Coffee Safari in Bursa
Explore the coffee culture of Bursa on a delightful walking tour that combines great blends with engaging conversation.
- Begin your date by meeting at Tophane, where you can enjoy the panoramic views of Bursa and a gentle breeze. With the weather being warm and the skies clear, it's a perfect start.
- Walk down to the bustling streets towards the first cafรฉ, known for its traditional Turkish coffee. Order a doppio each, and discuss how coffee plays a vital role in Turkish culture.
- Continue your walk to a nearby artisan cafรฉ, famous for its unique blends. Choose a quiet table, try a light roast, and engage in conversations about your favorite books and movies.
Preparation steps:
- Check the opening hours of the cafรฉs you plan to visit to ensure they are open on a Wednesday. Have a list of at least three cafรฉs in case one is too crowded.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as there will be a fair amount of walking involved. Since it's September and still fairly warm, light clothing would be suitable.
- Carry a small backpack with water bottles to stay hydrated and a notebook to jot down any interesting finds or thoughts during your coffee conversations.
