Bandung is the capital of West Java, Indonesia.

It is located on a higher elevation about 180 kms southeast of Jakarta. There's a connecting flight from Jakarta or Bali to Bandung, but it is more fun to get to the city by land. Either you drive or take a train you'll be entertained with views of ricefields, rivers, and small towns in West Java.

The mountain range that surrounds Bandung adds to the cooler climate of the city compared to other places in tropical Indonesia. Bandung hosts a wide range of natural scenery, including massive tea plantations, dormant volcanoes, and hot springs. Bandung is also well known for Sundanese arts and folklore. While you can enjoy Bandung natural and historic places during the day, you can certainly kick back and relax in the evening with Bandung's irresistible nightlife. Both travelers and residents are fans of the variety of food in Bandung.
