About this experience
Visiter Bursa depuis Istanbul est une excellente idée si vous souhaitez une escapade complète, alliant à la fois histoire, nature et gastronomie. Surnommée "Bursa la Verte" (Yeşil Bursa), elle offre un contraste saisissant avec l'effervescence d'Istanbul. Située au pied du majestueux mont Uludağ, la ville est un véritable havre de paix où vous pourrez profiter de vastes parcs et forêts. Historiquement, Bursa est d'une importance capitale puisqu'elle fut la première capitale de l'Empire ottoman. C'est une ville chargée d'histoire où vous pourrez admirer des sites emblématiques comme la Grande Mosquée (Ulu Cami) et les mausolées des premiers sultans, témoignant de l'héritage impérial. En plus de son patrimoine, Bursa est une destination culinaire incontournable, étant le berceau de l'İskender Kebab. En somme, une visite à Bursa vous permet de vivre une expérience enrichissante et diversifiée, loin de l'agitation urbaine, tout en étant facilement accessible.

Kozahan
Le centre commercial séculaire de Bursa, le Vieux Marché de la Soie (Koza Han), a été construit en 1492 avec l'ordre de Bayezıt II de générer des revenus pour les mosquées et madrasahs d'Istanbul. Le premier arrêt des touristes à Bursa, Koza Han, est un chef-d'œuvre de renommée mondiale. Il se compose de 95 pièces sur deux étages autour d'une cour rectangulaire. À l'étage supérieur du Koza Han, on trouve des cafés et des boutiques vendant des produits en soie. Des escaliers en pierre situés des deux côtés de l'entrée mènent à l'étage supérieur. Les arcs du portique sont en brique et en forme de dôme. Le portique est composé de 40 dômes en béton. Les pièces sont couvertes de voûtes, et chacune d'entre elles possède deux fenêtres donnant sur l'extérieur. Toutes les pièces de l'étage supérieur sont utilisées comme boutiques de soie et de produits en soie. Il y a une mosquée séparée au milieu de la cour, comme dans certains caravansérails seldjoukides.

My first trip to Bursa, but not the last
Nice city, cheaper than in Istanbul. Beautiful parks, mosques, beautiful nature and a calmer pace. Good food

BURSA
I love Bursa because it is less touristy and you have the mountain area so close at hand. I always stay at the B Loft Hotel which is 30 mtrs from the beginning of the Bazaar, the rooms are a good size and well appointed, staff are first class and your stay includes breakfast. At night it is quiet but everything is close at hand.

Bursa visit
We visited Bursa which is 2 1/2hr drive outside of Istanbul. Our driver and tour guides are courteous and knowledgeable. We are very comfortable in cushy air-conditioned vehicle. We took ferry back to Istanbul. My personal opinion with the tour is if you have seen major attractions in Istanbul, don't expect the same in Bursa. The trip to get to and from Bursa is quite long because of that the tour is quite expensive. Our tour guide and driver took us to Turkish treat shop and they were going to take us to silk items shop if we want to. I guess we can always say NO.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Bursa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Discover Bursa cost?
+
Prices start at $900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Bursa take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Discover Bursa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Bursa?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Bursa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Bursa?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Bursa start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
