things to do in Bandung

If you love nature, the countryside, and the great outdoors, Bandung offers the perfect escape as you head towards Lembang for a quick city break. Bandung outdoor activities are a plenty and you will be spoilt for choice and running short on time if this is your cuppa.

Hiking is surely one of the top things to do on your Bandung trip if you want to enjoy surreal views, fresh air and loads of nature. Depending on how much time you have there are several excellent hiking spots in Bandung to try.

Hike to Sunset Point of Tebing Keraton

The melting sun set - Clicked from Tebing Keraton

One of the best places to visit in Bandung for hiking is undoubtedly the sunset sunrise point – Tebing Keraton ( aka Keraton Cliff ). While I was living in Bandung, almost 5 years ago, this little gem of a place suddenly popped out of nowhere as a social media hotspot. Suddenly, all youngsters were posting about the epic sunsets at Tebing Keraton. Obviously, I had to go see what the hype was all about.

hiking bandung

It’s a short 25 min hike from the parking lot and you can climb down to any of the cliff’s offering “on the edge” views of the Dago forest below. Remember there are no ropes, harnesses or any sort of security personnel on the spot – so be careful while you hedge out for those Instagrammable shots.

Gawk at the Crater of Tangkuban Perahu

This stunning active volcano is pretty much on everyone’s Bandung bucket list and one of the prime Bandung attractions. Located just 30 kms from the North towards Lembang, it’s the perfect day trip from Bandung or even a picnic spot to enjoy with family or friends.

hiking tangkuban perahu

I went there several times to gawk at the smoky crater and enjoy amazing weather up in the mountains. You can even choose to hike Tangkuban Perahu volcano – I have heard it is arduous and honestly never tried it myself. The 2-hour hike does reward you with a refreshing hot water spring but a lot of sulfur fumes as well.

Tangkuban perahu crater

No matter what is your reason for visiting Tangkuban perahu, it is surely one of the top things to do in Bandung for all age groups.

Photograph the stunning Kawah Putih

Located in Ciwidey , around 50 kms from Bandung, Kawah Putih or the white crater lake is one of the most popular places to visit in Bandung and surely one of the top things to do in Ciwidey . It is an excellent weekend getaway from Bandung but can just as easily be covered in a day trip.

kawah putih ciwidey bandung

Let me warn you that the pungent smell of sulfur can be overpowering here but the breathtaking views more the make up for this slight discomfort. Barren branches of trees with an epic bay like white lake backdrop oozing of fumes can be mystical and magical to look at.

kawah putih pictures

Just for the mind-blowing views, it is one of the best places to photograph in Bandung and should make it to your Bandung itinerary. So if you have a free weekend and are wondering what to see in Bandung, this stunning crater lake should be on top of your list.

Enjoy Mountain Views at Gunung Batu

Another adobe for nature lovers is this lovely hiking spot in Lembang, North of Bandung. Gunung batu is a sure shot way to get your dose of great outdoors and fall in love with the city of Bandung.

This was my very first hike in Bandung with some local couchsurfers. So it was my first introduction to the culture and the real beauty of this hill town…and exactly how I fell in love with Bandung and decided to stay for 11 months (instead of my original plan of 2 months).

gunung batu hike

The hike starts from just above Dulang cafe in Lembang (which is a great starting and ending point). It is short but tricky when you get to the end and climb the big hill. I needed a little bit of hand holding in some parts and once you are at the top, the views are simply surreal.

hiking gunung batu

I noticed a group were camping there, perhaps to get the spectacular sunrise and vouched to go back for that since we missed the rising sun by well over an hour. It was still the best introduction I could get to Bandung and the hiking routes available there. Indonesian people are also extremely kind, friendly and helpful – I never felt like an outsider with a totally new group and met the lovely Bandung couchsurfing group several times after.

Take a dip in Infinity Pool at Dulang Cafe

Dulang cafe turned out to be one of my favorite hangouts in Bandung – especially for a relaxing day out.

The cafe boasts of an amazing infinity pool, overlooking green valley views.

dulang resort bandung

I was sold from the first time I lay my eyes and took a dip in its refreshing waters. A day out at Dulang is highly recommended and you can enjoy cocktails by the pool and a hearty meal after your dip as well.

Taking a dip is free for all customers of cafe and surprisingly, it is almost never crowded. Only a couple of times, I found 2 or max 3 other people in the pool (Apart from our gang) and if you wait, you can almost always have the entire pool to yourself.

dulang cafe bandung

Surely one of the best things to do in Bandung to enjoy scenic views and completely recharge your batteries.

Walk around Juanda Forest Park in Dago

The Juanda forest park in Dago pakar consists of long winding green paths, caves and heck even waterfalls. Enter from gate no 1 and walk all the way 4 kms upto gate no 4 for a lovely day out.

hiking dago pakar

I lived in Dago for over 6 months and when I discovered this walk I was amazed. Imagine living right next door to waterfalls and amazing greenery? You can see tell why I love Bandung so much!

Soak in a Hot Spring

From Ciwidey to Lembang, Bandung is a mecca for hot spring lovers . You can choose to stay in the resort to indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments which end by taking a dip in natural hot springs; or simply buy a one time visit pass for $3.5 – $5 (depending on day of the week and the hot spring you choose).

I have always taken a pass and usually visited with friends in late evenings to enjoy a warm dip in the cool weather of Bandung. You will come out with soft and supple skin and feel all tensions evaporate in the smoky waters.

If you are bored on a Sunday and wondering what to do in Bandung, seek out these nature spots for instant serenity.

Things to Do in Bandung Indonesia as per Other Avid Travellers

After picking my top attractions of Bandung, I decided to ask a few other fellow travelers about their Bandung hot spots and this is what we came up with –

Check out Ancient Stones at The Stone Garden

Picked by Marya Sutimi of The BeauTraveler

the stone garden bandung

If you’ve heard about some ancient tourist destinations like Machu Picchu, Cappadocia, or even Stonehenge, it will surprise you to know that Bandung has its own site that used to be the ancient seamount thousand years ago: The Stone Garden GeoPark.

As the name implied, Stone Garden Geopark is the ancient seamount that has many formations of ancient stones, formed randomly on the hill, and has been around for over 27 million years. It has supported the fact as some geologists have discovered fossils of ancient coral in Pawon Cave, known as Gua Pawon by the locals.

Since the 19th century, this place was a mining area that wasn’t a public attraction until 2014 when the local government finally opened it for the public as a Geopark and a protected cultural preserve. Once you set your foot here, the karst topography in the area gives us a unique experience and the scenery of the ancient rock mountain would make a great addition on your Instagram feed.

This is the place you could use for a short escape to just sit there and relax. With affordable entry tickets, magnificent views, and historical background, Stone Garden is a hidden gem attraction that should be included in your must-visit list in Bandung.

Learn how Kopi Luwak is Made

Picked by Arrianne Guzman of Travel Habeat

kopi luwak bandung

Even just a day trip in Bandung can offer you a number of interesting things to do like exploring a kopi luwak factory . The coffee lover in me will not miss such kind of experience. You will not only get to taste the world’s most expensive coffee, but you can witness for yourself the coffee making process, that is, from bean to cup.

Several kopi luwak production sites are available in the area like Sawarga Kopi Luwak. If you’re lucky, you can see freshly gathered beans as they were picked from the forest. Take note that these beans came from luwaks eating only the flesh of berries and expelling the beans as feces.

