Bandung
Bandung Tourism Information — cool highland city surrounded by volcanoes, tea plantations, and waterfalls.
About Bandung
Bandung is the capital of West Java, nestled in a volcanic basin at 768 meters above sea level. Known as the "Paris van Java" during Dutch colonial times, the city retains much of its art-deco architecture and old-world charm — while buzzing with modern cafés, creative hubs, and fashion outlets.
Surrounded by volcanic mountains — Tangkuban Perahu to the north and Patuha to the south — Bandung enjoys a cool climate year-round. The city is the perfect base for exploring dramatic craters, hot springs, tea plantations, and strawberry farms.
Whether you come for the nature, the food, or the history, Bandung has a way of surprising you. And with a private car and driver, you can explore it all at your own pace.

Top Attractions in Bandung
Six places we drive to almost every week.
Tangkuban Perahu
An active volcano 30 km north of the city. The crater rim (Kawah Ratu) is easily accessible by car — you can drive right up to the edge and walk around. Legend says this mountain was once a boat, kicked upside down by a disappointed father.
Ciater Hot Spring
Natural sulfur hot springs in the middle of tea plantations, at the foot of Tangkuban Perahu. The warm water is believed to soothe muscle aches and skin problems. Surrounded by cool mountain air, it's a perfect mid-day stop.
Kawah Putih
A surreal turquoise crater lake in Ciwidey, about 50 km south of Bandung. The lake's color changes with the weather — from pale green to milky white to deep blue. Walking on the wooden boardwalk above the crater is an experience you won't forget.
Situ Patenggang
A serene lake surrounded by tea gardens, 1,600 meters above sea level. Perfect for a picnic, a boat ride, or simply sitting by the water with a cup of local tea. Nearby Ranca Upas is a deer conservation area where you can feed the animals.
Lembang
A highland area north of Bandung, home to Farmhouse Susu Lembang (a European-style village), Floating Market, orchid gardens, and strawberry farms. Great for families and anyone looking for a change of scenery.
Braga Street
The historic heart of Bandung. Art-deco buildings, colonial-era cafés, and street art make Braga a favorite for photographers and history buffs. Come in the evening for the best atmosphere.
