Hotels in Bursa Province, Turkey
Bursa Province sits in northwestern Turkey, just across the Sea of Marmara from Istanbul, with a climate that brings snowy winters (lows around 30°F/-1°C) and hot, sunny summers (highs near 86°F/30°C). It's famous as the first capital of the Ottoman Empire and for Mount Uludağ, a massive ski resort with 20+ runs and a 2,543-meter peak - in winter, you can ski or snowboard, while summer turns the mountain into a hiking and camping spot with panoramic views over Bursa. Down in the city, you'll find the 14th-century Ulu Camii mosque with its 20 domes, the Green Tomb's turquoise tiles, and thermal baths in Çekirge neighborhood that hit 104°F/40°C year-round, perfect for soaking after a day on the slopes or exploring Ottoman bazaars.
