Unik, 7 Kafe di Bandung Ini Asyik Banget buat Nongkrong Tengah Malam
Kalau ingin menikmati Bandung hingga larut, cobalah sensasi nongkrong di beberapa kafe yang terdapat di Jalan Riau, Bandung. Selain menjajal atmosfernya yang “Bandung banget”, di kafe-kafe yang dikelilingi factory outlet itu memiliki konsep unik.
1. Belwish
Lokasi tepatnya berada di Jalan R.E. Martadinata Nomor 189A. Saat weekend, kafe ini buka sampai pukul 00.00. Belwish merupakan salah satu kafe yang digemari anak-anak muda Bandung.
Di sana, kamu bisa ngobrol langsung dengan mereka, sekaligus menambah teman nongkrong. Yang menarik lagi, harga makanan dan minumannya tak mahal-mahal amat.
Untuk porsi berdua, cukup mengeluarkan kocek kurang lebih Rp 60 ribu. Menu yang ditawarkan umumnya yang ringan-ringan, cocok untuk teman nongkrong, seperti roti bakar dan pisang bakar. Juga kopi-kopian dan minuman lainnya.
2. Bober
Nah, kalau kafe yang satu ini buka 24 jam. Suasananya asik dan klasik, layaknya kafe-kafe model awal 2000-an. Menu yang ditawarkan lebih berat, seperti seblak, sop buntut, kentang goreng, nasi goreng, dan lain-lain.
Yang juara adalah kopi-kopiannya. Biasanya tempat ini makin larut makin ramai. Apalagi kalau weekend. Banyak anak muda Bandung yang merapat ke sini karena tempatnya yang seru dan menu-menunya yang murah. Benar saja, untuk porsi berdua, cukup mengeluarkan kocek sekitar Rp 70-80 ribu.
3. UpNormal
UpNormal memang sudah ada di mana-mana. Tapi, yang paling seru rasanya menyambangi kedai yang di Jalan Riau ini. Selain karena atmosfernya yang muda banget, bersantap malam di UpNormal Jalan Riau membawa kita ke memori Bandung dari waktu ke waktu.
Ketika weekend, kedai ini buka sampai tengah malam, yakni hingga pukul 00.00. Menu yang ditawarkan pun unik-unik. Ada mi instan dengan beragam olahan dan nasi dengan penamaan menu yang tak biasa. Bangunannya cukup luas, sehingga memungkinkan banyak orang tertampung di dalam dan tak perlu lama-lama masuk waiting list.
4. Kopi Anjis
Nama kafe yang buka hingga pukul 00.00 ini memang lucu. Anjis. Kedengarannya seperti luapan ekspresi anak-anak muda masa kini. Kedai Kopi Anjis cocok dipakai nongkrong karena memiliki jumlah kursi yang lumayan banyak dan terbagi atas dua lokasi, yakni indoor dan outdoor. Harga menunya amat murah.
Untuk dua orang, cuma perlu merogoh kocek kurang lebih Rp 50 ribu. Menu makanan dan minuman yang ditawarkan di kafe ini standard, ada susu, cokelat, kopi, dan lainnya. Namun ada yang unik, yakni es atau wedang peuyeum, yang dibanderol cuma Rp 13 ribu.
5. Kopi Progo
Kafe yang satu ini cukup premium. Harga yang dibanderol lumayan lebih tinggi daripada kafe lainnya. Untuk dua orang, perlu merogoh kocek sekitar Rp 100 ribu. Tapi dijamin worth it banget, dengan makanan dan minuman yang disuguhkan.
Menu di kafe ini cukup bervariasi. Ada tomyam dan sejenisnya. Jadi tak melulu pengunjung harus makan roti atau kentang goreng. Tempatnya juga asyik dan yang pasti cocok untuk berlama-lama nongkrong bareng teman.
6. Paris Van Java
Paris Van Java bukan cuma nama tempat perbelanjaan. Di Riau-Bandung, ada pula nama kafe yang bernama demikian. Sesuai dengan namanya, Paris Van Java menawarkan tempat yang cukup premium dengan harga yang lebih mahal daripada di Kopi Progo.
Namun, makanan yang ditawarkan lebih beragam, seperti pasta, steak, juga ada paket breakfast, dan lunch. Kafe ini buka 24 jam, jadi cocok buat traveler yang hendak menghabiskan malam di Bandung tanpa tidur.
7. Kofluck
Kafe ini memang minimalis, hanya ada beberapa bangku dan meja. Meski kecil, punya banyak kelebihan. Selain harganya yang murah, yakni hanya Rp 50 ribu untuk dua orang, kafe ini buka hingga dini hari, yakni pukul 01.00 pagi. Cocok banget dijadikan tempat nongkrong untuk menunggu terang, sambil menikmati kesahajaan Bandung kala petang.
Tahun 2018 ini sepertinya masih akan banyak coffee shop baru yang bermunculan di Bandung. Dilihat dari trend-nya akhir tahun 2017 lalu, coffee shop yang baru lumayan beragam, tidak seperti awal-awal berkembangnya coffee shop Bandung yang kebanyakan punya style serupa: industrial style, minimalis, ruangan tembok putih dan semen dipoles halus.
