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.

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

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.

In general it is a very very conservative city. So you won’t be attacked but will be under constant pressure of unwanted attention. People will ask you where are you from like 1000000 times per day and won’t respect your boundaries. They mostly won’t respect your culture or values and try to teach you how to live “properly”. If you are wearing something too different or have different looks they will gossip about you right in front of you. Be careful with money - they don’t steal, they scam you into believing something is way more expensive than it is. Yildirim is definitely not a place to...

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.

About me

Hello crazy ladies! I'm Mel - I live in Bursa but my soul is constantly roaming! ✈️ I work in human resources in daily life; that is, I take the question "will this person go on a long journey with us" seriously in recruitment processes. Now I'm here to introduce myself as "long journey" in this club.🎒 I like dark tunes in music and lots of laughter in conversation. Camping, hiking, streets, street food... I'm all for it. I'm very serious: I have the map, a long playlist and a lighter. Only you are left! Let's meet on the road!🫶🏻✨
