Bursa Tours

Bursa is a city in northwestern Turkey and it is Turkey's fourth largest city, as well as one of the most industrialized and culturally charged metropolitan centers in the country. The city is frequently cited as "Yesil Bursa" (meaning "Green Bursa") in a reference to the parks and gardens located across its urban tissue, as well as to the vast forests in rich variety that extend in its surrounding region. The surrounding fertile plain, its thermal baths, several interesting museums, notably a rich museum of archaeology, and a rather orderly urban growth are further principal elements that complete Bursa's overall picture. Main sights: Irgandi covered bridge, Yesil Cami or the Green mosque, Uludag National Park Bursa city walls, hot springs, beaches, palace and hipogeum ( Orhan Mosque, Bayezid I Mosque ), museums ( Archeology Museum, City Museum, Atatürk Museum, Turkish Architecture Museum , Islamic Works Museum, Mudanya Armistice ). Ulu Camii is the major mosque of Bursa and a landmark of early Ottoman architecture. It was built by Ali Neccar in 1396-1399, at Sultan Bayezid I's command. The mosque is large and rectangular, with twenty domes arranged in four rows of five supported by twelve columns.