As you tour around, you’ll discover how the beans are dried, sorted, and roasted. From roasting, you will smell that lingering coffee fragrance as the beans are ground next. The last step will be packaging and you can also grab one as prices in factories themselves are cheaper. Aside from savoring a cup of kopi luwak, learning behind the scenes of its production will surely be a fun experience.  

Gawk at Incredible Fossils at the Geological Museum

Picked by Mark Wyld of WyldFamilyTravel

bandung geological museum

Any visit to the Bandung must include a visit to the Geological Museum. The museum is one of the best things to do in Bandung if you have an interest in dinosaurs. As you walk into this amazing Bandung attraction, you are greeted by a giant 4 meters high Mammoth skeleton that lived 165,000 years ago. This giant fossil dominates the entry hall. The mammoth is 85% original fossils with 15% having been molded to make this giant mammoth complete. After this amazing introduction, you have three collections to explore.

geological museum in bandung

Geology of Indonesia, History of Life, Geological Resources, Benefits and Disasters. The museum has a large collection of rocks and minerals and even meteorites that have crashed in Indonesia. The star of the show is a section of an 11.5kg meteorite that fell in Java. You will learn about the minerals found in Indonesia with examples of crystals, coal, iron ore, and more.

The collection of fossils in the history of the life gallery is amazing with more skeletons and a special exhibition that changes over time. The museum is housed in a large 2 story building. The museum was only a few dollars to get into and one of the highlights of any trip to Bandung.

Fun Things to Do in Bandung at Night

Bandung might seem like a small hill town, but trust me, with its growing expat community and thirsty party loving locals, it is an epic destination for night owls. The only issue is the clubbing scene is very underground and you need to know which days to go where or you would end up club hopping without any concrete action plans.

Due to lack of information on Bandung nightlife, I wrote this complete guide to underground drinking holes of Bandung here . Below is a synopsis of what to do in Bandung at night for party lovers like yours truly.

Chill out At Tambuhak Food & Beverage Garden

tambuhak bandung

Tambuhak is the newest coolest chill spot in Bandung for youngsters. Geared with food stalls and beer garden, Tambuhak has been the hot new favorite of all the cool kids on the block. Frank’s tacos are to die for and the burgers are mouthwatering. I would give it full marks for its warm outdoor decor and recommend it as an excellent “pre-party” spot.

Enjoy Live Music in Braga street

Braga street has a reputation as being the go to spot for picking up girls in Bandung. While that is true to a great extent, for a solo female traveler such as myself, it turned out to be a fun and happening party street.

braga street bandung

With daily live music spread across tons of bars lining both sides of the street, funky street art, cheap beer bars, pool tables and heck even a fancy rooftop pub – Jalan Braga has just about everything a new party goer in Bandung would seek.

Braga is an immersive experience as you get low down and party and sing along with locals. Though disliked by some expats, Braga street is a real gem to understand how to party like a local in Bandung.

Sing your Hearts out at one of the Many Karaoke Bars

Going to a Karaoke club is totally a thing in Bandung. Usually they are sought after by rich Indo-Chinese men for picking up local Indonesian chicks, however, these clubs are excellent for partying with a cool group of friends.

You can book a private room with aircon, get snacks and alcohol served to you and make a mad night out of it. My Karaoke nights in Bandung always started off slow and ended in some after party club.

Indulge in Bandung Nightlife

things to do in bandung indonesia

Bandung has an array of night clubs since this city gets hoards of visitors from its rich neighbour – Jakarta every weekend. For people living in Jakarta, Bandung is just 2 hour drive away and the perfect weekend getaway to be away from big city chaos and enjoy some amazing mountain air.

For Indonesian men, Bandung is considered a great pick up city as the local women are said to be the prettiest in Indonesia – I cannot testify but in general Indonesian women really maintain themselves and know how to look pretty. Some popular night clubs are – Shelter, Mox, Southbank, Sobbers, Maja house, and Amnesia , with new ones popping up each year – Backyard being the newest of the lot.

Soak in the Thriving Bar and Pub Culture of Bandung

Bar and pub culture in Bandung is surprisingly pretty good. Once I discovered the expat community one fine day over $1 beers in Pizza e bira , it was a life changer for my party game. I was introduced to a whole new world of pre party and after party bars and chilled out underground drinking holes.

Places like Nomad’s bar (perched on a hill, inside a huge lovely house – where I ended up living for 6 months) or OJ’s (Again inside a house with entrance from the garage) – are all unique and super secret.

nomads bar bandung

You will literally only get to go with a local or someone who knows the place/ owner. I love such secret spots so Bandung nightlife started to amaze me as I spent more and more time in the city. Halfway and Bamboo shack were other favorites of mine. Bamboo shack for the free pool table as you can easily spend a few hours downing balls and gulping beers with your gang.

What to Do in Bandung – Other cool things to Try!

Enjoy Strawberry Picking

Strawberry picking in Lembang is one of the best things to do in Bandung with family.

strawberry lembang

If you are heading to Lembang, you can combine this activity with others like visiting Kopi luwak plantation, Tangkuban perahu or even the floating market. En-route to any of these Bandung attractions, you will spot several strawberry farms where you can choose and pick your own fresh berries.

Dine at Fancy Restaurants without  Breaking the Bank

Congo is one of my favorite restaurants in Bandung – which is saying a lot since the city perhaps has thousands of amazing eateries.

Situated in the upscale Dago pakar area of North Bandung, this jungle themed restaurant is huge and boasts of killer city views, without a big dent in your pocket. It is classy so dress accordingly. It was my ‘go to place’ for any friends who would visit me while I was living in Bandung. Upscale, posh and would perhaps just set you back $40 per person, including alcohol – for a place like that, we would easily end up paying double or more in Delhi or even let’s say Jakarta or Bali.

There are many similar restaurants which ooze of style and class whilst maintaining high hygiene standards and yet easy on the pocket. Rumah Payung is another such cool spot.

rumah payung bandung

Midnight visit to the Spooky Japanese Cave at Dago

Nestled in the forest park of Dago is the infamous Dutch cave known to hold Indonesian prisoners and also used as a torture cell. There are several stories going around of supernatural beings, possessions and ghosts in the cave.

Even though the park closes at 5 pm, since you are able to camp overnight they allow entrance with a guide anytime of the day (or night). I visited the caves twice at night with my friends (And a guide ofcourse) and every time I could feel goosebumps.

Once I even saw a TV crew with the spokes lady claiming to be possessed by a ghost – right in front of us!!!

To be honest, I am not sure how true the stories of the haunted Dutch cave of Dago are but it surely gives a thrill if you are brave enough to venture out at night. Though as per this forum post , most ghost sightings happen during the day.

Outlet Shopping

Bandung is known for cheap outlet shopping all over Indonesia. Locals from Jakarta and neighbouring cities come to Bandung for the various factory outlets of big international brands in Setiabudi and other areas. I am not much of a shopaholic so cannot comment on the prices but I have heard the branded clothes and shoes are super cost effective and infact exported throughout the country (and beyond) from here.

Visit the Lovely Lembang Floating Market

Lembang floating market was actually never on my list of places to visit in Bandung. However, when my parents were visiting me, I decided to find some family friendly attractions in Bandung; and the Lembang floating market popped right up. We hired a cab and went there to be pleasantly surprised.

Floating market Lembang Bandung

Lots of open spaces, colourful stores, delicious cuisines, riverside cafes and ofcourse floating boats with vendors selling fresh produce.

Enjoy Cheap and Delicious Street Food

You can be totally spoilt for choice when you start thinking ‘ What to eat in Bandung ‘. That’s because the street food of Bandung is cheap, good and plenty.

