Arkeopark | The Best of Bursa

A couple things to note: most Bursa museums are still developing their English translations. While you might not be able to understand every historical detail, the exhibits are still worthwhile. Also, due to pandemic precaution measures, only 3 of Bursa’s museums are open for in-person tours: Bursa Kent Müzesi (Bursa City Museum), Muradiye Kuran ve El Yazmaları Müzesi (Muradiye Quran and Manuscript Museum), and Arkeopark. Please check with the museum staff before planning a trip.
