Green Bursa Information :
Bursa, located in the northwest of Türkiye, is the second most populous city in the Marmara Region. One of the industrial centers of the country, it was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire between 1335 and 1363. It has the nickname “Green Bursa,” referring to the parks and gardens throughout its urban fabric, as well as the vast and richly diverse forests of the surrounding region.
Famous for being the largest center of the silk trade in the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, the city is still an important textile center in Türkiye. At the same time, one of Türkiye’s most popular ski resorts is located on Mount Uludağ, right next to the city. The 8.8-kilometer (5.4-mile) long cable car connects Bursa to the ski resort area in Uludağ, which stands at an altitude of 1,870 meters (6,135 feet).
Many structures built during the Ottoman period and tombs of many Ottoman sultans can be found in Bursa. The city is also home to hot springs, old Ottoman mansions, palaces and various museums.
I recently was lucky enough to travel to Bursa, so let’s talk about the historical texture of Bursa, the places to see and the flavors that must be tasted.