Ayam and bebek Betutu

You have so many options to choose from for all sorts of budgets and palates. From spicy to sweet, from fried to roasted – there is something for everyone. My top favorite Bandung dishes were – Martabak, Nasi cunning, Ayam Goreng, Sate, Bubur Ayam, Tofu pedas, Mie goreng, Bebek goreng and so many more. Just thinking about the Bandung food is making me want to go back.

You will soon realise that Indonesians are big time foodies and in a student town like Bandung, eating out is preferred over home cooking. So the city is literally dotted with umpteen restaurants, street food vendors, cafes and home delivery options (via Gojek and other apps).

Watch Ram fighting

Ram fighting could be a yay or nay for most but what I witnessed was a fun event. The proud Ram owners decorated their animals as well as took good care of them.

ram fighting

They took pride in their fleet and showed them off. For locals it is a family fun event with gifts like refrigerators for the winning ram owners. It was done in good taste with the referee making sure the Ram were not hurt.

Shop at Cihampelas Walk

This modern shopping mall is perhaps the most popular mall in Bandung. With a variety of international brands, food court, salons, bars and a fancy modern outlook, it is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

Get a Relaxing Massage

Finding a massage parlour or a spa in Bandung is as easy as it gets. Based on your budget and requirements, you can get a full body massage for as low as $5 or as high as $50. I must have tried over 20 odd places and with a massage parlour on literally every street, your choices are endless. If you are too tired to even head out, fret not just download the ‘Golife app’ and get a professional masseuse right at your doorstep, without breaking the bank. So after trying all the cool activities in Bandung, wind up with a uber relaxing massage.

Try White Koffie

white koffie

I would say try this premixed concoction at your own risk because it is so addictive, I still pack bag fulls of coffee to and from my Indonesian trips. I feel like a coffee smuggler and even have some friends hooked to this lovely mix of coffee, milk power and ground sugar. The closest alternative to this is Nescafe 3-in-1 in India but to be honest, it doesn’t even come close.

Where to stay in Bandung

Bandung has an array of hotels, guest houses and homestays. You can get a simple room for as low as $100 a month – yes, that’s right – those are the shared student accommodations.

However, for tourists, here’s a list of hotels in Bandung I would recommend to try –

Budget Sleeps

Nomads Bar – An after-party bar with rooms on rent was my choice of stay for most of my time in Bandung. To book or for queries, simply email me or comment below. They are not available on any booking engines so I will connect you to the owners directly.

Mitra Dago Antapani – Situated in one of my favorite locations in North Bandung – Dago pakar, this homestay is clean, cozy, highly rated and doesn’t break the bank.

Red Doorz – Red doorz has several budget sleeps across the city in popular areas like Dago, Setiabudi, Cihampelas, etc.

Mid-Range Hotels in Bandung

Luxury Hotels in Bandung

Bandung has an array of luxury sleeps and you can be spoilt for choices. I have visited these hotels and heard good things from my Indonesian friends so if you are looking to splurge, these 3 are your best bets –

Padma Hotel Bandung –  This is one of the best hotels in Bandung, hand’s down. With stunning mountain views, a glass-floored restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, spa, open-air hot tub and several activities for guests; Padma hotel deserves to be one of the most sought after accommodations for luxury travelers to Bandung.

This capital of West Java is a getaway for city dwellers from Jakarta. Bandung offers mist covered landscapes ranging from tea plantations to volcanoes.

Bandung Itinerary: Your Thrilling 2-Day Weekend Getaway Guide to the Paris of Java’s Enchanting Delights

Bandung Itinerary City View Roaming Atlas

Nestled in lush Indonesian landscapes, Bandung captivates, blending beauty, mountains, and heritage. Its verdant surroundings charm with rolling tea plantations and waterfalls, offering an escape. Towering mountains like Tangkuban Perahu allure with misty peaks. Beyond nature, Bandung thrives with diverse cultures, art, and markets. Exploring means immersing in local artistry, cuisine, and the harmonious past-present convergence.

Bandung Itinerary Table of Contents

Brief history of bandung.

Initially inhabited by the indigenous Sundanese people, the area’s fertile land attracted early settlers who established agricultural communities. However, Bandung’s trajectory dramatically shifted during Dutch colonial rule. The European elite transformed the city into a mountain resort, leading to the construction of elegant colonial buildings that still grace the city today.

The city’s strategic location also played a pivotal role during World War II and the Indonesian struggle for independence, marking Bandung as a significant historical site. Post-independence, Bandung transformed into a hub of education and innovation, exemplified by the renowned Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).

Proven Tips for an Exceptional Experience with Your Bandung Itinerary

How to get to bandung from jakarta.

Traveling from Jakarta to Bandung is a breeze, with a journey time of approximately 3 hours. I suggest opting for the Executive tickets, which come at a slightly higher cost of $6.50 compared to the economy. However, considering the total price of $16.33, the enhanced comfort offered in the executive class is undoubtedly worthwhile.

What’s the estimated amount of Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) required for the Bandung Itinerary?

The majority of the locations mentioned do accept credit cards, but please note that street vendors might not. To cover potential expenses, it’s advisable to have at least Rp. 500,000 (~$33.30 USD) in cash. This can be particularly helpful for emergencies, such as unexpected transportation needs when returning from the outskirts to the city, as we experienced.

Transport from the Train Station

Stepping out of the train station can be a bit overwhelming, with numerous drivers offering rides. My suggestion is to politely decline and instead, walk outside the station premises, opting for a Grab ride to save time and hassle.

Is it advisable to acquire an e-SIM card for newer phones?

Getting an e-SIM card is highly recommended, especially if you plan to use services like GRAB and require reliable navigation. For just $4.79, you can obtain a 3-day e-SIM with 500 MB of daily high-speed data and unlimited lower-speed data. Additionally, there are alternative options tailored for extended stays and higher-speed requirements for travelers.

Alternatively, if your travels extend beyond Indonesia, it’s strongly advised to consider the Southeast Asia e-SIM. This option encompasses Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Macau, ensuring connectivity across multiple destinations which start at just $5.79.

Bandung Itinerary Day 1 – City Exploration

Nuart sculpture park.

Cost: Rp. 50,000 (~$3.30 USD)

Borobudur sculpture Bandung NuArt Roaming Atlas

Start your day with a leisurely stroll amidst artistry and captivating sculptures at the sculpture park, where you can explore the works of Nyoman Nuarta. The sculptures are rooted in the Tri Hita Karana philosophy (Balinese), emphasizing the perpetual preservation of harmony with the divine, unity among humanity, and ultimately, harmony with the natural world and environment.

Born in a small Balinese town, Nyoman Nuarta journeyed to Bandung during the early 1970s to pursue fine art studies at Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). Growing up in Tegallinggah village under the guidance of his Kelihan Adat uncle, Nuarta imbibed the significance of harmonious relations between humans, nature, and the Creator, a tenet he portrays in his works following the Trihita Karana philosophy.

Nuart Sculpture Bandung NuArt Roaming Atlas

As part of the Indonesian New Art Movement in 1977, his career commenced, culminating in his triumph at the Proclamator Monument Contest in 1979 and the creation of the statue of Sukarno. With over 200 artworks showcased globally, Nuarta earned acclaim through prestigious awards and monumental pieces like “Arjuna Wijaya,” “Jalesveva Jayamahe,” and “Garuda Wisnu Kencana.”

