5. Bandung
The third largest city in the country, Bandung is a sprawling, traffic-filled city that is threatening to engulf many of the attractions that make it worth visiting. There are lots of lovely buildings scattered about, with some particularly fine architectural styles on show, as well as some great markets, shopping centers and restaurants on offer. Surrounded by mountains, there are loads of lovely natural wonders for visitors to enjoy nearby; you can trek volcanic peaks, bathe in relaxing hot springs, or take a trip to the nearby tea plantations.
4. Jakarta
The capital of Indonesia this teeming megalopolis is a dynamic place full of life. Although its streets can feel frenetic and chaotic at times, Jakarta’s almost thirty-million residents are a welcoming and friendly bunch. Its fast pace of development means that the city is constantly changing, as high-rises and tower blocks spring up though the delightful Chinatown and colonial buildings of the old town help show another side to Jakarta. There are a plethora of fantastic restaurants, atmospheric cafes and lively bars for you to enjoy, as well as a raucous nightlife scene. Truly representative of all Indonesia, its residents highlight the country’s cultural diversity in their cuisine, customs and the products they sell.
3. Kuta
Once a small, secluded fishing village, Bali‘s Kuta has been overdeveloped over the decades; its fast-food joints, cheap bars and nightclubs are now full of young Australians looking for a good time. While you can definitely spend all your time partying here, it is Kuta’s dazzlingly white beach which is the main attraction – it may even be the best beach in the whole of Bali. All along the coast there are gorgeous beaches for you to enjoy and some great scuba diving and surfing to be had. Head to nearby Legian and Seminyak if you want a more peaceful time, or to the stunning beaches of the Gili Islands which are a boat ride away.
2. Ubud
An ever increasingly popular destination, Ubud’s center is now quite packed with tourists, although if you head a bit further out, you will find more peaceful parts of town and secluded paddy fields. Dripping in history, the city and its nearby surroundings are home to a multitude of fine cultural and historical attractions. There are loads of spectacular temples for you to visit, some delightful caves, lovely stone carvings, as well as some great museums. On top of all that, there are lots of good restaurants, bars and local shops for you to check out; over sixty-five different art performances are put on each week. Creative and calm – depending on where you go – many people end up staying a lot longer than they expected in Bali’s Ubud, due to its beguiling charms.
1. Yogyakarta
A delight to wander around, Yogyakarta is the artistic and cultural heart of the island of Java – the rich Javanese heritage shines forth wherever you look. One of the oldest cities in Indonesia, there are lots of historical sites to visit; it is still ruled by a sultan, whose elegant, walled palace dominates the center of town. A great place to live, Yogyakarta’s delightful street art, fantastic art galleries and museums, as well as its sumptuous dining options, make it lovely to visit. There is always something interesting to see or do. Although the local culture and traditions are still very present, fast-food joints and shopping malls have sprung up around the city. With the spectacular temple complex at Borobudur and Prambanan nearby, Yogyakarta is a great base from which you can explore the surrounding region.
