Bandung rewards its visitors with cool nights, breathtaking volcanoes, superb Sundanese food and nightlife to rival that found in Jakarta. Bandung sits on a plateau 800m above sea level. Bandung is drier than Bogor and much cooler than Jakarta. Bandung is surrounded by a ring of volcanic mountains with Papandayan to the south and the mighty Tangkuban Perahu dominating the Northern skyline. 

Tangkuban Perahu is 'volcano made easy' as you can drive all the way to the crater rim from Bandung. No need for hour long treks to look into the heart of fire. New Zealenders will find the smell of sulphur familiar. Visit Ciater Hot Springs after dark. Crisp mountain air whilst soaking in a hot spring is as close as you can get to heaven. 

Bandung is also the fashion capital of Indonesia. No trip to Bandung is complete without a quick trip to Rumah Mode or Heritage , the 2 best stocked factory outlets. Fashion in Bandung is stylish, high quality and at a price that would bring a smile to folks back home. Jalan Cihampelas is 'Jeans Street' where shops entice you to enter using 5 m high effigies from kitschy Rambos to Spiderman figurines. Jalan Dago and Jalan Riau are the factory outlet centre's. 

Jalan Braga and the stately Savoy Homan Hotel retain its Art Deco architecture when Bandung was the getaway for the Dutch colonials retreating from the heat of Jakarta. Bandung was the site of the first Asian African conference,and the conference hall is now a small museum. The old cafes along Braga allow you to eat creamed puffs, klappentaarts , and sip your lattes in a bygone era. 

Bandung has alot of night life. Sundown brings Jalan Braga to life . The junction at the north end has a range of Dangdut discos, rock joints and lively bars and drinking holes playing Top 40s. Try Classic Rock, Rumpoet, Escobar and Violet for a night out. 

For more cultural pursuits check out an angklung performance and Jaipongan dance. Bandung is the centre of Sundanese culture. Angklung show's a held at Pak Ujo Saung Angklung and you can watch Wayang Golek,Jaipongan,Pencak Silat and Ketoprak at the Rumentang Siang art Center.
