Bursa Metropolitan Municipality has taken another important step towards ensuring equal access to historical and cultural riches for all citizens in the city with the “Barrier-Free Tourism” project. Thanks to this meaningful project, individuals with special needs have the opportunity to closely explore the unique natural beauties and historical texture of Bursa with their families.
Comprehensive Barrier-Free Tourism Event from the Metropolitan Municipality
Bursa Metropolitan Municipality took citizens with special needs and their families on a pleasant tour accompanied by experienced tour guides. As part of this special event, participants first visited the Osmangazi Panorama 1326 Conquest Museum, which offers a panoramic narrative of the conquest of Bursa. The interactive and visual richness of the museum allowed individuals with special needs to experience history more closely and interactively.
The next stop of the tour was Tophane, one of the historical symbols of Bursa. Here, participants learned about the historical and cultural heritage of the city and were amazed by the unique Bursa view. In the last part of the day, Mudanya, the pearl of Bursa's coastline, was visited. Mudanya's historical texture, sea and unique atmosphere offered the opportunity to collect peaceful and enjoyable memories for individuals with special needs and their families.
