Quick answer
Two days is the ideal length to see Edirne without rushing. Devote day one to the historic centre's mosques and bazaar; on day two explore the Karaağaç district and the Meriç and Tunca bridges for the city's quieter side.
Day 1: Historic Centre
Start the morning with Selimiye Mosque, then visit the Eski Cami and the Üç Şerefeli Mosque. Have tava ciğeri for lunch, then shop for souvenirs in the Ali Paşa Bazaar.
Spend the early evening around the Meriç Bridge; the riverside is perfect for a peaceful walk at sunset. Stay the night in the centre or in Karaağaç.
Day 2: Karaağaç and the Riverside
Begin day two in the Karaağaç district. Reached by crossing the Meriç Bridge, this area offers a restful morning with its old station building, historic mansions and green spaces.
In the afternoon, explore the historic bridges along the Tunca and the surrounding parks. If time remains, lose yourself in the side streets with their smaller monuments; it is the best way to feel Edirne's everyday fabric.