Gedung Sate

Embark on an exhilarating journey to Gedung Sate in Bandung, West Java, a name that intrigues and delights. Its playful title derives from the satay-like ornaments adorning its pinnacle, offering a taste of Indonesia’s culinary charm. Beyond its governmental role, Gedung Sate beckons adventurers and culture enthusiasts alike.

This architectural marvel was born in 1920 during Dutch colonization. It seamlessly melds east and west in its neoclassical design, earning accolades as Java’s most captivating building.

Museum Gedung Sate

Cost: Rp. 5,000 ($0.33 USD)

Step inside and discover more than history; the innovative smart museum, a recent addition since 2017, infuses tradition with technology. Augmented reality and virtual reality intermingle with exhibits, creating an interactive narrative that fascinates visitors of all ages. Gedung Sate’s story is one of transformation and allure, inviting exploration within the captivating embrace of Bandung’s iconic landmark.

Exploring its museum requires visitors to secure a reservation in advance through its official website, followed by presenting the digital ticket upon arrival at the museum’s entrance.

Gedung Sate Garden

Deeper into the courtyard, discover Gedung Sate’s well-tended garden—a serene retreat offering relaxation to locals. While strolling, admire the architecture and relish the tranquil ambiance. Among visitors, street food vendors amplify festivity with delightful snacks and drinks. Try pineapple juice for tropical refreshment.

Gedung Sate Tower

Fortunately, the tower of Gedung Sate is open to visitors, and you can reach it by climbing the stairs past the museum. Once at the top, you’ll find a quaint café named Coffee Morning with tables on the tower’s veranda. Grab a seat and enjoy a 360° view of Bandung City. Inside the tower, a remarkable detail emerges. An old siren resonates across a 40-km radius, adding an intriguing touch to the atmosphere.

Braga Street

Braga Street is a hotspot, especially after 5 p.m. It exudes colonial charm, dotted with cafes, restaurants, shops, and galleries.

Bandung Itinerary Day 2 – Nature Exploration

On day 2, while Grab is accessible in the city, it’s challenging in the mountains. I strongly suggest renting a car with a driver, especially if you’re not comfortable driving on the right side. It’s cheaper than Grab at $16, inclusive of the driver’s meal (excluding gas, tolls, and parking fees). For under $20, you’ll enjoy convenient travel without concerns about return or further destinations.

Warung Kopi Gunung

Our day kicks off with a delightful breakfast and coffee at an incredible restaurant. With views of trees, tranquil mountain scenes, and an outdoor setting, it’s a perfect spot. The standout is the scrumptious local cuisine and coffee.

Bandung with kids

Bandung is one of the best places in Indonesia for a getaway with kids.  Located around 2.5 hours from Jakarta, Bandung,  boasts so many family attractions, factory outlets, and unique dining options that it would take us over a week to explore them all!  

Save to Pinterest

Although our trip was 4 days 3 nights, we only had 2 full days to explore Bandung.  After much research, we chose family-friendly things to do in Bandung that can be completed in 2 days.  Here are our top 10 picks:

Day 1: Arrival and dinner 

On the day that we arrived, we chilled out at our hotel, Villa Damar , before heading out for dinner.  Villa Damar is a family-friendly hotel with reasonably-priced lofts that have up to 3 king-sized beds! It is located in the city centre and within walking distance to several factory outlets and restaurants.

1.   Have dinner with a view 

Despite our hotel being close to many restaurants, we decided to have our first meal in Bandung up on Dago Hill where we could enjoy a panoramic view of the city.  

There were several restaurants with great views to choose from. We tried Stone Cafe where we enjoyed good steak over a candlelight dinner in a cosy private hut.  Stone Cafe is about 30 minutes from the town centre.  We reached there early so that we could enjoy the sunset and witness the city gradually transforming into a sea of lights. Other popular places to eat in Bandung with a view are The Valley Cafe , Padma Hotel and The Peak .  

      

Bandung

Day 2: Lembang, north of Bandung 

One of the most popular areas to visit in Bandung is Lembang.  We spent our first full day in the Lembang area, which was about a 30-minute drive north of the city centre. 

2. Get up close to an active volcanic crater at Tangkuban Perahu 

Bandung volcanic crater

It is not often that we get to come up close to an active volcano.  At Tangkuban Perahu , you could literally walk along the edge of an active volcanic crater. There were more than one crater spewing out steam and luckily, the biggest one did not require much walking or hiking.  You could also get a panoramic view of the pine forest from Tangkuban Perahu.

3. Enjoy local delicacies at Lembang Floating Market

Bandung

Our next stop was at the Lembang Floating Market where meals were served from small boats, much like the famous floating market in Thailand. The difference is that everything at the Lembang Floating Market was halal.

Bandung

Food could only be purchased using tokens, so you have to buy tokens first before buying your food.

boat Bandung

You could either take a small boat to get to the different food boats, or just stay on land where there are tables and chairs.

Feeding Fish

There were so many local delicacies to try like the Tahu Lembang (toufu that was crispy on the outside and milky soft on the inside), and batagor (a form of dumpling with satay sauce). 

Lembang Bandung

There was also a train of little boats that you could take for a scenic tour of the lake.

4. Visit a Hobbit house at Farmhouse Lembang 

Hobbit house in Bandung

Farmhouse Lembang is the new kid on the block featuring numerous farmhouses from around the world, including a hobbit house inspired by the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.

Farmhouse Lembang dress-up

Many female visitors were seen donning traditional European farmhouse costumes and taking photos in front of the pretty farmhouses.  My gal loved the animal farm at Farmhouse Lembang where she got to feed rabbits, sheep and other farm animals. 

Farmhouse Iguana

5. Chill out in a birdcage at Dusun Bambu

After exploring the farmhouse, we headed to Dusun Bambu  family leisure park.  We wanted to experience dining in a bird cage up on a tree at Lutung Kasarung but it was closed for a few hours due to strong winds.   

Lembang Bandung

Instead, we had a pre-dinner satay snack and drinks at Purbasari overlooking Dusun Bambu’s incredible view of the lake.

6. Savour Sundanese cuisine at Kampung Daun

Bandung

Dining at Kampung Daun is a must when visiting Bandung. From the moment you step in, you will feel a relaxed atmosphere with cosy dining huts set amidst lush rain forest. The soothing sounds of water streaming down from the waterfall and the cool evening weather set the perfect ambience for dinner.

Sundanese cuisine

Kampung Daun serves a variety of local Sundanese favourites like Bambu rice (rice steamed on bamboo), Nasi timbel (rice wrapped in banana leaf) and their signature Nasi kukus (coconut flavoured steamed rice).

Day 3: South of Bandung

We spent our second full day in Ciwidey , an area south of Bandung’s city centre, to enjoy the beautiful Indonesian landscapes.

7. Visit a mystical white lake above the clouds at Kawah Putih

Crater lake Bandung

Kawah Putih (white crater) is a crater with stunning bluish white lake that changes hue depending on weather conditions.  

Volcanic crater lake

The lake is highly acidic, and the smell of sulphur was so strong that we were only allowed to stay there for a short while.  The amount of steam coming out of this lake made us feel like we were standing at the edge of a giant pot of boiling water!

8. Get onboard a wooden ship on a hilltop at Lake Patengan

Lake Patenogan Pisnis Resto

We visited a different kind of lake in the highlands where the air was fresh and cool. If you see a big wooden ship on top of a hill, you know that you are at Lake Patengan (or Patenggang as some call it).  Get onboard the ship via a suspended bridge to enjoy a view of the surrounding tea plantations.  There was also a restaurant onboard the ship.  