Meskipun masih di awal tahun 2018, kami sudah menemukan beberapa coffee shop baru yang menarik dan punya karakter tersendiri. Seperti biasa, daftar ini akan selalu di-update sampai akhir tahun nanti.
1. Kopi Atim
Kalau biasanya coffee shop Bandung banyak ngumpul di area-area populer seperti Dago, Jalan Progo, Jalan Riau, kali ini ada tempat ngopi bagus di area ga biasa. Berlokasi di sebuah gang yang ada di salah satu jalanan utama kota Bandung yang seringkali padat di hari biasa, Kopi Atim membawa angin segar untuk orang-orang penyuka kopi.
Lokasi: Gang Atim No.1
Jam buka: hari biasa 08:00 – 20:00, weekend 09:00 – 21:00
Harga kopi: Rp25.000
2. Hara
Waktu berkunjung ke sana, meskipun belum terlalu lama buka, sepertinya tempat ini sudah keburu populer dengan pengunjung yang kebanyakan dari Jakarta. Atau mungkin karena saat itu hari Minggu. Selain restorannya yang besar dan lumayan instagramable, kayaknya alasan lain tempat ini ramai adalah adanya boutique hotel berbentuk container yang ada di lantai atasnya. Tapi buat kami sih tetap yang jadi alasan utama adalah kopinya yang mantap dan makanannya juga sangat memuaskan.
Lokasi: Profesor Soetami 62
Jam buka: 08:00 – 22:00, Jumat & Sabtu sampai 23:30
Harga kopi: Rp30.000
3. The Soko
Cari tempat ngopi yang ramah terhadap pengunjung yang cari minuman non-kopi? The Soko ini memang menyatakan kalau di sini tempat untuk minum kopi, teh atau coklat. Jadinya ga heran kalo menu minumannya terbagi ke dalam 3 kategori tersebut. Tempatnya enak banget buat nongkrong bareng teman-teman karena areanya cukup besar dan hawanya adem.
Lokasi: Jalan Raya Resort Dago Pakar 19
Jam buka: 08:00 – 23:00, Jumat & Sabtu sampai midnight
Harga kopi: Rp28.000
4. Akasya Teras
Buat yang pernah ke Fashion Pasta pasti kenal dengan tempat ini. Masih dengan desain yang hampir sama, tapi dipercantik di teras dan kebunnya, tempat yang dulunya restoran otentik makanan Italia ini bertransformasi jadi Akasya Teras yang menyajikan makanan khas Indonesia dan kopi enak. Tempatnya yang semi outdoor juga bikin suasananya enak buat hang out.
Sebuah coffee shop yang punya karakter unik dengan bangunan tua bergaya kolonial yang masih lumayan otentik, ditambah dengan furnitur yang dekorasi yang sengaja dibuat bernuansa jadul juga. Jauh dari hiruk-pikuk keramaian kota sehingga cocok banget untuk dipakai baca buku ataupun curhat bareng temen. Selain kopi dan minuman non-kopi di sini juga ada makanan ringan maupun makanan berat.
Lokasi: Jalan Tampomas No.22
Jam buka: 09:00 – 22:00
Harga kopi: Rp25.000
6. Spadaa Koffie
Sebagai bagian dari Blue Doors, kualitas kopi yang ditawarkan di Spadaa Koffie ini tidak perlu diragukan lagi. Sayangnya mereka juga memberlakukan aturan “No Sugar on Sunday” seperti di Blue Doors. Atmosfer bangunannya cukup menyenangkan karena agak tersembunyi dari jalanan dan banyak pohon sehingga sejuk. Selain itu semua areanya juga semi outdoor.
Lokasi: Jalan Ternate 5
Jam buka: 07:00 – 23:00 (makanan sampai 21:00)
Harga kopi: Rp30.000
7. Toby’s Estate
Dengar nama Toby’s Estate harusnya jadi jaminan bagus untuk kopi karena Toby’s Estate merupakan salah satu nama besar pemain kopi di Australia. Untuk kopinya memang ternyata tidak mengecewakan dan tergolong kelas dunia. Namun untuk makanannya masih perlu ditingkatkan lagi. Lokasinya yang di dalam sebuah mal bisa jadi positif ataupun negatif tergantung waktu kunjungan.
Lokasi: Lobby Cai, L1, #10-11, Paskal 23
Jam buka: 08:00 – 22:00 (Jumat & Sabtu buka sampai midnight)
Harga kopi: Rp35.000
8. Wheeler’s Coffee
Satu dari beberapa coffee shop yang bernuansa bengkel. Di belakangnya memang ada bengkel mobil dan di dalam coffee shopnya dihiasi dengan dekorasi seputar peralatan bengkel. Kopinya strong dan berkualitas, ada beberapa menu makanan (tapi tidak terlalu banyak). Tempatnya lumayan enak buat nongkrong, ada bagian dalam dan luarnya.
