Bursa stands tall in northwestern Turkey, as the fourth-most populous city, nestling itself as one of the major industrial hubs, with a robust textile, food industry, and proudly houses most of Turkey's automotive production. What once thrived as a major silk trading centre during the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, speaks testimony to its vibrant industrial character today.

Witnessing significant urban growth through the centuries, Bursa expanded with the building of hospitals, caravanserais, and madrasas during the 14th century and now boasts a robust transport infrastructure. In terms of higher education, it houses two public universities, Uludağ University and Bursa Technical University. Sports enthusiasts could indulge in some local football action with Bursaspor or enjoy basketball with Tofaş S.K. in the Turkish Basketball League. The city is currently presided over by Mayor Alinur Aktaş of the Justice and Development Party (AKP).

When to visit Bursa

The city of Bursa, blessed with a Mediterranean climate, promises good weather from April through November, with the warmest months being July, August, and September. To avoid the crowds, consider visiting during the low tourist season, from February through June, and October to December, where you can have the attractions to yourself and reap the benefits of lower hotel prices, especially in April. However, if visiting in May, one might encounter showers as it shares the title of being the rainiest month along with January, February and December. So, pack wisely and be prepared for an adventure of a lifetime!
