Bursa is a kind of touristic place and have also many immigrants. Local people are kind and helpful but immigrants and foreigners are not that much. I studied here and now working here and until now I didn't have any issue or bad experiences by the people. I can say that Bursa is a safe region and in case of anything Police is near to us for any kind of urgency or help.
Posted: August 10, 2025Bursa 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, 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

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.