Lokasi: Jalan Veteran 21
Jam buka: Senin-Kamis 07:30 – 21:00, Jumat-Sabtu buka sampai 22:00
Harga kopi: Rp30.000
9. Kuro Koffee
Pertama kali dengar nama Kuro Koffee dari Sasha, pemilik Surga Makan yang juga sama-sama suka ngopi. Bentuknya yang seperti sebuah konter nyempil di pinggir supermarket memang bikin coffee shop ini tidak sepopuler coffee shop trendy lainnya di Bandung. Tapi kami suka banget suasananya dan kopinya juga enak banget.
Lokasi: Jalan Sukaasih 1, Bandung (Di dalam Papaya Supermarket)
Jam buka: 08:00 – 21:00 (Minggu buka dari 10:30)
Harga kopi: Rp25.000
10. Diskus Cafe & Bites
Areanya memang udah keliatan banget di dekat kampus, ga heran kalau sebagian besar pengunjungnya adalah mahasiswa yang lagi ngerjain tugas atau sekedar diskus(i) bareng teman. Tapi yang pasti tempatnya enak buat kerja karena terang, desain interiornya menyenangkan dan selain kopinya enak juga ada pilihan makanan dengan harga sesuai kantong mahasiswa.
Lokasi: Jalan Terusan Babakan Jeruk 1 No. 109-111
Jam buka: 09:30 – 22:00
Harga kopi: Rp18.000
11. Kedai Juru
Tempatnya kecil tapi seru karena banyak pernak-pernik dekorasi yang unik yang berhubungan dengan bengkel (atau lebih tepatnya tukang tambal ban). Atmosfer di sini sangat santai dan jauh dari suasana steril cafe-cafe hipster yang sebagian besar pengunjungnya datang cuma buat foto-foto. Selain kopi dan minuman non-kopi, di sini juga ada makanan dan harganya cukup murah.
Lokasi: Jalan Ambon 9
Jam buka: 10:00 – 22:00
Harga kopi: Rp23.000
12. Sensys
Dengan semakin banyaknya kedai kopi di Bandung, semakin ketat juga persaingannya. Syarat utama sebuah coffee shop yang bagus adalah kopinya enak. Sensys berhasil memenuhi syarat tersebut. Dan satu lagi yang paling diingat dari Sensys adalah harganya yang murah. Bolehlah mampir ke sini kalau sedang ada di daerah tersebut atau lagi sekalian mau makan sate.
Lokasi: Jalan Ambon 18
Jam buka: 08:00 – 22:00
Harga kopi: Rp20.000
13. Goutte Coffee & Tea
Coffee shop ini jadi salah satu tenant yang ada di Taman Tengah. Atmosfernya enak banget buat nongkrong santai. Cuma memang agak sepi karena banyak tenant lainnya yang tutup dan kadang jam buka coffee shop ini pun ga tepat. Pernah kami ke sana di jam buka tapi ternyata ga buka. Tidak ada makanan, cuma ada kopi manual brew dan minuman non-kopi lainnya.
Lokasi: Jalan Wira Angun-angun (Taman Tengah)
Jam buka: 11:00 – 21:00, Jumat buka dari 13:00
Harga kopi: Rp18.000
14. Black Ground Cafe & Eatery
Coffee shop ini lokasinya ada di depan area cuci mobil, jadi bisa sekalian nunggu mobilnya dicuci sambil ngopi-ngopi. Areanya lumayan besar baik yang di dalam ruangan maupun yang di depan (smoking area). Kopinya enak dan ada banyak menu makanannya juga. Banyak meja yang enak buat dipake kerja laptopan dan yang pasti internetnya kencang.
Kalau cari tempat nongkrong yang sedia kopi enak, U&KL ini udah paling bener. Di sini fokusnya adalah sedia kopi enak yang harganya terjangkau. Sebagian besar area duduknya ada di depan alias smoking area. Cuma ada 1 meja di dalam dan itu pun bukan ruangan AC tertutup karena berbagi jalan masuk dengan distro yang ada di sebelahnya.
Semakin banyak coffee shop yang mulai bermunculan di daerah Bandung Timur, salah satunya Marka Coffee yang menurut kami agak mirip dengan Aditi Coffee House baik dari segi lokasi maupun penampakan dari luar. Selain kopinya yang enak dan makanannya yang lumayan menarik, tempat ini populer karena lumayan instagrammable.
Lokasi: Jalan Talaga Bodas 32
Jam buka: 08:00 – 21:00 (Sabtu sampai 22:00)
Harga kopi: Rp25.000
17. 9/1/1 Coffee Lab
Tiap coffee shop tentunya punya alasan tersendiri kenapa bisa disukai oleh orang-orang. Ada yang karena tempatnya instagrammable, ada yang karena selain kopinya enak makanannya juga enak. Coffee shop yang satu ini sangat populer karena kopinya enak dan murah. Tempatnya sangat casual dan agak kecil, tapi atmosfernya enak dipake nongkrong.
Lokasi: Jalan Halmahera 2
Jam buka: setiap hari 08:00 – 23:00
Harga kopi: Rp16.000
18. U Coffee
Karena bentuknya yang tampak kecil dari luar, coffee shop ini tidak terlalu mencolok dan mungkin sering terlewat. Namun kalau sudah dikunjungi ternyata tempatnya lumayan luas karena ada lantai atas dan bangunan sebelah. Selain kopinya mantap, di sini juga ada berbagai pilihan makanan dengan harga terjangkau.
