Bandung, the capital of Indonesia, is quite a unique place: it is one of the last remaining ‘Greenwich Village’ types of towns in the world and has a unique blend of Indonesian, Asian and African cultures. Bandung was historically an important trading post between East and West Java during the early days of Dutch colonial rule. The original settlement was built on a hill overlooking the main bay of Bandung called ‘Bayang Pulau’. Today it is the biggest port in the city and also has the honor of being Indonesia’s first science and technology museum. With an amazing range of cultural experiences and activities, Bandung is ideal for both long-term visitors and short ones.
It is not only great fun and entertainment but also education. You can visit the Natural History Museum here and have the opportunity to work with the local artists and tour the habitats of birds and mammals in the wild. On your tour to Bandung, you should visit the Natural History Museum but also do some sightseeing in other parts of town such as Jalan Raya Ubud, Jalan Hanoman, and Jalan Sungai.

If you are looking for great places to eat then you must try out Taman Negara. Taman Negara is located on the north-western coast and offers a wide range of excellent restaurants, cafes, seafood restaurants, and fresh fruit and flower markets. Here you can also experience fresh seafood and other Indonesian specialties. The best time to go there is in the evening as the restaurants are usually very busy during the weekends. This is also the place where you can pick up a good piece of the traditional garment at bargain prices.