Lake Patenggan

There were even large tents for families who wish to experience glamping surrounded by the tea plantation.

9. Have lunch at a strawberry plantation at Saung Gawir

Sundanese Nasi komplit

Famished after exploring the 2 lakes, we descended the mountain and headed to Saung Gawir , a restaurant located near its base. This restaurant is one of the most popular in the area serving Bandung’s favourite local delights. We chose to dine in traditional Sundanese wooden huts overlooking the strawberry plantation.  I highly recommend the Nasi Bakar Komplit and the fresh strawberry juice. 

10. Go bargain hunting at Bandung’s factory outlets

After lunch, we headed back to the city to do one other thing Bandung has gotten more famous for – SHOPPING! 

There were so many factory outlets in Bandung that it would take a few days just to cover them all.  Fortunately, most of the factory outlets were concentrated along three stretches of road within the city area. 

  • Jalan Setiabudhi  – Rumah Mode, Fashion World, Grande Fashion Gallery, Mode Plus 
  • Jalan Dago  – Level, Polo, Nike, Grande, Marc & Stuart, Uptown, Carla, Glow, Donatello
  • Jalan Riau  – Summit, Heritage, Cascade, Secret

Clothing from fashion brands like Guess, Zara and Mango selling at a fraction of the price in regular malls will tempt even the most discerning shoppers.  Of course, you have to check the quality of the items as there were varying grades of quality coming from factory outlets. Those with proper labels and generally feel good to the touch are the ones to buy.

Bandung Factory Outlet

If you have time for just one factory outlet, I would recommend Rumah Mode , one of the most popular factory outlets in Bandung. They have a good selection of quality and fashionable clothing for the entire family.  They also have a food court, a small bakery serving pretty cakes and pastries, and a souvenir shop.  

Another factory outlet worth visiting is the one at Cibadayut. It is popular for its leather goods. You can get high grade leather products from brands ranging from Timberland to Montblanc. 

If you are looking for traditional textiles and clothing, head to Pasar Baru Trade Centre . If you are looking for cheap jeans, head to Cihampelas walk – also known as Jeans St.

Souvenirs from Bandung

The most popular things to bring back as souvenirs are:

  • Kartika Sari Pisang Bolen (a banana-filled pastry dessert); and
  • Amanda steamed brownies 

Amanda Brownies

Where to Stay in Bandung

Bandung has a variety of accommodations  depending on your Budget and preference. Do you prefer the hotels or  glamping? Do you prefer the convenience of staying in the city area with lots of shopping outlets and cafes, or the tranquility of nature?

Stay at hotels along Setiabudi or Riau if you want to be close to shopping and dining. We stayed at Villa Damar as it was close to factory outlets like Rumah Mode and local restaurants. It has lofts with 3 king sized beds, enough for a big family.  

Hotel in Bandung

Other nice hotels in the city area include:

  • Sukajadi Hotel – It has rooms that can accommodate up to 5 people
  • Hilton Hotel – It has well-appointed rooms that can accommodate up to 4 persons. 
  • GH Universal Hotel – It has classy European-style rooms
  • Trans Luxury Hotel – it has 2 adjoining luxurious rooms for a family of 5, and with one  kid under 12.

Outside the city area

If you prefer to get away from the city or are travelling with a bigger group, look for accommodations outside of the city, like on Dago Hill where there are a number of /modern bungalows/villas with private pools for the family. Apart from the great views, Dago Hill boasts many cafes and restaurants to chill out.

  • Pinus Villa – It can accommodate up to 10 people and it has a private pool.
  • Cempaka Villa – It can accommodate up to 12 people and it also has a private pool.
  • Padma Hotel Bandung – It has a great mountain view and is not too far from the city.

To be closer to nature whilst enjoying cool and fresh air, head further north and stay in Lembang . You will be close to many of the attractions and family parks in Lembang.  Options include:

  • Dusun Bambu Leisure Park – Go glamping  or stay in a 1 or 2 bedroom traditional villas surrounded by paddy fields 
  • Sapu Lidi – sleep in style in traditional wooden huts by the trees and lake
  • Dulang Resort and Resto – Budget-friendly kampung-style accommodation with a pool that overlooks lush paddy plantations
  • Stevie G Hotel – This modern hotel has a Liverpool theme for its decor that die-hard Liverpool Soccer fans would love 
  • Jadul Village Resort & Spa – stay in this resort to experience Javanese style luxury accommodation
  • Villa Air Natural Resort – the gorgeous villas at the valley of Mt Tangkuban blend modern and traditional Indonesian styles to give visitors a tranquil retreat.
  • Grafika Cikole – sleep in chalets surrounded by tall tree

More Attractions in Bandung

My key take away from the short trip is that the 2 full-day trip was simply not enough to explore Bandung.   I wished we had at least one extra day to explore more attractions and restaurants.

  • Witness a stunning sunrise from a cliff overlooking a pine tree forest at Tebing Keraton.  
  • Visit one or more of the many waterfalls in Bandung. Some of these waterfalls (or curug in Bahasa Indonesia) are easier to access than others. The Rainbow Waterfall (Curug Cimahi) is located right off the highway, while the popular Maribaya Waterfall is located in a forest surrounded by dense vegetation.
  • Soothe aches and pains by taking a dip at one of many hot springs around Bandung. The popular ones are Ciater / Sari Ater Hot springs .
  • Ride a horse at D’Ranch .
  • Pick strawberries in the strawberry plantations in Lembang or Ciwidey
  • Feed a deer at Ranca Upas Ciwidey 
  • Pet farm animals at a miniature zoo on the rooftop of Paris Van Java mall .
  • Watch a lively performance by local kids using the traditional angklung at Saung Angklung Udjo
  • Enjoy a thrilling roller coaster ride at the indoor Trans Studio Bandung theme park
  • Observe the stars at the Bosscha observatory

Getting Around

The best way to get around Bandung is by going on a tour.  We chose a private tour with   Bandung Jack Tour .

If you ever find yourself in Indonesia, don’t forget to stop by Bandung. As the capital of the West Java province, the city of Bandung draws in thousands of tourists each year.

There are plenty of things to do in Bandung, each one as exciting and unique as the last. If you plan to visit this beautiful city, here are 15 of the best activities you can do in Bandung Indonesia.

Admire The Rainbow Garden

The Rainbow Garden , also known as Bandung Flower Garden, is the perfect place for couples or romantics at heart. True to its name, this tourist attraction is riddled with fields upon fields of different flowers, all colorful and vibrant, lined up to resemble a bright rainbow.

Frolic around with your friends, alone, or with your partner. It’s a great location for Instagram photos or for those who are just looking to stroll around and admire the beauty of flowers. Entrance to the Rainbow Garden costs about $1, which is a bargain considering what you’re getting in exchange. Plus, the fee comes with a free drink — perfect on hot days.

The Rainbow Garden is located at Lembang, West Bandung Regency, West Java 40391, Indonesia, right next to the famous Lembang Floating Market.

Looking for the thrill of a lifetime that’s relaxing at the same time? Head to Tebing Gunung Hawu and climb the towering limestone peaks. In between these hills are broad chasms where hammocks hang on slacklines at the ready. These hammocks give tourists an opportunity to wind down after a long hike .

What makes this experience even more alluring is the scenic views of the city of Bandung. From atop high peaks, you’ll appreciate its beauty even more. Pro tip: head to Tebing Gunung Hawu at the crack of dawn to catch the sunrise for a magical experience you won’t soon forget.