Lokasi: Jalan Lombok 10
Jam buka: 08:00 – 22:00
Harga kopi: Rp23.000
19. Lazy Lolla
Nama Lazy Lolla ini mungkin cukup terkenal karena sering dipromosikan oleh sebagian besar food blogger Bandung. Namun saat kami ke sana menurut kami ada banyak yang masih bisa diperbaiki. Makanan ataupun kopinya lumayan enak, tapi belum menunjukkan kekhasan yang bisa bikin kami mau balik lagi.
Lokasi: Jalan Anggrek 29
Jam buka: 10:00 – 23:00
Harga kopi: Rp22.000
20. Please Please Please
Dari sekitar 2 tahun yang lalu sering dengar nama Please Please Please dan kayaknya memang tempat ini hype banget khususnya untuk para ‘Jakartans’. Meskipun ketinggalan tren, tapi harusnya tempat yang bagus akan tetap bagus untuk waktu yang lama, bukan cuma awalnya saja. Please Please Please ini bernuansa cafe yang kopi dan makanannya cukup enak, tapi tempatnya menurut kami agak kurang terang dan agak kurang maintained.
Lokasi: Jalan Progo 37
Jam buka: 07:00 – 22:00, Jumat & Sabtu buka sampai 23:00
Harga kopi: Rp28.000

Bandung merupakan Ibukota provinsi Jawa Barat. Kota ini selalu menarik minat wisatawan baik domestik maupun internasional dengan wisata kuliner, wisata belanja dan wisata alamnya. Tempat wisata di Bandung yang beragam banget, membuat wisatawan ngga bakal kehabisan ide tempat buat dikunjungi.
Itu sebabnya, kota ini jadi salah satu tujuan wisata utama di jawa barat saat liburan. Letaknya yang terbilang cukup dekat dengan Jakarta, membuatnya menjadi tempat wisata favorit warga ibukota. Hal ini juga dipermudah dengan adanya jalan tol Cipularang yang memangkas waktu tempuh Jakarta-Bandung menjadi kurang lebih 2-3 jam.
Transportasi menuju kota Bandung juga tidaklah sedikit, wisatawan bisa menggunakan jasa travel, kereta api maupun bis antar kota dan provinsi untuk sampai ke kota ini.
Lembang berada di kawasan utara Bandung. Secara administratif, Lembang ini termasuk Bandung Barat lho..tepatnya kecamatan Lembang. Hanya saja memang lebih mudah dicapai dari kota Bandung.
Kawasan Bandung Utara merupakan area dataran tinggi yang sudah dikenal keindahannya. Lembang merupakan area pusat keramaian di Bandung utara, sekaligus pusat wisata disini. Ketinggian rata-rata disini sekitar 1300 dpl, sehingga udaranya sejuk.
Jika menggunakan mobil, sekarang lebih mudah dan cepat setelah adanya Tol Soroja. Anda tinggal masuk tol, menuju ke tol soroja, dan keluar di Soreang, dekat dengan kantor Pemkab Bandung. Dari sini, tinggal mengikuti jalan ke arah Ciwidey.
Jika menggunakan motor, bisa melalui rute jalan kopo – Soreang – Ciwidey – Rancabali.
Anda juga bisa menggunakan angkutan umum, hanya saja waktu tempuhnya lebih lama. Anda bisa naik Elf atau mobil L300 dari terminal Leuwi Panjang menuju ke terminal Ciwidey. Dari sana disambung dengan angkot ke arah Rancabali.
Menurut pendapat saya sih, lebih direkomendasikan menggunakan kendaraan pribadi atau sewa (mobil/motor). Angkutan umum di area Rancabali – Ciwidey rada sulit, akan lebih mudah menjelajahi tempat wisata menggunakan kendaraan pribadi.

Awe-inspiring Angklung performances from the kids, left with my mouth hanging opened on how great, serious and passionate they were about their craft. Lucky us, we were able to learn on how to play the Angklung as one of the sons of the founder taught us on how to properly shake the instrument (body shaking is a no no). And as the program ends, you get to dance with all the kids and party to the tune of the happy melodies. With no doubt, a day spent in Saung Angklung Udjo is definitely one of the best things to do in Bandung!

Although the oldest written reference to the city dates back to 1488, there were numerous archaeological finds of Australopithecus (Java Man) that lived on the banks of Cikapundung river and the shores of Bandung’s Great Lake.
In the 17th-18th century, the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) created small plantations in Bandung, with a road to Batavia (today’s Jakarta) completed in 1786. In 1809, Louis Bonaparte, the ruler of the Netherlands and its colonies, ordered the Dutch Indies Governor H.W. Daendels to improve Java’s defenses against the threat of the English, who occupied the nearby Malay peninsula. Daendels responded by building the Great Post Road (De Groote Postweg) that stretched about 1000 km between the west and the east coasts of Java. Because north coast was in the form of impassable swamps and marshes at the time, the road was diverted through Bandung along what is now Jalan Asia-Afrika.
