Sazova Park, Odunpazarı, the museums and the Porsuk riverside are covered in the same day, and admission to the museums in the programme is included in the package. It is designed for department and project teams of 8-35. ### What is in the programme? After meeting in the city centre, the group heads to Sazova Science, [Culture](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/tour-categories/culture-and-city-programmes) and Art Park to visit the Fairytale Castle, the Pirate Ship and the Science Experiment Centre, and to take in the view of the park from the glass-terrace viewpoint. Lunch features flavours unique to Eskişehir, such as çibörek, balaban kebab and met halva. In the afternoon the group explores the narrow streets and craft shops of Odunpazarı, where Ottoman vernacular architecture survives in colourful houses with bay windows and which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. The visit includes the Odunpazarı Modern Museum (OMM), designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and known for its stacked timber beams. After the Yılmaz Büyükerşen Wax Museum comes a walk along the Porsuk River, where those who wish can take a gondola ride. If time allows, the day ends with an art or glass museum, and free time is given for shopping for meerschaum and nougat. ### Highlights - The historic fabric of Odunpazarı and the contemporary architecture of the OMM on the same walk - A playful break at the Fairytale Castle and the Science Experiment Centre in Sazova Park - Museum admissions in the programme and vehicle transport within the city included in the package - Local flavours and crafts such as çibörek, met halva and meerschaum ### Who Is It For? Suited to department and project teams of 8-35; it appeals to teams of young and mixed ages who want a city day that is both enjoyable and cultural. Physical effort is light to moderate; apart from the gently sloping streets of Odunpazarı, the walking is on level ground. ### Planning Notes - Transport to Eskişehir from Istanbul, Ankara or İzmir is not included in the package; vehicle hire can be added or the high-speed train can be used. - Food and drink, the gondola ride and museums not listed in the programme are charged separately. - Spring and autumn are the best periods; in winter the Porsuk riverside walk is shortened and more time is given to the museums. - Odunpazarı is crowded at weekends, so the group is split into smaller sections, each with a guide. ** ### Additional Services ** Professional guiding ** Corporate event planning ** Tour coordination support ** A tour programme exclusive to the group ** Vehicle transport along the set route within Eskişehir ** Admission to the museums set out in the programme (the Fairytale Castle, Pirate Ship and Science Experiment Centre in Sazova Park, the Wax Museum, the OMM or equivalents) ## Corporate Fit - Suitable Team Size Department and project teams of 8-35 - Segment Economy - Extra Features Local economy, Low waste, Accessible Corporate Program Summary The Eskişehir corporate trip is a full-day guided programme covering Sazova Park, Odunpazarı, the OMM, the Wax Museum and the Porsuk riverside, with museum admissions included, for teams of 8-35. ## Included Services / Excluded Services - Professional guiding - Corporate event planning - Tour coordination support - A tour programme exclusive to the group - Vehicle transport along the set route within Eskişehir - Admission to the museums set out in the programme (the Fairytale Castle, Pirate Ship and Science Experiment Centre in Sazova Park, the Wax Museum, the OMM or equivalents) - Return vehicle hire or transfers to Eskişehir from Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir and their surroundings (can be added as an option) - Food and drink (lunch, coffee breaks, refreshments) - Porsuk River gondola ride (additional service) - Personal shopping - Admission to museums not set out in the programme (Glass Arts Museum, TCDD Railway Museum, etc.) ## Tour Gallery ![Eskişehir Corporate Trip](https://cdn.kurumsalgeziler.com/storage/tours/detail/139-detail-20260409002854.webp) ** ** ## Tour & Event Plan 07:00-09:00: Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir Departure by vehicle for Eskişehir from Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir and surrounding provinces (varies by distance - Istanbul 3.5 hours, Ankara 4 hours, İzmir 5 hours) 10:30-11:00: Gathering at the meeting point in Eskişehir city centre and start of the tour 11:00-12:30: Visit to Sazova Science, Culture and Art Park Visit to Sazova Science, Culture and Art Park: the Fairytale Castle, the Pirate Ship, the Science Experiment Centre (Sabiha Gökçen Aviation Park), a short walk and a photo stop 12:30-13:00: Glass Balcony (Glass Terrace) - a 13-metre glass terrace with views over the city and the park 13:00-14:00: Lunch - flavours of Eskişehir cuisine Lunch - flavours of Eskişehir cuisine: çibörek, balaban kebab, ayran and met halva for dessert 14:15-15:30: Visit to the Odunpazarı district Visit to the Odunpazarı district - the historic Odunpazarı houses (UNESCO Tentative List), narrow stone streets, craft shops and a visit to the Odunpazarı Modern Museum (OMM) 15:45-16:45: Visit to the Yılmaz Büyükerşen Wax Museum Visit to the Yılmaz Büyükerşen Wax Museum - wax figures of Atatürk, artists, athletes, world leaders and celebrities 16:45-17:30: Walk along the Porsuk River Walk along the Porsuk River - gondola ride (optional, additional service), cafés and restaurants, photo stop 17:30-18:15: Short break - Turkish coffee or Eskişehir simit served 18:15-19:00: Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality Art Museum (Ayop Kondisyon Factory) Visit to the Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality Art Museum (Ayop Kondisyon Factory) or the Contemporary Glass Arts Museum (if time allows), followed by free time (shopping and souvenirs - meerschaum, nougat, Eskişehir knives) 19:00-19:30: End of the tour and departure by vehicle for Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and surrounding provinces 22:00-23:30: Arrival (varies by distance) ## FAQ How long does it take to drive to Eskişehir from Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir?
