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

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.

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.

Bursa 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.

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.
