- Istanbul - To reach Bursa, the bus will head to a harbor for a delightful car ferry ride across the Marmara Sea. During this ferry trip, enjoy stunning views of the Bosporus and the majestic bridges linking Asia and Europe. The total travel time between Istanbul and Bursa is approximately 2 hours.
- Bursa - After your free time, the bus will proceed to the next stop of the tour. A visit to a shop selling authentic Turkish delight is included. This globally renowned dessert will surely be one of your sweetest memories from Turkey, so don’t miss the opportunity to purchase your favorites.
- Uludag National Park - Once your free time concludes, you’ll board a cable car for an exhilarating ride to Bursa’s city center. Unlike other companies offering Bursa tours, we provide a genuine cable car experience lasting about 30 minutes, rather than a brief 7-minute chairlift ride. Our tour features a real cable car cabin.
- Uludag National Park - Upon reaching Bursa, you’ll visit a 600-year-old plane tree for some memorable photos. Then, you’ll be driven to Uludag Mountain, where a local restaurant awaits with a delicious meal in a serene setting. After lunch, enjoy free time to explore and savor the mountain’s beauty.
- Bursa - In the city center, a bus will be ready to take you to the Green Mosque, one of the city’s most significant landmarks. It houses several important rooms, including a library and tombs. The mosque’s interior is stunningly adorned with green tiles.
- Istanbul - The bus will then head back to Istanbul, retracing the same route. According to the schedule, you should return to your hotel by nightfall.
- Istanbul - After concluding the Bursa tour, the journey back to Istanbul begins. Depending on the schedule and traffic, the return may be via ferry — with the bus boarding the ferry across the Sea of Marmara — or by highway and bridge.
Both options ensure a comfortable journey with scenic views, providing a pleasant end to your day. Upon arrival in Istanbul, guests are dropped off at their hotels or designated locations.
Please Note:
Due to traffic and weather conditions, the return time to Istanbul may vary. In some instances, arrival could be as late as 11:00 PM. Guests are kindly advised to plan their evening activities accordingly.