Daendels liked Bandung’s strategic location so much that he ordered the capital to be moved there. Military barracks were built and Bupati Wiranatakusumah II, the chief administrator of that area, built his dalem (palace), Masjid Agung (the grand mosque) and pendopo (meeting place) in the classical Javan alun-alun (city square) near a pair of holy city wells (Sumur Bandung) and facing the mystical mountain of Tangkuban Perahu.
Powered by its cinchona (for malaria drug quinine), tea, and coffee plantations, Bandung prospered and developed into an exclusive European style resort with hotels, cafes, and shops. Many of Bandung landmarks, including the Preanger and Savoy Homann hotels, as well as the shopping street of Jalan Braga, are still available today. The Concordia Society building, now Gedung Merdeka, was built with a large ball room as a club for rich Europeans to spend their weekends.
In 1880, the first major railroad between Jakarta to Bandung opened, boosting small industries and bringing in Chinese workers. The first of Bandung universities, the Technische Hogeschool (TH) was established on July 3rd, 1920. One of the its alumni members is President Soekarno himself. That university is now known as the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB)
In 1942, after Japanese soldiers landed in coastal areas of Java, the Dutch retreated from Jakarta to Bandung, but were driven out from there as well and surrendered soon after. After the end of the war, first the British and later the Dutch came back trying to reestablish the pre-war colonial situation, but on March 24, 1946, during the struggle for Indonesian independence, the city of Bandung was burned down by retreating forces of the TRI, because they would not comply with the order given by the British forces to move out of Bandung to the south (Bandung Sea of Fire/Bandung Lautan Api). For the TRI this act was a sign of refusal to surrender. Over 200,000 people fled the city during the incident.
In 1955, the Asia Africa Conference (Konferensi Asia Afrika) was held in Bandung, paving the way for the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. The Indonesian parliament was located in Bandung from 1955 to 1966, but was moved back to Jakarta in 1966.
Orientation
Today’s Bandung is a sprawling city of 2.7 million people and suffers from many of the same problems as other Indonesian cities. Traffic is congested, old buildings have been torn down, and once idyllic residences have turned into business premises.
Jalan Asia-Afrika, the former Grote Postweg, still remains as one of Bandung’s main thoroughfares and connects together the alun-alun (city square) with many of the city’s colonial landmarks.
Please refer to the district map of Bandung: the most important district for tourist majority are located in north of Bandung. The easiest landmark for your orientation is the north/south border by the railway and or the new Pasupati elevated road. Once you identify whether you are located north or south of Bandung, identify the area immediately, the landmark will be the major road in the intended district/area and the major building / tourist attraction on that road. Discuss using compass direction (north/east/west/south) of that major building / major road. Since Bandung is not organized in blocks, this is the way local organize themselves and is a very effective way to discuss way to go with local.
Road in bahasa Indonesia is translated into Jalan and abbreviated into Jl.; this applies to all kind of road from small road to major road. You will see a lot of Jl. in front of the road name in this guide. Very small road that cannot by passed by car is called Gang and abbreviated into Gg.
Get in
Bandung is located in the central highlands. It can be reached from Jakarta either via the toll road or by airplane. When using the road, there are many small buses connecting Jakarta and Bandung. An alternative to the toll road is the winding and mountainous roads through Puncak (=Peak). The route through Puncak is quite scenic but on weekends and public holidays the traffic is congested.
By Plane
Bandung’s Husein Sastranegara (IATA: BDO) airport has a difficult location among the mountains and has only limited services with narrow-body airplanes. The airport is located at the end of Pajajaran Street, 4 km from the centre of the city. There’s no metered taxi available from bandung airport. The official taxi of the airport didn’t use meter and will only served once you had a taxi ticket (the ticket shown the amount you have to pay to the driver) which can be bought at the taxi booth near the international arrival exit gate, they charges minimum of Rp 40.000 (about US$ 5). Most hotels provide a free airport transfer services.

Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta airport is about 3 hours away (plus any traffic jams). A number of companies offer direct shuttle services; see the next section for details.
Travelers arriving direct into Bandung airport will find that it is very close to the city. Taxi fares are fixed at Rp42,000 to most parts of the city. Buy the ticket at the counter because when you ask the “mafia” controlled taxis nearby, they will quote you Rp70,000. The fixed price is still a rip off as the taxi fare from our airport at Bandung SuperMal to the airport, in the morning only cost us Rp30,000. It’s a monopoly contracted out to only one taxi company.
If you’re early at the airport, check-in and walk out of the airport to a small cafe across that road that serves hot noodles, kway teow and tea for half the price you’ll pay for it inside the airport (again another monopoly).
By Bus
Bus services connect Bandung and smaller surrounding cities. Several long-route buses are also available from major big cities. The most convenient way is the air-conditioned bus with the express or non-stop tag. The main bus terminals in Bandung are Leuwipanjang, serving buses from the west (Bogor, Jakarta, Merak, Pandeglang, Tangerang, Depok, Bekasi, Cikarang, Cibinong and Sukabumi.) and Cicaheum, serving buses from the east (Cirebon, Garut, Tasikmalaya, Banjar, Pangandaran, Indramayu, central Java cities, eastern Java cities and also from Bali Island).
