Is Bursa safe for women?

I am lucky to be with my family but if you are a tourist I can't say the same. It is definitely a conservative city and they don't like women very much. You can never walk comfortably (except in certain fancy places)

Bursa is very safe and is a great city. I live here comfortably and I have my own trading company. Everything is fantastic! We have historic places, perfect services, and transportation. Welcome to Bursa!

Bursa is a safe place, I can do things by my own self. People are kind. The only problem is the language, as in my case, I don't speak Turkish and it is difficult for me to communicate, I go with my translator everywhere.

Although Bursa is a safe city, it is necessary to be careful. Theft in the subway or public places is not a common thing in Bursa. But I think it is necessary to be careful late at night because the city has many refugees.

Well nilüfer side of the city is safe but old town has all kind of people. So i wouldnt recommend staying late if you stay in old town and if you are alone. But if your acommodation is close to subway it is also fine. And if you stay late dont use demirtaspasa station it has a tunnel that is not safe use sehrekustu station.

I felt quite safe in Bursa especially in Altınşehşr and Mudanya. When we first went there we hamgout in Old Bursa (Osmangazi). I didnt go to the mosques bc in alreday saw them before. We ate İskender at Tarihi Ahşap Dükkan ambiance was really good real İskender is good too but they served eggplants and tomato for "vegetarian iskender" Next we went to the Mudanya for swimming. There are toooo many mosses and mussel shells at the coast of the beach i recommend you to wear sea shoes. After the beach we visited the Old Mudanya Streets. The houses were pretty.

I feel safe in Bursa. Maybe it is because my hometown but there are options for transportation. Hiking to Uludağ, Golyazi, Cumalikizik, some Ottoman Empire marks, nature, waterfalls. A lot of places to see, traditional meals like Iskender Kebab, Tahanli etc. You need to consider to give a chance.
