How safe is Bursa?

My neighbourhood is pretty much very friendly and safe so i usually don’t have any issue using transportation at night but if you’re traveling the main area you should be on the alert. Anything can happen anywhere so you should always be careful.

In general, it is a very safe and comfortable city, but sometimes it can be dangerous because of the bad foreign people in our country. I live in the Nilüfer region and I have not experienced any problems on this side.

The city is kinda divided in two areas. The Nilufer (more modern,populated with mostly youth safety level is higher) and the Osmangazi (compare to nilüfer,more historical but less safe in dark.) area

I believe bursa is a safe city overall because I didn't experience or witness any crimes including robbery or sexual harassment although i walk home late sometimes but it's always fair to take some safety measures and even when you walk at night make sure that you walk with someone and not alone

Bursa is a safe place compared to most cities. But there are also bad neighborhoods. And of course there are bad people everywhere. This is a calm, beautiful, cheerful city. Unfortunately, I don't feel very safe late at night.

Bursa is a safe city. You can come, visit, and stay. The local people are safe and good. Except for refugees and foreigners. It is Turkey's most historic and safe city. It's comfortable and safe to live. As a woman, you can come and easily tour around during the day. Caution should be taken when the city is empty late at night.

People living in Bursa are warm-hearted. You won't experience security problems during the day, and you'll feel safe. You should definitely visit Bursa, which, with its amazing nature, also has very easy transportation. However, public transport is quite expensive.

It is a big city so of course there are unsafe areas but generally it is safe. People mind their own business. In some areas dressing more modestly feels safer from the eyes tho it does really matter.

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.

Solo travel

Bursa 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