By Shuttle Bus
With 6-12 seater minivans leaving every fifteen minutes up to every 1 to 2 hours depends on the providers, the shuttle bus market between Jakarta and Bandung is fiercely competitive. Roughly speaking, services can be categorised as either door to door in a chartered car or van that takes your group exactly where you want to go, for around US$50-75, or point to point from a terminal to another, for under US$10. Many companies offer both. Most shuttle providers use Isuzu Elf minivan (similar with Toyota Hiace, but bigger & more spacious) and some companies offer more luxurious options using Toyota Alphard or Hyundai H-1 with a higher fare and distinct routes, but some routes are deleting, because the high price fare after high increase of diesel fuel made consumers use lower grade of shuttle bus.

By Car
Bandung is two hours away from Jakarta by car, thanks to the new Cipularang toll road that completes the inter-city highway between Jakarta and Bandung. It is now faster to travel to Bandung by car than by train from Jakarta.
During the rainy season, parts of the Cipularang toll road may be closed because of landslides. On weekends, traffic jams often occur near the toll gates in the Djunjunan/Terusan Pasteur area.
One alternative route is by the slower, but enjoyable, route from Jakarta – Puncak – Cianjur – Bandung. If you travel by car using this route, then make sure to stop at the Puncak Pass, the tip of the highland just on the outskirts of Jakarta. From here, the view of tea plantation with fresh air can be enjoyed. There are plenty of good restaurants and hotels out there.
There is also a beautiful safari park/zoo in Puncak: Taman Safari Indonesia, Jl. Raya Puncak No.601, Cisarua, Bogor. ☎ +62 251 250 000, Fax +62 251 250555.
By Train
State operator PT Kereta Api Indonesia offers frequent services between Jakarta and Bandung, as well as connections onward to Surabaya. Even the fastest services take more than three hours, making this a slower option than the shuttle buses, but the scenery between Jakarta and Bandung is beautiful. The railroad passes mountains and padi terraces. Don’t miss this view when traveling by train. Use the AC (air-conditioned) coach if you cannot cope with the tropical heat. Most hotels in Bandung provide free transportation from train station to the hotel.
Unlike other countries, Indonesia do not use number for their train service. As a rule of thumb, the highest standard will be given by ‘Argo’ class train.
The ticket can be bought online or you can get only the booking code and pay at the stations, post offices, train ticket agents, Indomaret group, Alfamart group and Railcard & Railbox. You can also directly buy tickect without booking code at these online ticket distributors.
Get Around
Travelling around in Bandung is quite complex and frustrating, especially to newcomers. There is no mass rapid transit system, metro nor tram in Bandung. Locals travel using small public minibuses, known as angkot from angkutan=transport and kota=city.
By Angkot
This city transport has only origin and destination names on top. Sometimes with via description if there are more than one angkot route for a certain origin-destination route. There is no route description anywhere. For locals, it is somewhat amazing that they only memorize where and how the route of each angkot route.
Although there is an official price for angkot from organda (the local organization of these private city transport), sometimes price is based on how far you travel. It’s better that you ask the driver or kernet (driver assistance) about the price to go to a location. To ask for an angkot to stop and pick you up, just raise your hand and they will stop. When you’re inside and want to stop, just ask the kernet to stop. Or say ‘kiri’ (key-ree) or simply ‘stop’ out loud. It was easy to find a bell that you can press to stop but not anymore. Most angkot fare are ranging from Rp 2000-5000, it depends on the route and distance.
The official angkot routes are listed on Bandung’s Info Kota website . A local startup KIRI computes which angkot to take when getting around the city.
An unofficial, yet very helpful, website is Mau Kemana, which literally means something like “Where are you going?”. It shows the actual routes with Angkot prices .
By Taxi
If you don’t know which angkot routes to take, then you can take a taxi. Officially, taxis use meters, but some taxi drivers may refuse to use meters and will charge you a fixed price instead. Don’t be afraid to refuse and walk away, even locals are annoyed by this behaviour. Metered cabbies may also take you the long way to get more money. So be careful when traveling by taxi. The most reliable taxi company in Bandung is Blue Bird. Bluebird drivers will almost always use the most appropriate route and will always use the meter. Competing directly in the premium range with Blue Bird, Cipaganti Taxi has started their operation with a red colored car. Gemah Ripah is a third ranking taxi service that seems to be improving their service.
In Bandung, taxis are less common waiting on roadsides, due to the multitude of small roads and lack of space to wait. For this reason, ordering a taxi by phone is usually the simplest and safest bet. The taxi will drive up directly in front of you (ask for its number on the phone for identification), and there is no extra charge (sans a cheap cancellation fee, if necessary).
Alternatively, ask a uniformed security guard or policeman nearby to either flag down a nearby taxi, or point in the direction of a nearby taxi waiting area.
Taxi drivers off the street, or booked by telephone are usually polite and friendly, chosing to charge you by meter but watch out for those mentioned below.
