I’d love to know what the large inscriptions mean and understand more about the stories and symbolism behind the beautiful designs.

And of course, I’m already looking forward to exploring the local bazaars. I love bringing home little finds that feel unique to the place, so I’m hoping Bursa has a few treasures waiting for me.

Visiting somewhere with so much history can be so interesting and I find that walking around exploring can be half the fun!!! It sounds like you chose a great place to visit.

First Ottoman capital, and it still feels lived-in.
