Bursa Favorites

Favorite thing: you must go to the green mountains to take the telefrik to take avery nice photos.

Fondest memory: i visited bursa just one day ,i traveled from istanbul to bursa by taking a bus ,it is very interesting to travel from european and asian part just by a bus ,i also take a ferry in the black sea to go to the asian part .

Favorite thing: Visit 'Mahfel-Mado Coffee house' in 'setbaþý' in the morning for breakfast and for ice-cream in the evening. A restored building, traditional ottoman house, hanging over the 'gökdere' valley.
Unfortunately no beer served, not a place for me but nice and calm place to rest for a while.

Favorite thing: If on a clear winter's day in Bursa (a rare occurrence) you travel up to Tophane, you will see a large city extend before you. As the last rays of the setting sun strike Bakacak point on Uludag, the twentieth-century lights of the most important Ottoman city of a past era start to appear... Modern Bursa is encroaching on the slopes of Uludag and surrounding old Bursa on 3 sides, eclipsing its beauty. Night conceals the ugly concrete piles and shapeless, soulless buildings of this modern Bursa.

Favorite thing: Bursa is famous for towel making and our group had great fun trying on the turkisk towelling robes and turbans - we all looked so funny with robes over our shorts. I still have mine so many years later, as good as the day I bought it.

Our trip to Bursa was part of the Istanbul coach tour that we undertook. We departed by ferry boat (an unpleasant trip as most of our party were suffering from upset stomach - a legacy of our last meal in Istanbul) from Yalove and then coached to Bursa.

Favorite thing: die grüne Moschee und das grüne Mouseleum muss man unbedingt sehen. Der Hamam in Çekirge auch. Uludað Berg ist zu empfehlenswert. Ausserdem liegt Bursa nur 60 km vom Meer entfernt. Eine ganz alte Stadt mit unheimlicher Vielseitigkeit.

Favorite thing: Especially in downtown Bursa, there are many street cafes you can enjoy your coffee after long walks around the historical district

Favorite thing: I spotted this river running though the street nearby to the football stadium. I presume that is was a river rather than a sewer, although no fish were seen.