Do allow lots of travel time in Bandung, although the city is small. A short trip that is about 8km will take you 45 min to an hour through the heavy traffic during peak times (morning 8-9am, evening 5-6pm). A short trip from Dago factory outlet areas to The Valley just a few km up north took almost 50minwhen travelling at 6pm.
List of Taxi companies in Bandung:
4848, Jl. Suniaraja Tmr 39. ☎ +62 22 4234848. Reliable, good service on Bandung to Jakarta route.
Bandung Raya, Jl. Dr Setiabudi 177. ☎ +62 22 201 4018.
Blue Bird, Jl. Terusan Buah Batu 194. ☎ +62 22 7561234. Good reputation and reliable, this is the premium taxi company in Indonesia. Call center employees can speak English.
Centris Taxi, Jl. Soekarno-Hatta 606-A. ☎ +62 22 7512100. Branch of Centris Taxi company in Jakarta.
Most are trustworthy but watch out for those who wait near shopping centers and infront of hotels (except approved by the hotel), they will charge you a flat fee, refusing to take you for less. One example is taxis waiting outside “Chi Plaza” where they only take fixed fare passenger.
By Bus
There are also some bus lines, but they don’t cover the whole city. City buses usually cover long routes across the city from end-to-end; for example, from the north to the south and from the west to the east. The city bus is called DAMRI.
By Car
Using your own car or renting a car is probably the easiest and the most convenient way to travel around Bandung and surrounds. If you don’t have a valid driving licence, then you can also rent a car with a chauffeur, which is very common for western travelers. Perhaps it is even better to rent a car from Jakarta. You can stop for one night in Puncak, Bogor or Sukabumi.
Rental cars are available from numerous outlets, including major international brands. Note that traffic in Bandung is quite complex and the city administration likes to experiment with the traffic management. There is often a lack of traffic signs and directions. Many major roads are one-way, which makes it difficult to turn around if you are lost. Be careful not to enter a street that may a one-way street from the opposite direction but be lacking a prominent no-entry sign. There may be a watchful policeman hiding somewhere, he will pop up instantly to stop you and then you may have to pay him some money.
A lot of car rent at Bandung are scattered. Diaz Travelindo is one from many local rent car company at Bandung you can use. Car rental for travel within Bandung jakarta is about Rp350,000 per day (12 hr), or Rp500,000 (12 hr) for travel outside Bandung e.g. to Tangkuban Perahu volcanic area.
Architectural Jewels
There were many buildings built in a classic Dutch colonial style during the late 18th and early 19th century. The locals referred to this time as the Bandoeng tempo doeloe (old Bandung) era. The art-deco style was very popular throughout the earlier half of the 20th century and the city and it’s suburbs retain many fine examples of these architectural styles. The city administration has a tendency to lean toward a modern style throughout the city with many of the more recent bridges, banks, malls and commercial areas. However many of the historical buildings have conservation orders and there are some very well preserved and maintained examples of the colonial era architecture to be seen. The non-profit organization Bandung Heritage Society [16] has been formed recently to assist in endeavours to further preserve the city’s historic buildings.
Make sure you see these buildings before they’re gone.

Stop if you need a break, give it a miss if you do not.
Go to the Mt. Tangkuban Perahu. Go circling around Kawah Ratu (Queen’s crater) to see the volcanic activity closely. There are other craters: Kawah Upas and Kawah Domas.

Alun-alun Bandung or city square. Alun-alun is the classical central core of the democratic city in Indonesia, since the 15th century. It is typically a square of grass field with 4 sides are the city major residence, pendopo (a place to meet between citizens and the government), a mosque and a prison. The grand mosque is still visible, though it has been renovated 7 times. Now, it has undergone a major renovation and expansion with two 81 m high minarets and a Taj Mahal interior design. The pendopo is also still there, behind a high wall. The prison has been transformed into a mall with one block is preserved as a museum, a cell block where Soekarno, the first president of Indonesia, spent some time in there. The major transition is that now alun-alun serves as an entertainment park, where shopping mall buildings are surrounding the square.
Bandung Zoo, Jl. Kebun Binatang No. 6. ☎ +62 22 2502770. Built in 1930.
Mt. Tangkuban Perahu. Is on the northern side of Bandung, the closest city is Lembang. (Angkot route: St. Hall-Lembang). You can see it from a distance at many places in Bandung but a tour to Bandung will not be complete without visiting the crater. If you are in Bandung, take a look towards the north keeping an eye out for a mountain of unusual shape. The name itself comes from the local legend of Sangkuriang (“Legenda Sangkuriang”) The legend is based upon a disobedient son who kicks his boat upside-down and was then transformed into stone. Hence the name of this mountain. Tangkubanflipped and perahu boat. It is still an active volcanic mountain. The crater is reachable by car and it is fun to do hiking to the top by foot from Lembang. Elevation is 2,084 m above sea level and the path from Lembang is not too steep. At the crater, there is a tourist spot. Near the main crater is another amazing site, ‘Kawah Upas’, where you stand between two big craters, to the left and to the right. Entrance fee to the park is Rp 50,000 for foreigners . When you reach Tangkuban Perahu, the first thing you’ll see (and most popular) is the main crater (Kawah Ratu). One crater is dormant, but has a side vent that emits some smoke. The scenery below the mountain is worth a visit. But don’t stop there. Many viitors miss this but it’s probably the best part of Tangkuban Perahu.
