Kestane şekeri is Bursa’s signature sweet; buy boxed in the bazaar or sweet shops, and taste first.
Towels and textiles
Bursa’s textile tradition lives on in towels, bathrobes and fabrics sold across the bazaar.
Karagöz puppets
Painted leather shadow puppets make a light, local souvenir for children.
Ask who made a piece and where. Check materials and shipping. Bargain politely only where invited; respect fixed prices in boutiques and artisan shops. In the bazaar, gentle bargaining is normal for larger purchases; food shops and chains keep fixed prices.
