Walking-friendly
While Bandung is vast on its own—with highland areas in the north and modern attractions down south, the quintessential city is also blessed with wide concrete pavements for passersby to explore the city by foot. Take its two popular streets for instance—Braga and Asia Afrika Street. Braga is a promenade street that houses chic cafes and restaurants and was once named the “Paris of Java” for its fashion maisons back in the 20s. Nowadays, you can stroll through the breezy road, have a good meal, and marvel at the bright colonial Dutch buildings along the road.
Elsewhere, once known as De Grote Postweg, the Asia Afrika Street was constructed in the 50s for the historic Asean-African conference. The street boasts a plethora of Dutch architectures, like Kantor Pos, Gedung Merdeka, Hotel Savoy Homann, Museum Asia Afrika, among others.
