The main subject of this article is the Rumelia trip of Mahmud II, who radically changed many things, from the classical state order to the military order, from the dress code to the traditionalist approach, with the series of reforms he put into effect at a time when the Ottoman Empire was in turmoil due to internal and external developments. During the Rumelia trip, which was the last and longest of the sultan's five domestic trips, military reforms, newly built buildings and fortifications were inspected. In particular, the people of Rumelia, who were seriously injured both materially and morally during the 1828-1829 Russian war, were contacted and helped, and a message was tried to be given to the whole empire and the world by describing this trip in Takvim-i Vekayi and carrying out diplomatic activities during the trip. The trip is presented as if it was made for the purpose of inspection and distribution of grants, but in fact, the background lies in the reformist personality of Mahmud II and his desire to use this trip in the political conjuncture. The aim of this study is to evaluate the variables behind the travel and to reveal the travel in all its aspects.
