Bursa 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.
Posted: February 24, 2025My 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
Posted: February 14, 2025Bursa 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.

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
