Abdal Bridge
The Abdal Bridge is a stone arch bridge built in 1669 that spans the Nilüfer River in central Bursa. Because it is closed to vehicle traffic, it serves as a pedestrian crossing and a landmark for those interested in Ottoman-era masonry and river views.

The bridge is located within the central district of Bursa. Depending on your starting point in the city centre, you can reach it via local public transport or taxi. The journey typically takes between 10 to 20 minutes from the main commercial hubs.
Visit Duration
