Bursa, a city steeped in history and culture, is located in the Marmara region of Turkey. It experiences a diverse climate with distinct seasons, each offering a unique charm for visitors. Spring (April to June) is widely considered one of the best times to visit Bursa, thanks to its mild weather and the blossoming of flowers, which makes the city's parks and gardens exceptionally beautiful. The temperatures average between 12°C to 26°C, allowing for pleasant sightseeing and exploration of the city's historical sites, such as the Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami) and the Green Mosque (Yeşil Cami).
For winter sports enthusiasts, winter (December to February) presents an ideal time to visit. Mount Uludağ, a short drive from Bursa, is one of Turkey's most popular ski resorts, offering a range of slopes for skiing and snowboarding. The wintertime not only caters to those looking for active pursuits but also provides visitors with the chance to experience Bursa's famous thermal spas amidst a snowy landscape. However, it is important to note that temperatures during winter can be quite cold, often falling below freezing, so packing warm and appropriate clothing is essential.
