Travel Guide Europe Turkey Marmara Bursa
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.
