Destination Surabaya: an Indonesian mix of nature ethnicity and urbanity

Java
Surabaya

Dynamic Indonesia welcomes all tourists and travel fanatics into its impressive "City of Heroes" Surabaya, the second largest metropolis in the country and capital of East Java Province. Since its elevation in 1293, when the first king of the city, Raden Wijaya, emerged victorious from the supreme power of Chinese troops, Surabaya remains a symbolic name in Indonesian history. Surabaya offers a wealth of attractions, a blend of history, customs and modern urban culture, while being prized for its spectacular natural beauty and generosity.

During your trip to this impressive and historic capital of Indonesia you will surely be surprised how big the Surabaya is for its tourists and their citizens. Gorgeous white-sand beaches along the coastal waters of this port city enhance aesthetics, while bold activities can be practiced for all adventure lovers around the world. The main beach, Kenjeran Beach, is one of the most beautiful attractions in the city. It attracts travelers with its picturesque beauty and countless water sports such as surfing, sailing, swimming and fishing. And if you want to be pampered amidst this sunny atmosphere, sunbathe without giving up on countless gourmet restaurants and seaside restaurants.

If you go to the heroic city where the Battle of Surabaya is still high, you can not miss the legion of monuments, mosques and historic buildings that enhance your ethnic culture and give Surabaya a special aura. One of those insurmountable memories is the Tugu Pahlawan or the Heroic Monument, which rises 50 meters with its unique colossal nail structure to honor the courageous soldiers martyred in the bloody war. If you want to shed light on this war, the exhibition that is taking place nearby will change you in the days of the battle on board.

Bring your kids to one of the most charming places in the city and the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia: the Surabaya Zoo, known as Kebun Bonbin. The zoo, open to the public daily from 7am to 5pm, is an exciting experience. The variety of animals: orangutans, elephants, giraffes, tigers, crocodiles, bears, camels and strange Komodo dragons make your day a pleasure.

The unconditional religious aspect of Surabaya is reflected in thousands of mosques and relics that stand out for their unique charisma. Surabaya actually has the only synagogue in the country. The Great Mosque and the Cheng-H Mosque are two symbolic names in the religious history of the city. On a cultural level, outstanding museums and monuments worship their rich traditions, customs and festivals. Whether the Veva Jaya Mahe Jales monument glorifying the Indonesian navy, the Monkasel or the underwater monument or the heroic monument, with each building you can see a completely different aspect of the city's culture.

Gourmets and gourmands should not visit the city's famous G Street, the G-Walk, on their journey. The G-Walk in Citraland is the perfect place for anyone who wants to cook in the restaurants and snack bars with Asian, Western and Chinese specialties of all kinds filling the surroundings with their divine flavors. If you stay overnight, you also do not want to leave the vibrant nightlife and lively atmosphere of young G-Walk.
