What to expect
Bosphorus Bridge
Spanning the scenic Bosphorus Strait, the Bosphorus Bridge—officially known as the 15 July Martyrs Bridge—connects the continents of Europe and Asia in Istanbul, Turkey. Completed in 1973, this iconic suspension bridge stretches over 1,500 meters and is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. By linking two continents, it symbolizes Istanbul’s unique cultural blend of East and West. Although closed to pedestrian traffic, the bridge is often admired during Bosphorus cruises or panoramic city tours, especially when illuminated at night. Its dramatic setting and architectural significance make it a must-see highlight of any visit to Istanbul.
İnkaya Historical Plane Tree
Located near the foothills of Uludağ in Bursa, the İnkaya Historical Plane Tree is one of the oldest and largest plane trees in Turkey. Estimated to be over 600 years old, this majestic natural monument stands at an impressive height with a massive trunk circumference of around 10 meters. Named after the nearby İnkaya village, the tree offers a peaceful atmosphere beneath its sprawling branches, making it a popular stop for travelers seeking a blend of history, nature, and tradition. Visitors can relax at the adjacent café, enjoy local delicacies, and take in panoramic views of the countryside, all under the shade of this living piece of Ottoman history.
Uludag National Park
Uludağ National Park, located just outside the city of Bursa, is one of Turkey’s premier destinations for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Known as the "Great Mountain," Uludağ is famous for its lush forests, alpine meadows, and breathtaking views. In winter, it transforms into a bustling ski resort offering a range of snow activities, while in warmer months, it's ideal for hiking, picnicking, and enjoying the tranquil natural surroundings. Accessible by cable car or scenic mountain roads, the park also features diverse wildlife and endemic plant species.

Green Tomb
The Green Tomb, or Yeşil Türbe, is one of Bursa’s most iconic landmarks and a masterpiece of early Ottoman architecture. Built in 1421, it serves as the final resting place of Sultan Mehmed I and is renowned for its striking turquoise tiles that give the mausoleum its name. Located in the Yeşil district, the tomb is part of a larger complex that includes the Green Mosque and Green Madrasa. The octagonal structure, elegant calligraphy, and intricate tile work reflect the artistic and spiritual richness of the Ottoman era. A visit to the Green Tomb offers both historical insight and a peaceful atmosphere amidst beautifully landscaped surroundings.
The Green Mosque, or Yeşil Camii, is a stunning example of early Ottoman architecture located in Bursa. Commissioned by Sultan Mehmed I in the early 15th century, the mosque is part of a larger religious complex that includes the Green Tomb. It is famous for its exquisite green and turquoise tilework, which adorns the interior walls and gives the mosque its name. The mosque features a unique inverted T-plan, beautifully carved marble details, and a richly decorated mihrab and minbar. A visit to the Green Mosque offers a serene and inspiring glimpse into the artistry, spirituality, and history of the early Ottoman Empire.
