The Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami), the Green Mosque (Yeşil Cami), and the Green Tomb (Yeşil Türbe) are must-visit historical sites. Uludag National Park offers stunning natural beauty and is a popular destination for skiing in winter.

The best time to visit Bursa depends on your interests. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer pleasant weather for sightseeing.