Dusun Bambu is a family leisure park situated at the foot of a large mountain. There is a towering bamboo structure at the entrance and whimsical floral shuttles that can take you everywhere. Of course, you can opt to walk instead to enjoy the scenic vistas and picturesque views. Keep in mind, though, that the park is very big, so you may become tired after a while.

The park itself is a tourist attraction, but there a few restaurants located inside that are equally popular. Arguably the best one, however, is Cafe Burangrang. With its tied glass form, diners can enjoy rich meals made with fresh Indonesian spices while admiring the man-made lake down below. All of this makes for a truly unforgettable dining experience!

Dusun Bambu is located at Jl. Kolonel Masturi No.KM, Kertawangi, Kec. Cisarua, Kabupaten Bandung Barat, Jawa Barat 40551, Indonesia.

Dine At Kampung Daun

No trip to Indonesia would be complete without trying local cuisine. And there’s no better place than Kampung Daun. Here, tourists can sample authentic Indonesian food made with Indonesian spices. To make the dining experience even more genuine, you can listen to Indonesian music while eating. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a cultural show. Plus, Kampung Daun is vegetarian-friendly!

Kawah Putih , also known as White Crater, is a volcanic crater lake in Bandung, Indonesia. While it may not sound like an exciting destination, you’ll quickly change your mind once you witness the crater lake in all its glory. The turquoise water is nothing short of magical, while the surrounding trees look like they came straight out of a storybook.

Kawah Putih sits about 50 km south of Bandung, but the journey to this beautiful crater is well worth it. Make sure to time your visit, though, because Kawah Putih attracts many tourists, especially on weekends. 

Kawah Putih is located in Sugihmukti, Pasirjambu, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Feel Young Again At Kota Mini

If you want to relive your youth, the European-inspired town of Kota Mini is the place to be. Kota Mini was intentionally built for children, but whimsical adults and the young-at-heart will also enjoy this miniature town. The houses are meant to be smaller, but their tiny size only adds to their charm. The cobblestone streets are also lined by fences, with phone booths and benches dotting the path.

Spend an entire afternoon getting lost in this wonderful destination, filled with perfect photo opportunities and amusing rooms to explore. If you’re in dire need of a pick-me-up, a visit to this bright and vibrant town is sure to liven your spirits in an instant. The entrance is only $2 per person, so you’re definitely in for a bargain.

Go On An Off-Road Trip

If you’ve never been off-roading before, why not start in Bandung Indonesia? Gather your friends or family and head to the Bandung countryside, where mountainous regions are just waiting to be explored via an open landrover. You’ll pass by vistas of tea plantations, muddy terrain, and puddles of rainwater along the way. Don’t forget to take pictures of the forest you’ll be passing through as well.

Off-roading in Bandung is a great adventure for both experienced off-roaders and the uninitiated. There are several travel companies that offer the off-roading experience, so do your research and take your pick wisely. Some travel companies, like the Bandung Off-Road , even organize pit stops where travelers can take a break and enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the mountains.

Be warned, though. Not everyone should go on an off-roading trip. People with back problems or spinal injuries should skip this item, as off-roading can be really tough on the back.

Immerse Yourself In Sundanese Culture at Komunitas Hong

The Sundanese people are native to the West Java region of Indonesia. Make it a part of your itinerary to visit Komunitas Hong, a family-friendly center where visitors can learn about the Sundanese culture. Be exposed to the traditions and ways of the Sundanese and listen to the folklore that has permeated their culture through generations.

You’ll also find games and toys made of bamboo enjoyed by the Sundanese children. Don’t worry, though. You’ll also get your chance to play with the toys and games, which are designed for groups of at least two people. While sightseeing and shopping are great activities in Bandung, there’s nothing quite like immersing yourself in the local culture. It’s a shared experience you won’t soon forget!

The Hong Community is located at Jl. Bukit Pakar Utara No.31, Ciburial, Kec. Cimenyan, Bandung, Jawa Barat 40198, Indonesia.

Stop By The Bandung Zoological Gardens

The Bandung Zoological Gardens, also known locally as Kebun Binatang Bandung, is a home for animals dating all the way back to 1933. Interestingly, this zoo was established as a way of merging two separate zoos back in the day, the Cimindi Zoo and Dago Atas Zoo. Now, the Bandung Indonesia zoo stands as a testament of time and nature. While not as impressive as other zoos in the world, Bandung Zoo definitely has some gems.

You’ll find a wide range of animals here, including lions and alligators. Visitors will also have a chance to mingle with turtles, snakes, monkeys, zebras, hippos, peacocks, tigers, and even camels. There are several types of birds to gawk at as well. While adults may not be impressed, children will definitely love exploring the many corners and animals of this zoo.

Visit One Of Many Tea Fields

Although Indonesia is located in Southeast Asia , Bandung boasts a cool climate thanks to its strategic placement in the mountains. Due to its overall cooler temperatures, Bandung makes for a great location to plant tea leaves. This is why the city is home to a smorgasbord of tea fields and plantations. Take your pick, wander around, and get lost in the bevy of tea fields in the area.

Don’t worry about potentially damaging the plants. There are pathways in between for people to walk on — clearly, the tea fields here welcome so many visitors that trails are now necessary. You don’t even have to shell out any money, as visiting these plantations is largely free of charge.

If you’re too lazy to organize your own trip and would rather pay for a tour guide, there are many travel agencies that offer tours of the different tea plantations in North Bandung. Some of them even include samples of the tea. And nothing beats sipping warm tea on a cool morning in Bandung Indonesia!

Visit Tangkuban Perahu

Ever wanted to visit an active volcano? Bandung Indonesia is your best bet! Around 30 km north of Bandung lies Tangkuban Perahu , an active volcano with a live crater. Some volcanoes are off-limits to visitors, but not this one. In fact, you can even drive all the way into the live crater itself and stand in awe of its wonder. Being an active volcano, expect it to get seriously hot in there, with actual steaming smoke that’s white as rice emanating from the ground.

Perhaps even more interesting than the actual experience itself, however, is the story behind the active volcano. Legend has it that a strong young man once fell in love with his own mother. Distraught and horrified by the revelation, the mother put forth a challenge for her son — to build an enormous boat in a single night.

As the mother was afraid that her son would complete the task on time, she prayed to God to let the sunrise earlier, before her son could finish building the boat. Defeated, the son was driven to madness and kicked the boat, giving Tangkuban Perahu, which means “overturned boat,” its iconic shape.

A car ride to Tangkuban Perahu takes about 2 hours, though you can rent a moped and drive it down there yourself for a tad longer. You can also opt to pay for an organized tour.

Tangkuban Perahu is located at Cikahuripan, Lembang, West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia.

Visit The Lembang Floating Market

Another countryside destination in Bandung is the Lembang Floating Market. If you’ve ever been to the floating markets in Bangkok , this one is somewhat similar, except it’s smaller. Since it’s situated in the Bandung countryside, you’ll have to take a drive or ride a moped to get there. Don’t worry — the trip is definitely worth it, and you get to see some sights while you’re at it!

This floating market sells authentic local dishes and snacks for cheap. So, travelers on a tight budget can head to this attraction for a full-course meal for less. Explore the many vendors on wooden boats. You can do so on foot by strolling around the boardwalk, where food stalls are also accessible, or you can rent out a boat and cruise down as you munch on Indonesian food. There’s an entrance fee, though, but it’s not very expensive (around $1) and it comes with a complimentary drink, too. It sounds like the perfect way to spend your day!

