Old city charm, quite unexpected after you arrive in a big city that on face value doesn’t look that charming. We had a great 24 hours. Went to grand mosque , blue mosque & blue tombs ( better than grand mosque , bazaar, food markets, silk market ( lovely old ottoman building), isichan bridge

The room (roof type room) was sufficient for the purpose and duration of my stay, however if you're staying longer at the hotel then you might consider a better room type. Location is excellent and not far from Bursa bus station.

Bursa is not a quiet provincial town - it's a huge city with a lot of things to do and experience. However it's much less noisy than Istanbul. Go to Podium Park for the evening walk and a great choice of food. Go to the Mosque area for a walk and experiencing local culture. Arap Şükrü is very noisy and a bit of rip off, but still it's a good place to visit. In restaurants - always verify your check, don't hesitate to point out any "mistakes". Be aware, you're in the bazaar culture - people are easy to talk with, helpful, nice - but sometimes they like to take advantage of you.

Mudanya is a nice little city located at the Marmara sea. It's located directly at the sea. Unfortunately swimming is prohibited for most of the cost line. You need to find private beach clubs like Pacha beach. For 100 TRY/person you'll get a beach lounger and a sunshade if you like. You'll find a lot of restaurants all over the place. Prices vary from door to door. Ask for the menu to get an overview. Be prepared that even in restaurants and hotels most people don't speak English or only poorly. On the other hand most of them are quite familiar with using translator apps on their mobiles. :-)

Best tourist must-do's in Bursa: -Bursa Teleferik (cable car) to the top or at least the middle of Uludag Mountain. In winters, you can go to the top and there's a Caribou coffee to drink something hot and watch the snow or ski if you like. -Koza Han - end of the old Silk Road trade. Still lots of silk to buy. -Grand Bazaar - lots of good shopping -Ulu Cami - Grand mosque (tourists can enter; only mosque with fountain inside of it that i've ever seen) -Clock Tower (awesome overlook of the city for photos) -Old Tree (over 600 years old) - outskirts of the city -eat lots and lots of Iskender or Bursa Kebap (best place: Padilla's) -day excursion to Yalova Thermal Springs & Pool -Migration Museum (history of all immigrants in Turkiye) -Muradiye Complex (nice quiet neighborhood where once there was a church turned into a military site, and old Islamic school center)
