Bursa, nestled at the foot of Uludağ, was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire and today blends imperial heritage with vibrant modern life. Over four days you will wander through centuries‑old streets, discover the architectural brilliance of early Ottoman monuments, and taste the flavors that define Turkish cuisine. Your stay is based in a comfortable hotel, giving you a restful base after each day’s discoveries.
The guided city tour showcases Bursa’s most iconic sites: the majestic Grand Mosque (Ulu Camii) built by Sultan Yıldırım Beyazıt, the historic Bedesten bazaar, the striking Green Mosque and its adjoining Green Tomb adorned with turquoise tiles, and the solemn mausoleums of Osman and Orhan Gazi, the empire’s founders. You will also explore the Bursa City Museum, which narrates the city’s evolution from Ottoman stronghold to modern metropolis, and enjoy a tea break beneath the 600‑year‑old Historical Plane Tree on the outskirts of Uludağ, a living witness to the region’s past.
The culinary highlight is a hands‑on Turkish cooking lesson at a local restaurant, where you will prepare and savor classic dishes such as Iskender kebab, Inegöl meatballs, pita‑filled meatballs, and a traditional dessert. After lunch, free time allows you to shop for silk, leather goods and souvenirs in Bursa’s bustling city centre. The tour concludes with a relaxed morning, a final Turkish breakfast, and a comfortable transfer back to Bursa Airport.

Upon landing at Bursa Airport, your English‑speaking guide will meet you and escort you to your hotel. After checking in and receiving your room key, the remainder of the day is yours to settle in, explore the neighborhood at leisure, or simply relax after your journey. Evening is free for a casual dinner on your own.
After a hearty Turkish breakfast, you will be collected from the hotel for a full‑day guided tour of Bursa’s historic core. The itinerary begins at the Grand Mosque (Ulu Camii), a masterpiece of early Ottoman architecture, followed by a stroll through the nearby Bedesten, the city’s historic covered market. You will then admire the Green Mosque and its adjoining Green Tomb, famous for their intricate green tiles, before enjoying a tea break. The journey continues to the mausoleums of Osman and Orhan Gazi, the empire’s founding fathers, and proceeds to the Bursa City Museum, which chronicles the city’s Ottoman and Republican eras. A final tea stop under the 600‑year‑old Historical Plane Tree, set against the backdrop of Uludağ, offers a moment of reflection before you return to the hotel for the night.
The day starts with breakfast, after which you will be taken to a local restaurant for a professional Turkish cooking lesson. Guided by an experienced chef, you will learn to prepare signature Bursa dishes such as Iskender kebab, Inegöl meatballs, pita‑filled meatballs, and a sweet dessert, then sit down to enjoy the meal you helped create for lunch. In the afternoon you have free time to wander the city centre, browse boutiques, silk shops and leather markets, and pick up souvenirs before returning to the hotel for the evening.
Following a final Turkish breakfast, you will check out of the hotel. Your guide will arrange a smooth transfer to Bursa Airport, allowing you ample time for your flight home while reflecting on the memories of Ottoman grandeur and culinary delights you experienced during the tour.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
