Bursa, the first Ottoman capital at the foot of Mount Uludağ in northwestern Turkey, has one of the longest continuous thermal bathing traditions of any city in the world, with its bicarbonate-rich hot springs exploited since at least Byzantine times and celebrated throughout the Ottoman Empire as a supreme hydrotherapeutic destination. The city's thermal legacy lives on in historic hans (thermal inns) such as the Kervansaray and in the Çekirge district, where grand Ottoman-era bathing establishments blend imperial architectural heritage with therapeutic spring water. Bursa's status as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its Ottoman monuments, silk bazaars, and mountain backdrop makes it one of Turkey's most culturally rich thermal destinations.
