Itinerary
The Bursa Day Tour begins during the morning from the city centre of Istanbul. A fully air conditioned bus will pick you up from your hotel. A tour guide will accompany you during this trip in order to provide interesting descriptions and assist you.
In order to reach Bursa, the bus will drive you towards a harbour in order to enjoy a car ferry ride while passing the Marmara Sea. During this ferry trip, you can enjoy views over Bosporus and over the imposing bridges that connect Asia and Europe. Total Distance between Istanbul and Bursa is 2 hours
By the end of your free time, the bus will continue towards the next stop of the excursion. A stop will also be made at a shop selling authentic Turkish delight. This worldwide famous dessert is one of the sweetest memories you will have from Turkey. Thus, do not miss the chance to purchase your favourites from this shop.
Once the free time is over, you will enter in a cable car and enjoy an exciting and fun ride towards Bursa’s city centre. The feature that distinguishes us from other companies organizing Bursa tours is that we include REAL trip with the cable car which takes about 30 minutes, instead of a basic 7-minute chairlift ride. In our tour, you are in a cabinet of a real cable car.
When you arrive in Bursa, you will visit a 600-year old plane tree to snap some photos. Then, you will be driven towards Uludag Mountain. At a local restaurant there, you will enjoy a delicious meal in a quiet setting. After the lunch break, you will have free time to explore the area and enjoy your time in the mountain.
At the centre, a bus will be waiting for you in order to transfer you to the Green Mosque. This monument forms one of the most important ones in the city. It includes multiple important rooms, such as a library and tombs. The interior of this mosque will impress you as it is beautifully decorated with green tiles.
The bus will then start driving towards Istanbul by following the same route. According to the schedule, return to your hotel in expected during the night.
After completing our tour in Bursa, we begin our journey back to Istanbul. Depending on the schedule and traffic conditions, the return may be arranged either by ferry — with our bus boarding the ferry across the Sea of Marmara — or via the highway and bridge route. Both options offer comfortable travel and scenic views, ensuring a pleasant end to your day. Upon arrival in Istanbul, guests are dropped off at their hotels or designated locations. Please Note: Due to traffic and weather conditions, the return time to Istanbul may vary. In some cases, the arrival time can be as late as 11:00 PM. We kindly ask guests to plan their evening activities accordingly.
