Bursa is pretty safe aş I experienced so far, but be careful while using uber taxi as they are not famous here İ Guess. They may cheat and take more amount of money than it was supposed to be. I experienced that, they overcharged my pay 3 times more than what I was supposed to pay.
Posted: July 16, 2025Since it is a big city, I believe there are some places which is not safe but it is definitely safer than many big cities around the world. City center is not somewhere you should concern about your safety. You can freely walk around and public transport is also safer than in general.
Posted: July 7, 2025Bursa has different parts which have different safety levels. But mostly the center is a place that you need to be aware of your belongings also, I don't recommend to walk alone at night. You won't get kidnapped but you may have an unsettling experience

Bursa is generally a safe and welcoming city for travelers. Like in any urban area, it’s good to stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night or in very crowded areas. Most neighborhoods are calm, and locals are friendly and helpful. As a woman traveler, I’ve felt comfortable exploring the city, using public transportation, and enjoying its beautiful nature, historical sites, and delicious food.

Unfortunately Turkey is not safe anymore. Since criminals are not punished by the government, everyone feels comfortable committing crimes. So Bursa has same safety level as all Turkey cities. It's kinda better from Istanbul tho
Posted: April 15, 2025Bursa is generally a safe city. But you should still be careful depending on which neighborhood and the time. Public transportation has options. The last train from the first stations are at 12 am, but some buses are available after that time till the morning.

Last year, I visited Bursa, Tophane Meydanı. It’s a historical place in the center of Bursa. It was an incredible experience. The food, the view, and the people were amazing. I really enjoyed everything.
Posted: February 6, 2025Experienced: January, 2024Bursa is beautiful but it is really boring there is not much to do.There are very few museums and shrines in general, and the sea, but that's too far away. It's okay for a day trip, but I It should stay like that for 2-3 days Not Prices are a little more expensive than Eskişehir Have a nice trip in advance
