The Bursa Archaeological Museum (Bursa Arkeoloji Müzesi) has one of the richest collections of all the archaeology museums in Turkey.
The Grand Mosque of Bursa (Ulu Cami) is the largest and most famous mosque in the city. It’s also one of the most beautiful in Turkey.
The historic city center of Bursa contains several points of interest outside the Grand Mosque and bazaars. I’ll go into detail on many of them in this post, covering the area between Bursa Castle and the Green Mosque.
A brief guide on where (and what) to eat in Bursa. The city has a decent variety of restaurants offering all kinds of Turkish cuisine. The star of the show is the famous İskender kebab.

A brief guide on where to stay in Bursa, Turkey. On my several trips to the city, I’ve stayed at some very different types of hotels.
There are a few points of interest outside the historic city center of Edirne, Turkey. Most are within a 15 or 20 minute walking distance.

Lüleburgaz is a small Turkish city in Eastern Thrace. It’s not too far from Edirne and has a few important Ottoman landmarks.
