Discover one of Turkey’s most scenic regions on this full-day Bursa and Uludağ tour from Istanbul. Combining nature, history, and local culture, this experience offers a refreshing break from the city with carefully planned stops and optional activities.
Your day begins with morning pickup from selected hotels in Istanbul between 08:00 and 09:00. After meeting your professional guide, travel toward Bursa with live commentary throughout the journey. A short comfort stop is made along the way before continuing toward the Marmara region.
Your first optional stop is in a natural area near Yalova, where you may join an ATV or quad safari experience. This activity is optional and available for an extra fee. Guests who prefer not to participate can relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Upon arrival in Bursa, visit a local production center where you can see and shop authentic Turkish delight, regional souvenirs, and handmade local products. This stop offers insight into traditional craftsmanship and Bursa’s culinary heritage.
Continue to the famous Historic Plane Tree, over 600 years old, offering a peaceful atmosphere and excellent photo opportunities. The journey then continues along the mountain road to a well-known jam production house, where you’ll have a short visit to explore and purchase locally made jams.
Lunch is served at a warm local restaurant before reaching the mountain. The meal includes mixed grill, salad, rice, and one soft drink.
After lunch, head to Uludağ Mountain, Turkey’s most popular mountain destination. Enjoy free time of approximately 1.5 hours, depending on the season. In winter, guests can enjoy snow activities and chairlifts; in summer, fresh mountain air, nature walks, and scenic views await. Ski equipment and chairlift fees are not included.
Guests who select the cable car option will descend from Uludağ to Bursa city center by cable car, enjoying panoramic views along the way. Those without this option will return by vehicle.
Before returning to Istanbul, visit the historic Green Complex, including the Green Mosque and Green Tomb. The tour concludes with a ferry journey back to Istanbul, followed by hotel drop-off in the evening.
