Surabaya, Indonesia

Surabaya is Indonesia's second-largest city and the capital of the province of East Java. It is located on the northern shore of eastern Java at the mouth of the Mas River and along the edge of the Madura Strait. It is a sprawling city which is modern in appearance, but also offers traces of its past. It is also a gateway for Mount Bromo and Bali.

Attractions in Surabaya include the historical attractions in the ‘Old City’ aea. These include the Ampel Mosque and the Kong Co Kong Tik Cun Ong Temple. There are a number of good museums including the ‘House of Sampoerna’ which showcases the history of the famed ‘Kretek’ cigarettes. The Monumen Kapal Selam (Submarine Monument) is also an interesting attraction.

Surabaya Zoo (Kebun Binatang) is a popular family attraction, as is the appealing stretch of sand better known to holidaymakers as Kenjeran Beach. The water slides at Ciputra Waterpark is fun for children and for adults, a stroll along the mouthwatering Food Street (G-Walk) is a must.
