Coffee Shop
Kinokimi Coffee is a cozy coffee shop with a warm and aesthetic atmosphere, located above Bobcat Haircut. It’s a nice place to relax, enjoy good coffee, and spend time with friends or even alone. The cafe has a calm and comfortable vibe, perfect for ...
Kinokimi Coffee
Kirokima Mekarwangi is a cozy little spot with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The place is known for its comfortable vibe, tasty food and drinks, and aesthetic interior that makes people want to stay longer.
It’s a nice place for hanging out with ...
Kiro Kima Cafe
BRACI has a classic vintage feel that's warm rather than stuffy — wooden furniture, warm lighting, the kind of place where time slows down a bit. It's become one of those spots that Bandung regulars quietly love without making too much noise about. I...

BRACI Cafe
DE.U Coffee has become one of the go-to places for locals in Dago, and it's easy to see why. The space is huge — indoor, semi-outdoor, and a full outdoor section — so you can actually find a comfortable spot even when it's busy. The design is thought...
DE.U Coffee — Dago
This one is genuinely unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. There's a circular dining area built in the center of a shallow pool — you eat surrounded by water, with spiral staircases and glass doors and an open fireplace bar nearby. It's theatrical wi...
Kalpa Tree Dine and Chill — Ciumbuleuit
Someone described this place to me as "Santorini but in Bandung" and I was skeptical. Then I got there. White walls, blue window frames, a terrace looking out over greenery — it genuinely has that Greek island energy without feeling forced. There are...
Orofi Cafe — Dago Pakar Area
Holiday Destination
Orchid Forest sounds like a nice name and then you actually walk in and realize it fully earns it. Hundreds of orchid species hanging from pine trees, a wooden suspension bridge swaying over the forest floor, and little nooks everywhere that feel wei...
Orchid Forest Cikole & Farmhouse Lembang
It sounds touristy and yes, it is — but in the best way. The whole concept of vendors selling food from little wooden boats on a lake is just fun, especially with kids. We tried martabak, grilled corn, and this local sweet rice cake that I still thin...
Floating Market Lembang
Dusun Bambu is one of those places where you show up and just feel your shoulders drop. It's a bamboo conservation area with a lake, bird nests you can sit in, and a few restaurants with open views of the mountains. It's quieter than most Lembang spo...
Dusun Bambu
I've been to a lot of outdoor parks in Java and The Lodge Maribaya still stands out. It's not just a photo spot — there are real activities, good food, and if you're into it, you can even stay overnight in their glamping area. The weekday entrance fe...
The Lodge Maribaya
What I love about Tangkuban Perahu is that you can literally drive up to an active volcano and peer into the crater without any serious hiking. The Kawah Ratu crater is massive and there's always a bit of steam rising — it feels very alive. We added ...
Tangkuban Perahu
We left Bandung at like 4am and I was questioning my life choices. But standing on that ridge watching the sun come up over Kawah Putih before a single tourist arrived — totally worth it. The crater looks completely different in early morning light, ...
Sunrise Trekking Sunan Ibu Kawah Putih
This was easily my favorite full day in South Bandung. We hit four spots: Kawah Putih for the crater views, Ranca Upas where you can literally walk up to deer in an open field, Rengganis suspension bridge (a bit wobbly but worth it), and Rancabali te...
White Crater Ranca Upas, Rengganis Bridge, Rancabali Tea Garden
This one's a bit hard to explain — it's a massive cultural theme park with recreations of Asian and African landmarks, which sounds odd on paper but genuinely works. There's a Fushimi Inari replica with hundreds of torii gates, a Japanese castle surr...
The Great Asia Africa
It was one of those rare experiences where we had just as much fun. You can milk a cow, feed sheep by hand, ride horses around the field, and try planting rice. The air is that cool Lembang mountain air that makes everything feel more alive. It's edu...
Jendela Alam
Bandung weather can be unpredictable — one afternoon it was pouring and we ended up here almost by accident. Genuinely one of the best unplanned decisions we made. It's fully indoor so rain doesn't matter, and the rides are actually fun for adults to...
Trans Studio Bandung
Culture Can be Fun
This combo tour made for a surprisingly full and interesting day. The Geology Museum is legitimately fascinating — fossils, ancient meteorites, a full volcanic history of the archipelago. Then in the afternoon, Saung Angklung Udjo flips the mood comp...
Museum Geologi Bandung dan Pertunjukan Angklung
I've been to angklung performances before, but Saung Angklung Udjo is the original — founded in 1966 by Udjo Ngalagena, who learned from the man who performed at the Asia-Africa Conference in 1955. The show runs about two hours and covers wayang gole...
Saung Angklung Udjo
The 1955 Asia-Africa Conference in Bandung was one of the most significant gatherings in post-colonial history — 29 newly independent nations meeting for the first time in the Gedung Merdeka building on Jalan Braga. The museum inside that same buildi...
