Discover the highlights of Bursa, the former Ottoman capital, on a full-day tour from Istanbul. Visit Uludag Mountain, one of Turkey's best destinations for winter sports, and ride the cable car. Enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch, admire the Green Mosque, and take a walk through the Old Silk Market.

After getting picked up from your hotel in Istanbul, hop on the ferry at Kocaeli for a 45-minute journey to Yalova. From there, drive in an air-conditioned bus to Bursa.

Make your first stop of the day at the historical Inkaya Tree, a 600-year-old tree that's the symbol of the city. Then, refuel with a mixed grill lunch on the outskirts of the town.

After lunch, continue to Uludag Mountain and climb to the summit by bus. Enjoy some free time for winter activities such as skiing, motor skiing, or riding on the chairlift before taking the cable car back down the mountain for panoramic views.

Next, head to the Green Social Complex, where you'll find the stunning Green Mosque and the Green Mausoleum. These impressive sights are near the Old Silk Market, where you can find typical Turkish products such as Turkish delight, honey, and jam to buy and try.

Return to Istanbul by bus in the evening and get dropped off back at your hotel.
