The Green Mosque (Yeşil Cami) and Green Tomb

Step into the heart of Ottoman spirituality at the Green Mosque, an architectural masterpiece adorned with striking green-blue tiles. Built in the early 15th century, it reflects the elegance of early Ottoman design. Right beside it lies the Green Tomb, the final resting place of Sultan Mehmed I, nestled amidst cypress trees. These sites are not only visual treasures but also offer a peaceful atmosphere steeped in centuries of Islamic heritage.

Silk Bazaar (Koza Han) and Local Marketplaces

Walk through the historic Silk Bazaar, where vibrant stalls overflow with textiles, scarves, and handcrafted souvenirs. This bazaar was once the hub of the ancient Silk Road and still exudes the charm of old-world commerce. It’s the perfect place to shop for unique gifts while soaking up the local lifestyle. A stroll through Bursa’s lively markets gives a glimpse into everyday Turkish culture, with fresh produce, spices, and regional treats tempting every visitor.

Cable Car Ride to Mount Uludağ

One of the most thrilling experiences of this tour is the cable car ride to the majestic Uludağ Mountain. As you ascend, enjoy panoramic views of Bursa and its surrounding forests. In winter, Uludağ is a ski paradise, while in spring and summer, it transforms into a peaceful escape with fresh air and greenery. Whether you’re seeking scenic beauty or just a relaxing moment above the city, the cable car delivers both.

Traditional Lunch in a Local Restaurant

Taste the authentic flavors of Bursa with a delicious lunch served at a local restaurant. The menu typically features regional specialties like Iskender kebab, grilled meats, fresh salads, and traditional Turkish desserts. It’s not just a meal — it’s a culinary journey through one of Turkey’s most beloved gastronomic regions.

Inkaya Historical Plane Tree (İnkaya Çınarı)

Before heading back to Istanbul, you’ll visit the legendary Inkaya Plane Tree, over 600 years old and one of the largest in Turkey. Its vast canopy offers cool shade and a peaceful ambiance — a perfect spot to take photos and enjoy a cup of Turkish tea with a mountain view.
