Amazing but needs better management.

Great place to visit as it's the original Blue mosque and older than the one in Turkey unfortunately most of the blue ceramic tiles has been stolen and transferred to the blue mosque in Istanbul

Beautiful mosque, but the guard won't be very friendly if you don't pay him well.

Nicely maintained. The caretaker was tending to the lovely trees in the courtyard and also had obviously just finished vacuuming when I arrived. Some of the reviews say " nothing special ". Certainly it is modestly sized and you can walk around and see everything in five minutes, but if you can sit quietly and enjoy the breeze and the birds twittering in the trees with a busy city just outside the walls.......

One of the most welcoming places in Turkey and especially in Bourse allows worshipers to casually pray where they want when they want in a mixed company. it's located at the heart of Turkey and surrounded by historical places The ablution fountain inside the mosque sparkles under the bright light of the central dome. The massive calligraphy printed on walls is rare, impressive, and inspiring. Photographers are welcome to take pictures. Bursa must-see. it's located near Aya Sophia and the place is full of people and you can feel the prayers once you are praying there

Great architecture and historical mosque but it is hard to reach. Must take Tok Tok (cycle-rickshaw)

Old mosque with iconic blue tiles adorning several inner walls. Has a nice courtyard with green plants and trees. Looks especially beautiful with the afternoon's orange light. Unofficial payment to some caretaker or imam to see the mausoleum (your mileage may vary).
