Bursa
Travel Guide Europe Turkey Marmara Bursa
Introduction
Bursa is Turkey's fourth largest city and the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. People refer to her as Green Bursa because of her green nature and gardens. She is the westernmost end of the Silk Road.
Bursa is the winter skiing capital of Turkey. It has few monuments when compared with Istanbul, but then most visitors are attracted by Uludag, the mountain that stands tall behind Bursa.
Though Uludag is not that difficult to climb, one should not begin climbing unless there is some local guide or someone who has gone on the top because the trails are not properly marked.
Some of the other monuments around the old city include some mosques and the surrounding areas. Tophane is a fort-like structure where you can get a bird’s eye view of Bursa at night.

PTT is the national post service. Services are generally moderately fast but quite reliable. Sending a standard letter or postcard costs €0.65 within Turkey and €0.80 (letters) or €0.85 (postcards) internationally. There is an extended price list on the PTT website. For sending packages one might also use international companies such as DHL and UPS and local companies such as Yurtici Kargo. Post offices bear the distinctive yellow PTT sign and are generally open between 9:00am to 12:00 noon and 1:30pm to 5:00pm from Monday to Friday.
