Overview
The Bursa Tour is a comprehensive experience designed specifically for corporate companies, bringing together the history, culture, landscape and distinctive kitchen of Bursa, the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. The tour is planned with flexible travel options: by air from Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir, or by road for teams from Bursa and the provinces around it (Yalova, Eskişehir, Bilecik, Kocaeli, Sakarya, Balıkesir and others). Flights and transfers via Bursa Yenişehir Airport or Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport can be arranged within the programme, and for teams arriving by road, a meeting point and tour coordination are provided in central Bursa.
Bursa, also known as Green Bursa, is a city of deep roots, home to the first Ottoman mosques, tombs, hans and complexes. Sitting at the foot of Uludağ, it is also a centre for winter tourism and outdoor sport. What comes to mind first at the name of Bursa: the tombs of Osman Gazi and Orhan Gazi, the Grand Mosque, Koza Han (the silk traders' han), the Green Mosque and the Green Tomb, the village of Cumalıkızık (among the finest examples of Ottoman domestic architecture), the Tophane and Hisar districts, the historic İnkaya plane tree, Uludağ (reached by cable car) and, of course, the world-famous İskender kebab, kemalpaşa dessert and candied chestnut.
On the tour, led by professional guides, the group follows the traces of the Ottoman founding period in Bursa, visits the historic hans and bazaars, takes a nature walk at the foot of Uludağ or the cable car to the summit (depending on the season and the weather), travels back in time at Cumalıkızık, and tries the Bursa kitchen in full, starting with the İskender kebab.
Running roughly 10-12 hours, the programme starts and ends with airport transfers for those arriving by air. For those arriving by road, it starts from the agreed meeting point in central Bursa. Breakfast, lunch, museum and heritage site entries and the cable car fee can all be included. A two-day programme with a stay on Uludağ can also be planned on request.
The Bursa Tour gives corporate teams a route where history, food and nature sit together. Following the earliest traces of the Ottoman state, shopping in the bazaar and spending time against the Uludağ landscape all feed team spirit and motivation.
