Hello everyone! In today's video we will show you what other city you can visit
in Turkey besides Istanbul and this time we are bringing an informative video about Bursa
What you can eat here, what you can visit and what you can do and see in only 24 hours.
In this case we have decided to take a small road trip here to Bursa
and we will show you those things that you can see in only few hours.
Going to Bursa from Istanbul is quite easy and affordable. In our case,
we booked the ferry with the company IDO and people can take it either from Kadikoy Asian side of Istanbul or
Yenikapi which is a port close to Sultanahmet. For the roundtrip ticket per person
We paid only 64 Turkish Liras but the prices might change a bit
depending on the season.The ferry takes about 2.5 hours to arrive to Bursa or
another way of going to Bursa is by bus, but you have to consider that this one is a bit more expensive than the ferry.
Once at the port of Bursa you can take a minibus to Emek metro station
since you won't find any direct buses to the city center.
Once you are in Emek metro station
You must buy the Bursa Card for only 10 Turkish Liras
and then you must top it up with enough money for the transportation.
Per person charges 3 Turkish Liras and this card will be useful for any
Transportation in the city then you have to take the metro to Osmangazi station
Which is the one in the city centre and then you are finally ready to go explore this amazing city.
This place will offer the most stunning views from the city of Bursa and also it will take you to Uludag for winter sports.
In this area we'll find most of the turistic places
and all of them can be easily reached by foot.
Walking through its historical mosques, buildings and markets is a great experience.
This place was built under the orders of Sultan Bayezid II
in 1491 with the purpose of providing income for his mosque in istanbul and its name means "silk cocoon" .
It has been an international trading and shopping center since the 15th century.
Nowadays in this place we can find lots of stores where we can still find silk products and also in its courtyard
Little restaurants to have drinks such as tea or coffee.
Now we are here in this place called Koza Han which is a very historical place here in the city centre of Bursa and
Here you will find some little markets selling silk because Bursa is very famous for selling silk as well
You can just sit around
And drink for example right now
it's winter time so you can sit around and drink some tea some sahlep or whatever you want and
We will keep showing you around.
This cover market near the Grand Mosque is a bustling place where we'll find many things to buy such as clothing, food or
jewerly. It's a complex made up from many historic buildings such as "Bedesten"
Which is another market built in the 14th century and "Eski Aynali Carsi"
originally built in 1335 as a hammam-bazaar.
Ulu Camii or the Grand Mosque of Bursa was built between
1396 and
1399 under the orders of Sultan Bayezid I
This is one of the most important landmarks in the city and its interior is absolutely outstanding
decorated with many elements from the Seljuk architecture. It's located just a couple of meters away from the cover market.
After a long day of walking through different places here in Bursa
we have decided to come and eat the most traditional dish of the city and this one is called
the "Iskender kebab" and as you can see
it has some meat and below it has bread and then yogurth and as well some tomato and
some pepper and this one if you come to Bursa you must try this Iskander kebab.
The prices in this restaurant we will leave the location in the description box
The prices in this restaurant are normal not expensive not to affordable so you can buy this one for one person
for 39 liras we will leave the prices as well and you can eat at any place
But don't forget to to try this one. You will love it
This mosque was commissioned by Sultan Mehmed I Celebi in 1412.
It's interior is mostly decorated with blue green turquoise white yellow and purple colors.
In this mausoleum will find the tomb of the fifth Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I. It's located next to the Green Mmosque.
There are many other interesting places to visit in this wonderful city, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to see them all
This is why we recommend you staying at least one full day in Bursa to enjoy it more.
For the bad whether in Bursa our ferry back to Istanbul was cancelled and we booked a bus for 50 Turkish Liras
with Kamil Koc company. The bus station is about 30 minutes away from the city centre and you can take the bus 38
near Osmangazi in the stop number one.
These are some of the places that you can visit when you plan a day trip to Bursa
