1. Start the Day with a Cable Car Tour!
Do you want to see Bursa from a bird’s eye view before wandering through the streets of the city? You can take a cable car through the lush forests of Bursa and fill your lungs with plenty of fresh air to give you an energetic start to your day. You will witness breath-taking views during the Bursa cable car ride. You can take the cable car alone or join a tour with friends. We would like to point out that the cable car can increase your adrenaline when ascending. If adrenaline is not for you, you should not go on the cable car alone, but with a friend or loved one.
Being outdoors after the cable car tour can make you hungry. If it is a warm day, you can choose a spot to have a picnic in the beautiful surrounding nature. Of course, you must be prepared for this in advance. If you have not packed a picnic, you can try local dishes at the restaurants and cafes in the area. One recommendation you should try is tahinli pide which is pita with tahini. It has a unique taste and consistency and it is a very enjoyable and satisfying choice for breakfast!
