Overview
In Bursa, history does not stand behind museum glass. It grows from the roots of a 600-year-old tree, drifts through the silk markets, rises with the cable car above the forests of Uludağ, and lingers in the shadow of Ottoman domes. A day that feels far longer than the distance from Istanbul.
