With a rich abundance of art deco buildings to serve as a reminder of the city’s colonial past, the metropolis of Bandung is the capital of West Java province. Set amid volcanoes and tea plantations, this bustling city is an excellent shopping destination – ‘Jeans Street’ and the plethora of local factory shops attract visitors from all over. Alternatively, take in some culture at the various theatres and museums. Day trips to local volcanoes, hot springs, and tea plantations are easy to organise – be sure not to miss the striking Kawah Putih volcano lake.
