The most important peak in the province is Uludag, which is a ski resort and national park. Bursa is The First Capital of Ottoman Empire and where Osman Bey was born, it was him that conquered the towns around Bursa in 1299 and this is the year regarded as the founding of the Ottoman Empire, which was to survive for over six hundred years. (The word Ottoman is derived from his name, Osman) Bursa is located in the northwest of the Anatolian peninsula and southeast of the Marmara Sea - the shores of the Marmara Sea are just 135 km away. First we will go Tophane; Bursa is the most well-monitored park panoramic image.

You may find cafés and restaurants with excellent view of Bursa nearby if you fancy taking a rest and enjoying some refreshments too. In the same time you can see a lot of typical ottoman style beautiful buildings in the surroundings, then we will go over Bursa Castle for an exploration. Before lunch our last stop will be Ulumay Museum of Ottoman Folk Costumes and Jewellery; The Ulumay Museum of Ottoman Folk Costumes and Jeweler is home to a much prized collection, which is housed within the beautiful 15th-century building.

After your lunch, you will see Ulu Mosque (Great Mosque) : It was constructed between 1396 and 1400 by Sultan Bayezit fully made up of cut stone with very thick and high walls, 12 heavy four edged grade with pendantives as of 20 domes. It is the most classical and monumental sample of the multi – domed mosques. It is the biggest in its size (318 square meters) among all of the Turkish mosques with its rich and roomy space, all being the grand noteworthy constructions in Bursa.

The early Ottoman architecture monuments is, Green Mosque and Green Mausoleum : Constructed between 1419 and 1420, It is called Green Mosque due to the green turquoise tiles used on adornments. It is one of the most important Ottoman period structure in Bursa, and the mosque is famous with its adornments much more than its architecture. So called for abundance of green and turquoise in the finish.
