One of my absolute favorite things about Bursa is the shopping scene—it’s an experience that anyone visiting the city should dive into wholeheartedly. Whether you’re into the hustle and bustle of bazaars, intrigued by the charm of historical inns, or just looking for a modern shopping mall, Bursa has it all. Trust me, as someone who’s wandered these streets often, it’s truly a shopper’s paradise!

Shopping in Bursa Bazaars

1. Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı)

The Grand Bazaar is where you feel Bursa’s Ottoman heart. Located just near the iconic Ulu Mosque, this bazaar is a historical treasure. When I first visited, I caught myself marveling at the preserved heritage while hopping from one jewelry store to the next. It’s a perfect place for gold shopping or just soaking in the atmosphere of a by-gone era. Note that it’s open from 08:30 to 19:00 and closed on Sundays.

Address: Nalbantoğlu Mahallesi, Grand Bazaar, 16010, Osmangazi/BURSA

2. Uzun Bazaar

Once you exit the Grand Bazaar, you’ll find yourself at Uzun Bazaar, which has a history reaching back centuries. It’s said that in Evliya Çelebi’s writings, this place once had 9,000 shops! Nowadays, it’s famed for textiles and ready-to-wear clothing. I’ve snagged some beautiful scarves and fabrics here during my visits.

3. Bedesten Bazaar

As the name suggests, Bedesten is a haven for jewelry shoppers. During the Ottoman times, it was a marketplace for precious goods, and it still carries that legacy. With 57 stores, you’ll find sparkling treasures at every corner. Being so close to Ulu Mosque adds a unique charm to your shopping spree.

4. Havlucular Bazaar (Ulu Çarşı)

If you’re a fan of Bursa’s famous towels (and who wouldn’t be?), this is the place to be. The vibe here is amazing—a mix of history and practicality, and with 120 shops, you’ll have plenty of choices to take home a piece of Bursa’s cotton heritage.

Address:  Hacı İlyas Mahallesi, 16220, Osmangazi/BURSA

5. Çancılar Bazaar

This one has a quirky backstory—it was originally named after bell-making shops for animals’ neck bells. These days, the bazaar of 300 stores offers everyday goods, chandeliers, and wooden knick-knacks. Perfect for unique souvenirs!

Address: Alacamescit Mahallesi, Çancılar Caddesi, Osmangazi/BURSA

Shopping in Bursa Inns

1. Koza Han

Koza Han is pure magic. Just stepping into the courtyard transports you back in time. I’ve enjoyed countless cups of Turkish tea under its ancient trees while admiring its silk shops. Silk shopping here is divine—grab a scarf or two!

Address: Osmangazi District, Uzunçarşı Street, 16010 Osmangazi/Bursa

2. Eski İpek Han

This historic silk-trading inn is a true gem. Close to Ulu Mosque, it’s a quieter spot to discover exquisite textiles, tailor shops, and ready-to-wear treasures. I always find it peaceful to come here compared to the larger bazaars.

Address: Şehreküstü Mahallesi, Ulucami Caddesi, No:77, 16050 Osmangazi/BURSA

3. Fidan Han

Across from Koza Han, Fidan Han has a more lively vibe. I sometimes stop here for a coffee after browsing its ready-to-wear collections. Did you know it was once a hay market? It’s hard to imagine now with all the modern charm!

Address: Nalbantoğlu Mahallesi, Uzunçarşı Street, No:52, 16010 Osmangazi/BURSA

4. Emir Han

History buffs, rejoice! Built post-conquest by Orhan Gazi, this is considered the first Ottoman inn. I loved exploring its 73 rooms filled with textiles and souvenirs. And its proximity to Ulu Mosque makes it a must-see stop.

Address: Nalbantoğlu Mahallesi, Uzunçarşı Street, No:11, 16010 Osmangazi/BURSA

Shopping in Bursa Modern Malls

1. Korupark AVM

As Bursa’s largest shopping mall, Korupark has it all—from global brands to local favorites. I frequent this place for a day of shopping and catch movies on their top floor. Plus, the nearby transportation hub makes it super convenient.

Address: Emek Adnan Menderes District, Mudanya Road 9 Km, 16180 Osmangazi/BURSA

2. Kent Meydanı AVM

One of my absolute favorite malls, partly for its architectural charm and central location. This place even has an ice rink now—such fun, especially in winter! Be sure to check out the amphitheater for events.

Address: Santral Garaj Mahallesi, Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi, No:64, 16200 Osmangazi/BURSA

3. Zafer Plaza

Located in the city center, Zafer Plaza surprises people with its giant underground structure. From trendy cafes to cinemas and more, it’s a complete package. Don’t miss a stop here—it’s an iconic Bursa spot for locals and expats alike.

Address: Şehreküstü District, Cemal Nadir Street, 22-28, 16050 Osmangazi/BURSA

Bursa combines its rich cultural heritage with modern conveniences. Whether I’m browsing silks in Koza Han or catching a movie at Korupark, the city offers something for every mood and shopping style. What are you waiting for? Come explore these treasures yourself!
