Bandung, in the highlands of West Java, is known for its cool climate, its creative young population and its Art Deco buildings from the Dutch colonial era, which earned it the nickname 'Paris of Java'. Volcanoes, hot springs and tea plantations surround the city.
The city
Braga Street is lined with colonial-era buildings, cafés and art galleries. Gedung Sate, the provincial government building, is famous for the satay-shaped ornament on its roof. The Asia Africa Street hosted the historic Asian-African Conference of 1955, and its museum tells the story.
Around Bandung
Tangkuban Perahu, a volcano with a crater you can walk around, is north of the city. To the south, the Kawah Putih crater lake is a striking turquoise-white color, surrounded by tea plantations. Bandung is also famous for its factory outlet stores and culinary scene.
