Bandung : Shop til you drop!

Bandung is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, the country's third largest city, and second largest metropolitan area in Indonesia. Bandung has cooler temperatures year-round than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defence system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.

Interesting places must be visited in Bandung:


Tangkuban Perahu
For those who love nature, this place is a must! It is visible from anywhere in Bandung, and takes an hour drive to get up there. Tangkuban Perahu Crater is where you can see and experience one of the biggest craters in Indonesia. The air and scenery are just cool and refreshing.











Pasar Baru
Pasar Baru is a 7 storey market that sells products ranging from textile, garments, shoes, souvenirs, food and drinks, ladies wear, beddings, batik crafts and clothes, Muslim’s clothing, handbags, hijab, and much much more. You must bargain so you’ll get the price that you want. For those who love shopping, Pasar Baru is a place that you shouldn’t miss.


Trans Studio
Trans Studio Bandung is the biggest theme park that is owned by Trans Corp and it is one of the largest indoor theme parks in the world. The rides and attractions are fun! This is a “should go” place! Don’t forget to come with your friends or families, it would be so much merrier if you come in a group rather than you alone.


Cihampelas Street
In Bandung, you can see a lot of factory outlets along Jalan Riau or Jalan Dago and not to forget Jalan Cihampelas (Cihampelas Street). Along Jalan Cihampelas, one can see a lot of shop selling textile products. The shops are very creative in their own special way to attract customers. There is also a big shopping mall at the right hand side of the road which is the Cihampelas Walk; a very large, colourful shopping mall where you can enjoy the shopping if the rain decides to pay you a visit.
