Looking to escape the hustle of Istanbul and dive into Ottoman history with a scenic twist? If your answer is yes, then this Daily Bursa Tour is just what you need. Known as the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, Bursa is a charming blend of rich history, jaw-dropping natural beauty, and mouthwatering cuisine. And guess what? This full-day, seat-in-coach tour from Istanbul covers all the highlights — with zero stress and maximum enjoyment.
Let’s kick things off bright and early! We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Istanbul and begin our journey by driving across the Bosphorus Bridge, crossing from Europe to Asia in a matter of minutes — how cool is that? After a scenic ferry ride from Yalova across the Izmit Gulf, we’ll arrive in Bursa, a city packed with cultural treasures and surrounded by nature.
But first, food! We’ll fuel up with Bursa’s legendary Iskender kebab, a must-try local dish that will leave your taste buds dancing.
Ready to rise above it all? We’ll hop on a cable car ride to the top of Uludağ, also known as Mount Olympos. The views from up here? Absolutely stunning. Whether you visit in summer or winter, the fresh mountain air and panoramic vistas are the perfect refresh for your soul. You might even spot some locals skiing or snowboarding if it’s wintertime!
Next, it’s time to walk in the footsteps of the Ottomans. Our local guide will take you through Bursa’s most iconic landmarks:
After immersing yourself in history, we’ll wind things down under the massive branches of the Inkaya Plane Tree, which is over 600 years old. Grab a cup of Turkish tea, relax under the shade, and snap some memorable photos with this living legend of nature.
Before we wrap up, we’ll make a quick stop at a Turkish delight factory, a natural honey shop, and a traditional jam store. Sample some of Turkey’s best sweets and maybe grab a few goodies to take home. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.
If time allows, we’ll stop in Yalova for a short rest — and for those craving a bit of adrenaline, you can opt for a quad bike ride through the countryside (additional cost).
We offer pickups from major areas including:
Just be in your hotel lobby 10 minutes before your scheduled time, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or just someone looking to breathe fresh mountain air, this Daily Bursa Tour is a must-do. It’s a journey through time, culture, and nature — all in one epic day. So pack your camera, bring your curiosity, and let’s explore the legacy of the Ottoman Empire together.
Yes! This tour is family-friendly and suitable for all age groups. The itinerary includes a mix of historical sightseeing, scenic views, and cultural experiences. However, please note that the cable car ride and some walking is involved, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
Dress comfortably and check the weather before the tour. In summer, light clothes and a hat are ideal. In winter, bring warm clothing, especially for the Mount Uludağ visit. Don’t forget comfy walking shoes for exploring the historical sites and markets!
We recommend bringing a camera, a bottle of water, sunglasses, sunscreen (in summer), and a jacket (especially for the cooler weather at Mount Uludağ). Cash or card is also handy for personal expenses or souvenir shopping.
Absolutely! If you prefer a more personalized experience, we offer private Bursa & Mount Olympos tours tailored to your schedule, interests, and pace. Just let us know your group size and preferred travel dates, and we’ll create a custom itinerary just for you.