The Lembang Floating Market is located at Jl. Grand Hotel No.33E, Lembang, Kabupaten Bandung Barat, Jawa Barat 40391, Indonesia.

Watch A Saung Angklung Udjo Show

The Angklung is a traditional Sundanese instrument made out of bamboo, with each one producing a note to create a full orchestra of melodies when several are played together. Tourists who want a real taste of traditional music should head to Saung Angklung Udjo, where a museum and evening angklung concerts await.

The performance opens with a shadow puppet show, which is a vital part of Indonesian culture. Then, local children begin to sing and dance before a full angklung concert goes into full swing. The show is interactive and far from boring, as it lets the audience participate in playing the angklung to create a full orchestra. If you’ve ever heard of the saying, “music brings people together,” you’ll see it come alive firsthand in Bandung Indonesia.

The Saung Angklung Udjo is located at Jl. Padasuka 118, Bandung 40192, Indonesia.

Watch The Sunset At Tebing Keraton

Also known as Keraton Cliff or the Royal Cliff, Tebing Keraton is the best place to watch the sunset or sunrise either alone or with someone special. It’s one of the hidden destinations in Bandung that’s for its picturesque views of the city and devastatingly beautiful peaks.

Apart from catching the sunrise and fall from atop the cliff, you can also cycle around this misty spot, though there are steep climbs that will really test your strength and endurance. For breakfast, remember to stop by Bubur Gowes, a stall that sells delicious bubur (rice porridge) that’s popular among cyclists. Just remember to pack a light jacket as early mornings can be chilly here.

Getting to Tebing Keraton takes more than a simple drive, though. After parking your car in the lot, you have to rent a motorbike taxi or Gojek , which costs about $3 to $4 both ways. In total, the distance from the lot to the cliff and back again is around 3 km.

Tebing Keraton is located at Bukit Dago Pakar, Bandung 40198, Indonesia.

What To Do In Bandung At Night?

While Bandung is breathtaking no matter the time, the city is no stranger to an active nightlife. Tourists can experience their fair share of parties here, with clubs like Southbank, Malmo, and Sobbers at the ready. If you’re more in the mood for singing instead of dancing, sing your heart out at one of the many karaoke places in the city. If you’d rather watch someone else sing, you can catch live music at bars like Troy’s, La Baraga, Little Collins, or Holywings.

You can also sample local beer at the Beer Garden in Taman Sari. Not a beer fan? Stuff your face with street food instead. At night, Bandung comes alive as the streets transform and vendors selling all kinds of dishes stay way into the late night. If you want something more relaxing after a tiring day of adventure, visit a night spa in Bandung Indonesia instead.

Where To Stay In Bandung Indonesia?

There are a number of options for accommodations in Bandung Indonesia. If it’s your first time visiting this gorgeous city, the neighborhood of Bandung Wetan, which sits right at the city center, is the ideal place to stay. If you’re traveling on a budget, there are many different hostels to choose from, including Ostel by Ostic, which is one of the best hostels in the city. There are also some fancier Bandung Indonesia hotels you can book, such as the Padma Hotel Bandung , Summer Hills Hotel & Villas , Four Points by Sheraton Bandung , Crowne Plaza Bandung , and Mercure Hotel Bandung . 

If fancy chain hotels aren’t your thing, try one of the many unique hotels in the West Java region. Bandung offers no shortage of artsy hotels, each one filled with corners upon corners of Instagram-worthy backgrounds. Book a stay at the luxurious Art Deco for the eponymous architectural style or at the Beehive Hotel with its minimalist design. Cottonwood Bed & Breakfast is equally quirky, with its Victorian-inspired style and themed rooms. Other options include the Noor Hotel, the Kollektiv Hotel, and the Breeze Bandung.

What To Shop In Bandung Indonesia?

Tourists love to shop in Bandung, and it’s easy to see why. The prices are competitive and the selections are seemingly limitless. You can shop for virtually everything — from clothes and jewelry to food and local souvenirs. There are a number of different markets here, as well as many outlets selling branded items for less.

If you’re more of a mall rat, don’t you worry. Shopping malls in Bandung Indonesia are abundant, such as Click Square, Trans Studio Mall, and Bandung Indah Plaza. Shoppers on a budget won’t be disappointed either. Find local apparel for cheap at Pasar Baru Trade Center and locally-made, high-quality leather shoes at Cibaduyut. For jeans, Gang Tamim is the best place to be.

How Long Is The Train From Jakarta To Bandung Indonesia?

Travelers visiting Indonesia for the first time likely want to stop by as many cities as they can. After all, when are they ever going to get the chance to visit this beautiful Asian country again? In Java region, begin your itinerary in Jakarta before heading to Bandung and then Surabaya, with your last stop being the province of Bali . However, for many travelers, the itinerary isn’t the problem — it’s the transportation. Getting from one destination to another is a challenging task to take on when you’re a foreigner.

If you’re coming from Jakarta, ride a train to get to Bandung Indonesia. The distance between these two cities is about 150 km, so expect a long journey. The duration of your train ride depends on which station you’ll be coming from in Jakarta. Train rides from Gambir Station usually last about 3 hours, while the ones from Pasar Senen take about 4 hours. Make sure to check the schedule of the train, though, as they leave at different times during the day.

In truth, the language spoken in Indonesia is none other than Indonesian. The official language in the country is Bahasa Indonesia. There are also more than 300 different native languages spoken in various parts of the country. 

When Is The Best Time To Visit Bandung Indonesia?

The weather in Bandung can be quite fickle, so it’s important to time your visit well. Generally, the best time to visit Bandung Indonesia is between June and September, which is the dry season.

However, these summer months provide the best weather for travelers in Bandung, with sunny days and the perfect temperature experienced all over the city, particularly the countryside. Contrary to popular belief, the summer months in Bandung aren’t hot at all. Because it’s situated in higher parts of the country, Bandung enjoys cool climates even during the summer.

Day trips from Bandung with teens

While staying in Bandung city with teenagers may be the easiest option on your family vacation to Bandung there are some fun trips for teenagers to make out of the city too. The best vacations for teenagers usually include at least one day trip.

Below we have a couple of day trip recommendations for families travelling with teenagers. There are also so many more things to do on your vacation with teenagers when you add a day trip from Bandung.

The Maribaya Lodge

Located in the hills above Bandung City just near the town of Lembang is the Maribaya Lodge. I am not really sure how to describe this place except to say it is an Instagrammer delight! It is fake…yes that’s the word but still one of the most interesting places to go in Bandung.

Fun at Maribaya Lodge

It is certainly one of the most popular places to visit in Bandung. The concept of visiting the Maribaya Lodge is to get some great pictures doing fantastic activities with teenagers that you are not really doing! For instance, you get in a hot air balloon, the balloon lifts you 5 feet off the ground with a forest in the background making it look like you are up in the air.

This also happens with hang gliders, swings, photo platforms and bike riding on a wire. It’s a good bit of fun that the kids will definitely enjoy. If you have teens that love insta then this should be one of the top things to do on your Bandung trip with teenagers. Maribaya Lodge is a top tourist attraction in Bandung for both local tourists and travellers alike and is definitely a Bandung must-visit.

A family travel with teenagers warning: On a sour note just across the road from the Maribaya Lodge is the Fairy Garden attraction which we visited as well. They will push you to buy a combined ticket for both attractions when you are buying tickets at Maribaya Lodge. They keep a lot of animals on display there and have horse rides. We found their horses had no food or water in the stalls on a day well above 30 degrees. Our eldest daughter Willow went and bought bottles of water and tried to give the horses water. It left us all slightly disappointed with our day out after that experience. This is one of the places to go in Bandung that we would recommend not to visit.

