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

Generally safe. Most areas not safe during at night. Only the seaside during summer would be safe if you want to go out at night. However, normal areas are safe. In crowded areas be careful about your belongings like you would anywhere in the world.

It is very safe for female travellers and newcomers during different times of the day. Just try to avoid places like kent meydani at night specially not in the center city but overall it is safe and you can travel comfortable

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...

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.
