Things to Do  

Volcano

Volcano, Bandung

 7 Reviews  Visited Bandung in early March 2008. The weather in this town is cooling which sits about 700m above sea level. Went on a day trip to Gunung Tangkuban Perahu(also known as the Mountain of the Overturned Boat). If you are into volcanoes and trekking then this is closest you can get to a live... 

Hot Springs

Hot Springs, Bandung

 5 Reviews  It's actually a resort...u can choose to stay here or just take a one day trip since it's also at the same area as Tangkuban Parahu. There's a few ponds here where u can swim or just dip in your feet into the hot water. The place is is quite busy on weekends. The place is really well kept.... 

Shopping

Shopping, Bandung

 6 Reviews  upstairs there's a books shop. it's smaller than normal bookshop but the collection is not bad. mostly fiction. most of the books are indonesian. the price is the same as in other bookshop i think but here you sometimes can still find old books that are not sale anymore in bookshops.

Art Deco, Bandung

 9 Reviews  I have just finished my small research about old streets and buildings in Bandung. I found that Bandung is one of the richest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world.

Kawah Putih

Kawah Putih, Bandung

 4 Reviews  On the way to the White Crater (Kawah PUtih) you will pass by Ciwidey, a strawberry town. More or less like Cameron Highland in Malaysia.

Kampung Daun, Bandung

 2 Reviews  Kampung Daun is located up higher from Bandung downtown. It's an eating place designed as a 'kampung' or small village beside a stream.

Architecture

Architecture, Bandung

 5 Reviews  Bandung is a town full of odd buildings with lots of interesting architectural details. This building for instance has a pink bay window. A pity we had to rush out after dark and couldn't spend more time here!