Unforgettable places in Indonesia:  See Prambanan Temple

Tangkuban Perahu

Tangkuban Perahu Volcano Crater is located about an hour and 15 minutes from downtown Bandung and is the biggest Bandung attraction for tourists. You can drive all the way to the edge of the crater and is a great day trip from Bandung. Like all attractions in Indonesia, you will find food and drink stalls and souvenir shops selling everything known to man up there.

A Family Vacation to Kawah Putih and Situ Patenggang in Ciwidey, Bandung

Explore Ciwidey in southern Bandung and enjoy the beauty of Kawah Putih, Situ Patenggang,  Rancabali tea plantation, Ranca Upas the deer conservatory, hang out in Glamping Lake Side | #ExploreSunda

Ciwidey is a small town located in the southern part of Bandung. It serves as the gateway to the stunning highlands on the slope of Mount Patuha. For many years, the top two places of interest in this area have been

  • Kawah Putih (White Crater)

Situ Patenggang

We, at ExploreSunda.com, still highly recommend visiting these places. However, there are also newer places of interest in the area, as it has developed into a popular tourist destination. For instance, you can now pick strawberries directly from the farms, enjoy the beautiful scenery of tea plantations, or simply unwind and indulge in the resorts.

Kawah Putih

Kawah Putih - icon

Kawah Putih, also known as White Crater in English, is a beautiful volcanic lake located on the slope of Mount Patuha. The scenic beauty of the crater is mesmerizing, as the lake boasts a blend of white and greenish hues, a white sandy beach, and towering limestone cliffs.

Situ Patenggang - icon

As you continue your journey, you will eventually reach the stunning lake of Situ Patenggang (also known as Situ Patengan). This lake is a popular family vacation spot in Sunda due to its breathtaking scenery. You can enjoy the view from the lakebank or rent a boat to circle around the lake.

Kampung Cai Ranca Upas

Ciwidey - Kampung Cai Ranca Upas - Javan Rusa

Ranca Upas is a forest that used to have a large swamp, hence its name. Ranca is a Sundanese word that means swamp, and Upas is a species of flora commonly found in the area. The place is now used for breeding Javan Rusa, also known as Sunda Sambar or Rusa Timorensis, a species of deer native to Java, Bali, and Timor.

According to the brochure, the breeding area at Ranca Upas covers an area of five hectares. However, during our visit there, we only saw twenty deer inside the pen. It is unclear whether the five hectares are only dedicated to the breeding area or if they also include camping grounds and playgrounds. It is also possible that the twenty deer we saw were only part of a feeding activity, and the rest were free to roam in the woods.

The habitat of the deer is muddy ground with a wooden platform surrounded by a wooden fence. You don't need to buy tickets to enter because it is accessible by buying carrots to feed the deer. If you want to get as close as possible to the deer, you walk on the ground, but since their habitat is so muddy, we prefer to feed them from the wooden platform. The deer are accustomed to visitors feeding them carrots, so they are generally tame and will come to whoever brings carrots.

Besides the deer breeding area, Ranca Upas has camping grounds and a water park. You don't have to bring camping gear because it can be rented on-site. Despite the cold weather in Ciwidey, the brochure assures that the water used for the water park is warm, as it comes from the nearby hot spring. So, you can enjoy playing in the water to your heart's content without worrying about getting cold.

Strawberry Picking in Ciwidey

Pick your own strawberry in the many strawberry farms in Ciwidey, Bandung.

The cool weather on the slopes of Mount Patuha is ideal for growing strawberries, so there are many strawberry farms in the area. At these farms, you have the opportunity to pick your own strawberries. Although the price may be higher than buying them in a market, the experience of picking your own strawberries is always enjoyable, especially for children. Since strawberry picking is a favorite activity in Ciwidey, the farms often get crowded on weekends and holidays. Hence, it is best to arrive early.

Traditional Snacks From Ciwidey

On your way to Kawah Putih, Ranca Upas, Situ Patenggang, and other tourist destinations in Ciwidey, you will come across rows of kiosks on either side of the road. They sell traditional snacks from Ciwidey. The famous three are Kalua Jeruk, Dodol Strawberry, and Berondong Jagung.

Kalua Jeruk is a sweet treat made from pomelo skin and sugar. Besides the original flavor of palm sugar, it also comes in many different colors and flavors, such as strawberry, durian, orange, and melon.

Since there are many strawberry farms in this area, some strawberries are cooked into strawberry sweets called Dodol Strawberries. They are made of glutinous rice, sugar, and strawberry juice.

Berondong Jagung, or popcorn balls in English, looks like white and brown balls hanging on the snack kiosks. They are made by sticking popcorn together with palm sugar.

A morning routine in Rancabali Tea Plantation, workers are busy handpicked tea shoots.

Meal and Accommodation in Ciwidey

Many years ago, Sindang Reret was the only recommended restaurant and hotel in Ciwidey. But today, there are so many options you can choose: spend a night in villas, hotels and motels, guest houses, and inns. The latest trend is to stay in the glamping camp.

Check out the best glamping camp in Southern Bandung here ...

As a resort, D'Riam Riverside features comfortable hotel rooms, glamping, restaurants, and outdoor activities such as rafting, outbound, the bamboo bridge, and various swings.

On the other hand, Bobocabin Ranca Upas offers modern, minimalist, tiny cottages under the canopy of a forest.

A Nasi Timbel set consists of rice, gepuk, fried tofu, chips, and sambal.

Although Sindang Reret Hotel looks outdated compared with the newer hotels, resorts, and glamping, the Sundanese food here is still the best. One of their specialty is Gepuk, sliced beef that is spiced and then cooked for hours until tender. The taste is rather sweet.

If you like spicy food, try the Sundanese salad named Karedok. It consists of raw vegetables such as cucumber, string beans, eggplant, and cabbage with oncom sauce. Oncom is made of beans fermented with fungi, which you can only find in Sunda. If you prefer cooked vegetables, you can order gado-gado, which comprises cooked cabbage, string bean, bean sprouts, boiled egg and potato, fried tofu, and tempe with peanut sauce.

Most of the restaurants in Ciwidey are Sundanese restaurants. Although their menus are slightly different from each other, in general, they serve fried or grilled chicken, gourami fish, Karedok, fried tofu, and fried tempeh. Continue reading about the famous Sundanese food here...

How to Go to Ciwidey, Kawah Putih, and Situ Patenggang

Tap/click the map to get directions to Ciwidey, Kawah Putih and Situ Patenggang.

This highland is approximately 50 km southwest of Bandung. Thanks to the opening of the Soroja (Soreang - Pasirkoja) toll road, traveling to Ciwidey becomes much faster. The Soroja toll road is an extension of the Purbaleunyi toll road, where you must switch lanes at the km. 132. It is a bit confusing for first-time drivers as there is a fork at the exit, where you must choose a direction to Soreang. Once you get onto the toll road, simply continue driving until the end, where you will reach Soreang. From there, just follow the road signs to Ciwidey and continue your journey to Kawah Putih and Situ Patenggang.

Don’t forget to bring your jacket, since the cold wind in the area of  Ciwidey, Kawah Putih and Situ Patenggang makes it quite freezing up there.

Ciwidey in the south, Lembang in the north, and Garut in the east, it is absolutely worth it to explore the Bandung highland. Which one is your favorite?
