How to go from ISTANBUL to BURSA - CHEAPEST & QUICKEST WAY! // TAKSIM SQUARE to BURSA OSMANGAZI

How to go from ISTANBUL to BURSA - CHEAPEST & QUICKEST WAY! TAKSIM SQUARE to BURSA OSMANGAZI
In this video, I show you how you can easily travel from Istanbul to Bursa in the cheapest and quickest way! We start our journey from Taksim Square in Istanbul and use the metro and tram service to reach the Bursa BUDO ferry port in Eminonu, then after taking the BUDO ferry to Bursa, we show how you can reach the Bursa Metro and travel to Osmangazi or anywhere within this fabulous city. You can easily do a day trip from Istanbul to Bursa using public transport in Turkey. The entire trip one-way can be done in under 60 Turkish lira, which is incredibly affordable, comfortable and quick too. The ferry tickets from Istanbul to Bursa cost just 39 Turkish Lira (TL). The Istanbul Metro tickets cost 6 TL and the Bursa Metro ticket was the same.
If you have questions such as: How do I travel from Istanbul to Bursa without a car? Then look no further. We have previously used a coach to travel from Istanbul to Bursa which was a good experience too, however, we prefer the ferry as it is much quicker, cheaper, super comfortable and you get incredible views of the Bosphorus. The Bursa ferry has a small cafe where you can buy tea, coffee, juices, toasted sandwiches, and many other refreshments. There is also sufficient leg space, as well as toilets and no traffic delays (as opposed to traveling by coach or car). Hence, traveling to Bursa using the ferry is the number one choice for us.
We show you how to get to Osmangazi, which is the historical city in Bursa, however, you can also go to many other amazing places within Bursa including the Uludağ mountain where you can go up via the teleferik (cable car). You can watch my video where I went on the Uludag teleferik over here: • AMAZING ULUDAG TELEFER... and another video where I went Skiing in Uludağ over here: • ULUDAG MOUNTAIN BURSA ...

Dear Imran, I'm from Malaysia & so happy to finally find the best video ever made on Istanbul & Bursa. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@imran.travel]

Thank you

[@ashirpaler]

Istambul card can use in bursa metro also??

[@aims5312]

Thanks Imran for the tips to Bursa. Just came from there. Some things have changed like: 1. Price of ferry from Eminonu to Mudanya via Budo ferry is now 155tl each way. 2. Note that the 1M Bus at Mudanya may charge you on the way to Emek. 3. To get to the main area we were told to get off at Sehrekustu Station and not at Osmangazi station. Btw you need to buy a metro card at Emek which will cost 50tl and then you have to top up separately.

[@imran.travel]

Thank you for sharing this information here and perhaps those reading will benefit from your recent experience. InshaAllah I will be making a new updated video on this when I go to Istanbul soon and I will try including the things you mention here 🌟🌟

I traveled to Bursa from Istanbul by bus around the same dates. Actually bus is good - I took a front seat and enjoyed panoramic view all way along, it was much better than the one from the ferry window which was same waterscape except when coming to Istanbul but you can enjoy those using regular ferries. I especially loved riding through Yavuz Selim bridge and Osman Gazi bridge, those are monumental buildings and the view is amazing! Bus price was very close to the ferrys' I don't remember which one was more expensive but I think it's a negligible amount.

Aslm , Imran. What would your suggestion be if I wanted to travel straight from Istanbul airport to Bursa. Would it be too tiresome after a long haul flight?

[@imran.travel]

Walaikum Salam. I think it’s not a bad idea to go to Bursa straight from the airport as it may take more than an hour extra to reach rather than going to Istanbul. However you can go Istanbul and then travel via ferry the next day. Depends on your preference InshaAllah

Hi. Well guided video . Few questions with regards to the trip to bursa . I noticed you took flight of steps to the tram. 1. Wonder is there escalator since it’s inconvenient with luggage. 2. May I know the name of the dock in bursa the ferry stops? 3. Do I need to get the ferry ticket in advance ? 4. Which area should I book my hotel to be easily accessible using public transport to most places of interest ? Thank you

[@imran.travel]

Thank you! 1) There usually are escalators and/or lifts in most stations, but I can't remember for sure. 2) The Bursa ferry just has one stop, it will only stop at Bursa. 3) You can get the tickets in advance if you wish, but we got ours on the day (just allow yourself enough time to purchase the tickets before boarding). 4) I recommend booking hotel in the Osman Gazi area since all of the tourist attractions are easily accessible from there. Hope that helps.

You arrive at Bursa. Is the bus for free, or do I have to pay for a ticket. In the metro how do i pay for ticket. I suppose I cannot use the Istanbul card, do I have tot buy a kind of Bursacard.

[@imran.travel]

Yes the bus from Bursa port was for Free and this took us to Emek Metro station directly and this is where you can buy the Bursa Cart from (we already had this from our previous trip) for around 10 Turkish Liras. And it cost between 3-4 Turkish Liras each time you use the Metro. For us, it cost 4 Turkish Liras to get to the Osman Gazi area, which was really cheap
