- Stephen GMelbourne, Australia47 contributionsA mixed reviewThe most famous street in Bandung has a few surprises. Not all good. The range of architecture is impressive with some Art Moderne and Art Deco gems. The street is lined with cafes and restaurants. However, almost all are simply selling coffee, cake, ice creams and desserts. Few real restaurants here. And finding one with decent food, aircon and beer was impossible. You can get a decent meal but few places are air conditioned and few places serve alcohol. This is because of the Muslim population of course but I’m surprised because it’s not illegal to share a glass of wine or a beer in Indonesia.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 16, 2024
- Raditya PamungkasBanyumas, Indonesia4 contributionsAesthetically Pleasing, But Lacks Something.The street of Braga offers an aesthetically pleasing old-school urban scenery. You'll find a lot of arts slash history stuffs here, and it also works as the epicenter of Bandung’s creative hub; live sketching/painting, street music, costume, art gallery, etc. It's definitely a very instagramable spot, but that's it. Also, a pretty concerning amount of beggars, and tends to be overcrowded during Saturday night.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 17, 2024

Went there with my little daughter 7 years old.
I don’t mind beggars but no is no.
He began to play his violin (but needed some more courses, it was bad, really bad) so when he began there was a no. When he was playing also several time no.
When we left he started to chase us, so we had to leave. This is not the way to keep tourists.
But. Good food and friendly people.

strolling around jl braga is a must to see the old town and the ambience of old Bandung. Lot's of food and coffee corner. There are some paintings to see as well. You can come here by motorcycle or if you come by car, you can just park it in Braga City Center..

Jalan Braga, while not as storied as Jalan Asia Afrika, has fared unfortunately similarly in the decades since its colonial past. While the historical architecture is interesting to look at, the traffic, hawkers and pollution are a constant distraction. I was disappointed in the lack of nightlife available.

Old town feel with new vibe. Not really a lot of stores, mostly restaurants although the oldest Dutch bakery still exist, it’s still a good place to visit. I don’t know if it’s because of Covid that a lot of the shops are closed. Going for a stroll is ok, but not to go back to a second time. We went during the day, the atmosphere changes at night. It’s a party town with young people.

Braga Street contains a number of old buildings; many housing restaurants.
It is a pleasant enough walk, but there is little endearing about it.
Far more interesting architecture to be seen on Jalan Asia Afrika.
As a number #1 drawcard in the city, it leaves much to be desired.

Had a walk here as mentioned as touristy destination, To avoid at once. the fun thing are just people dressed up in costumes on the road. the street itself is a trafficked road with nothing much to do around. Not beautiful, not interesting. Just don’t lose time here

This place has lots of prostitutes and pimps. Do not come here alone or with young children. Lots of bars and clubs in the area but dirty ones and mostly men guests and looks unsafe to go to. I would avoid this place unless very necessary.

I want to buy cheap souvenirs is there a specific place ? And how much would it cost me ?
Written January 1, 2018
Cheap souvenirs two places, you could go to Pasar Baru, and Cihampelas, those place are in Bandung, if you would like to go a bit far north of Bandung, we call it ‘Lembang’. There a lot of places to buy cheap souvenirs. The range prices around 5.000 Rupiah (50c USD) up to 25.000 Rupiah ($2,50 USD). And if you like some local T-shirt it might cost you 25.000 Rupiah ($2,50). Basically in Indonesia, Bandung in particular is cheap city to buy anything, even to live in this city.

Hello! I am planning to go Bandung with my husband. And the theme for this visit for us is "GO NATURE"and we would like to go to some places like Kawah Putih, Tangkuban Perahu, Floating Market and some other places. We would like to even try out sundanese food, heard the cafes in Bandung r quite AWESOME. Heard there are alao some restaurant uphill. But how shall i go about to visit these places? Should i book any local tour agent for land tour? Any suggestion which agent? or should i just rent a car with driver and plan out my own plan?
Written November 29, 2016
Hi!
I think Hatha has pretty much covered everything. My personal opinion, for North Bandung area (Tangkuban Perahu, Floating Market, etc), you can just use the public transport to go around. Still, renting a car is more convenient though, and it saves a lot of time. Most of the car rental drivers can help you plan out the most efficient route. Rental cars cost around 700k all in. If you've used Uber or Grab in Bandung before, you can call the driver and ask if he has this kind of service. I did it before. Much cheaper than going to the car rental, around 500-600k.
If you're interested in civet coffee, there is a civet breeding farm in Cikole. Type "Kopi Luwak Cikole" in Google Maps and you can find it. :)
There is also The Lodge Maribaya around the north area. I agree with Hatha, you should at least be in Bandung for two days; one day to explore South and the other to the North.
For local food, the easiest way to get all those under one roof is either Floating Market in Lembang or Paskal Food Market downtown (close to the train station).
Enjoy your trip!

I'm at wits end trying to look for the best way to travel on land from jakarta airport (to avoid bad and long journey) to Bandung hotel...as my flight booking is non refundable...I'm travelling with wife and 3 kids...any suggestions?? I'm staying in Aston Braga hotel & residence for my trip in November 2016.
Written September 28, 2016
Hi Halltige,
Bandung is really nice city for vacation. I do love this city, not too busy and not too big like Jakarta.
Why you don't take direct flight from S'pore to Bandung? it will save your time about 5 hours if you fly through Jakarta and continue your trip to Bandung.
I suggest you to go to Bandung by public bus, PRIMA JASA but they drop off the passengers at their pool in Bandung. So you have to take by local taxi to your hotel.
Otherwise you can go by shuttle mini bus, XTRANS as I know they have executive shuttle mini bus which can drop you to the hotel. The ticket price is more expensive than normal.
I don't suggest you go by train to Bandung, because it is a little bit complicated for the traveler with the kids. Our airport is not integrated directly with Gambir train station. You should take a walk from bus shelter to train station in Gambir.

hi.. im planning to go to bandung. just want to know
1) is there easy to get halal food nearby Hilton Bandung hotel?
2) is there any beach with watersport nearby Hilton Bandung hotel?
3) does the famous shopping area is nearby Hilton Bandung hotel?
Written August 19, 2016
Hello Ahmad, if you stay in Hilton Hotel you can visit Paskal Food Market in the afternoon. They provide various indonesian foods and also halal. and the atmosphere is amazing ;))
Actually, most of indonesian are muslims, so it is really easy to find halal food. halal food is everywhere. the difference between indonesia and other countries is in Indonesia if the food is not halal, there will be a sign of pig or "mengandung babi" in bahasa. if you cant find the pig sign then the food is halal. indonesians have an assumption that most of the food that we can find in public place is halal, so it doesnt need the halal sign (which is make foreigners pretty confused) .
bandung is located near tangkuban perahu mountain, so it has not beach. If you want to try some sport may be you can visit Bandung Tree Top.
Famous shopping center??
favourite shopping center for local and malaysian tourists is pasar baru which is near with Hilton. You can find many things there from the very cheap price up to expensive one.
For arabian tourists, I think Trans studio mall and Cihampelas walk mall are their favourites. You can find branded things there. From Hilton, Trans studio mall will be a bit far, cihampelas walk is much nearer.
I would like to recommend kampung daun and dusun bambu a place you should visit ;)))
Hope you have a good time in Bandung, Ahmad.
