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.

Reaching the upper slopes by cable car is a popular choice; ask us on WhatsApp what the current program includes before you book, as mountain arrangements depend on the season and the weather.

Usually in the winter months. Outside winter the mountain is green and cool rather than snowy.
