About this trip

Bursa was the first capital of the Ottoman state, and it still has the mosques, tombs and covered markets to show for it. Above the city rises Uludağ, the mountain that people from Istanbul head to for snow in winter and cool air in summer.

The day combines both: countryside on the way through Yalova, the main sights and shopping streets of Bursa, and time on the mountain. Lunch is included.

The program usually stops in the Yalova countryside, at a historic old tree in Bursa, a Turkish delight factory and an Ottoman jam house, then goes up Uludağ and ends at the PAULMARK mall. The Uludağ cable car and chairlift are not included in the price.