Getting to Tangkuban PerahuFrom Bandung Indah Plaza (BIP), take an ‘angkot’ heading to “CICAHEUM – LEDENG”. The angkot will stop at Terminal Ledeng (Rp 3,000). From the terminal, take a mini van or ‘Elep’ towards Subang and get down at Tangkuban Perahu (Rp 12,000). From the entrance of Tangkuban Perahu, it’s another 4-5 km hike up on a really bad road. You can often hire a local ‘motorcycle cab’ (local drivers are often waiting nearby) to take you up. If you can ride a motorcycle, it’s a lot easier to rent one to get there.In 2012, several times Tangkuban Perahu is suddenly closed by so many vendors whom don’t want to organize and everyone want to be a vendor without any regulation at Tangkuban Perahu and even they want to operate all the Tangkuban Perahu site area by themself.Juanda Forest Park or Dago Pakar (Taman Hutan Raya ir. H. Juanda). It is a forest park and serves as a water reservoir catchment area for the city. There are some interesting parks for children or to have a picnic. There are also some old WWII caves used during the Japanese occupation in the 1940s. Some people walk through the forest to reach Maribaya park in Lembang. This is at the end of Jalan Dago. The Angkot routes are Abd. Muis-Dago and followed by walking or take a ride by motorcycle.Puncrut-Lembang Hiking trail. Started from Puncrut, Jl. Kiputih, North Bandung.There are guided tours to Perahu, but charges are Rp250,000 per person (including entrance charges), so if you are 2 persons or more, it is worth hiring a car for about Rp500,000 for the day (entrance charges are extra).
Kawah Domas. A 30 min walk from Kawah Ratu, trek 1.3 km down to Kawah Domas to get upclose and personal with volcanic activity. It is compulsory to hire a registered guide to walk you down to this active crater. They will charge Rp 250,000/hr. To visit the Kawah Domas and walk to the car park at Kawah Domas down the hill from Kawah ratu is approx 1 hr 30 min. It will be more if you indulge in mud massages, egg boiling or similar. Walk around Kawah Ratu on your own and only then get a guide if you feel you need one. Take note that the people selling tourist items will possibly hassle you. Politely tell them not to follow if you are not going to buy anything. Tourists are often pestered to retain a guide or to buy souvenirs. After finishing you do not need to walk back to Kawah ratu which makes life much easier. The walk to Kawah Domas looks like hell on earth and it is a must-do experience with bubbling mud, boiling hot water and hissing sulphur vapour. You can smell the sulfur, watch the hot water springs very closely or even buy a boiled egg cooked on the hot surface.Now there is an alterntive way to go Kawah Domas in less pain and without guide. After seeing Kawah Ratu, go down the mountain to parkir Kawah Domas (the Kawah Domas car park). Walk from here to Kawah Domas. You will still have to pay for the registered guide cpstomg Rp250,000 to enter to Kawah Domas. The walk is less tiring than the walk down from Kawah ratu, this may be better for the less fit.
Buy
Shopping for clothing and accessories is the main reason many weekend visitors travel from Jakarta. Many items are less expensive than in Jakarta. Denim (jeans) stores are along Jl. Cihampelas. These became very popular in the 90s with unique facades built to attract people. The more up-market fashion stores include the many emporiums on Jl. Dago and Jl. Riau. Sisa exports (rejected export products), and factory outlets are prolific and have a very wide range of export quality items. These are sometimes available in the larger sizes that may be suitable for some visitors. A new trend are the distro (distribution outlets). Luxury labels are often available but for those the extensive upmarket malls in Jakarta may be more suitable with a much larger range, however they are often more expensive.

Factory outlets
During the quality inspection, some of the products may have been been rejected, or the local manufacturers may have overrun their production quota. These residual products are sold with sisa export tags, because they were made for export. Some of these items have Grade A (best quality, but overrun product) or Grade B (export quality, but do not pass QC) qualities. Don’t be surprised to see made in Korea or made in Singapore in their tags. Sometimes you will see the original price, such as US$65, but they may sell it for Rp 45,000, a fraction of the list price in the destination market.
Enjoy bargain hunting but make a careful inspection yourself. Check for below-standard/damaged items. Beware also for the fake products with branded name. The shops often have a wide range of modern contemporary styles and accessories. Some stores may have a small food court.

Distros (distribution outlets)
Distros are a new phenomenon in Bandung where a shop sells stylish products that were made by local designers. They are served as a distribution store, because these local designers do not have their own marketing label yet. The products that are sold are books, indie label records, magazines and also fashion products and accessories. After their products receive large attention they may then release their own clothing label. There are more than 200 local brand names in Bandung. One thing that makes distros stand out from factory outlet is that distros come from individual designers and young entrepeneurs, while factory outlet products come from a garment factory.
Note that now distros are getting famous in Indonesia. The local branded name with free and independent motivation has been shifted. Be careful when buying in distros as the prices are increasing to a level almost the same as at boutique shops.
