the 700-year-old cobblestones of a preserved UNESCO village to soaring nearly 1,800 meters up Mount Uludağ on one of the world’s longest aerial cable cars, this tour pairs deep historical heritage with panoramic alpine landscapes.
Wander beneath the 20 domes and tranquil indoor fountain of the Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami), pay respects at the ornate hillside tombs of empire founders Osman and Orhan Gazi, and haggle for pure Turkish silk inside the leafy courtyard of the 15th-century Koza Han caravanserai. With round-trip transport, a knowledgeable local guide, and iconic sights arranged seamlessly, this is the ultimate introduction to Green Bursa.
