BURSA: The 10 Most UNMISSABLE Places | Bursa, Turkey Tour in 2023

BURSA: The 10 Most UNMISSABLE Places

In this video, I share what I feel are the top 10 most unmissable places you can visit in Bursa, Turkey. Whenever you decide to travel to Turkey and tour this famous Ottoman city in 2022 or beyond, you can use this video as a way to guide you during your trip.

Make sure you turn on your subtitles (CC) if you wish to watch and enjoy this video in the language of your choice.

Bursa became the first major capital city of the Ottoman Empire after they captured it from the Byzantines in 1326. You can sense their presence through the various sites that exist within this fascinating and captivating city.

Bursa city center on its own provides you with outstanding historical sites such as the grand mosque, known in Turkish as Ulu Cami. This is Bursa's largest mosque and it consists of 20 domes!

Near the Ulu Cami, you can visit Koza Han, which is Bursa's oldest bazaar. Nearby to this are some fascinating markets that will really excite someone looking to spend some money.

Now if you happen to find yourself walking on the streets of Tophane, you are in for a treat as you will be able to visit the Sultanate Gate & Citadel, which is a significant historical site.

You can also walk into the complex where you can go and visit the tombs of both Osman Ghazi and his son Orhan Ghazi, the first two Sultans of the Ottoman Empire.

In addition, you can eat at a 600-year-old restaurant opposite this complex, where you really get to eat some of the most delicious food you can find during your tour of Bursa and many celebrities visit it frequently due to its outstanding reputation.

If you are someone that is looking for more of an adventure or desire to explore a little bit away from Bursa City Centre, then you are in luck as you can see some incredible waterfalls by going to Suuçtu national park. Suuçtu Şelasi is a must see.

Moreover, Gölyazı & Ulubat Lake is a great combination of a village near a lake that provides immense serenity and some of the most magnificent sunsets you can ever imagine.

The cream of the crop in terms of adventure is hands down riding on the Bursa Teleferik i.e. cable car. By doing so, you will see outstanding spectacles of Bursa City.

If this was not enough, once you reach the end of the Teleferik journey going up, you end up on Uludağ Mountain. Uludag is an unmissable place for anyone visiting Bursa. Whether it is summer or winter, there are exciting activities available here for everyone all year round.

My personal favorite activity was to ski for the first time in my life and that too on my birthday! I have already made two travel vlogs of my trip to Uludag where I show what one can do in the summer and the winter and you can those out on my channel.

If skiing, snowboarding, and winter sports are not for you, even then I urge you to go up to Uludağ Mountain and experience other activities that are in accordance with your taste.

Speaking of Village, Cumalıkızık, which is an Ottoman Village and a Unesco world heritage site is a must-see when you travel to Bursa. The colored houses that many converted into shops and cafes, as well as the cobbled streets, will provide you with exquisite nostalgia.

Another key attraction that is a must-see for anyone that appreciates Ottoman history is to go to the Green Mosque, known in Turkish as Yeşil Cami and the Green Tomb. Here, you will see incredible architecture and the tomb of Sultan Mehmet I.

About me:
Hi, this is Don Imran, I am a digital nomad, and welcome to my channel. My goal for this channel for 2022 and beyond is to travel vlog videos in Turkey or as the locals like to call it Türkei.

[dinodinov]

Great video, I plan to visit Turkey in the beginning of September. Is it hot in Bursa in September?

[Captain_Kebap]

As a video editor, I would like to give you a few tips. First of all, I think your recordings are very good, and the length of the individual sections is ideal. I see a lot of potential. But what I would really like to emphasise is the sound mixing. Try to make the volume of your videos more consistent. I had to turn the volume up and then down all the time because it was often too quiet and then it got extremely loud when the scene changed. That is unsatisfactory. All the best for you. PS: Havent checked your new videos, maybe you have already found that out by yourself

[SyazrinaChannel]
