Place of interest in Bandung
1. Setiabudi Area – Visit the famous Paris Van Java Mall and Rumah Mode Factory Outlet
If you’re in Bandung, you can’t miss Paris Van Java mall.
The name of the mall itself is in Dutch, as the city of Bandung was referred to as the ‘Paris of Java’. It houses some well-known brands, such as Fossil, Guess, Adidas, H&M, Zara and Mango (but they are retail outlets, not factory outlets) – but certainly not where you’d look for an authentic Bandung experience or cheaper buys.
Photo via: kotawisataindonesia
But if you’re going there with kids, they will love playing with rabbits, sheep, lamb and cows at the rooftop farm!
If you’re looking for something more affordable, you must drop by Rumah Mode, one of the best factory outlets in Bandung. The place is spacious and there are several ATM machines located in the premises, as well as a restaurant. How convenient!
Photo via: Pixie Image, Liautama
Just like Cihampelas, the Setiabudi area can get very crowded during weekends and during public holidays. So here’s a few hotels that are near the area, so you can just walk to your shopping place!
2. Riau area – Shop ‘Til Broke at Factory Outlets and Pasar Baru
Riau is another popular shopping spot among tourists – it’s where you can find rows of factory outlets on the both sides of the road. This is where you can hunt for cheap branded goods at a fraction of a price compared to in other cities!
Photo via: lifeislikethat, bandungtrends, varietyzone mrvica
Bandung Factory Outlets: Heritage, Secrets, Grande, Formen
While you’re there, don’t forget to visit the Pasar Baru Trade Centre (known just as Pasar Baru) too. This is where you can get even cheaper clothes, compared to the factory outlets, though not all clothes at Pasar Baru have brands.
Photo via: Lkhlasul Amal, Amrufm, Aditya Fajar
Pasar Baru is also known for having a majorly huge selection of fashion textiles of all sorts.
But tourists beware – if the vendors in Pasar Baru know that you are not a local, they will mark up the price! So be sure to it bargain down.
You may get a discount if you buy several things from the same shop, and even if you don’t, just ask. Bargain, bargain, and bargain!
Besides shopping, you can also drop by interesting themed restaurants, such as Nanny’s Pavillon and Karnivor. How can you miss all these cool cafes while in Bandung?
3. Lembang – Indulge in lush greenery and fresh air
Lembang may not be a shopping destination, but it is a very popular must-go for visitors to Bandung – as an escape from the city, it’s just an hour’s drive away from the central of Bandung.
While you are here, you would definitely not want to miss Dusun Bambu Family Leisure Park. Dusun Bambu is an ideal place to spend the weekend with your loved ones, family or friends – here, you can find everything (literally), from villa accommodations to camps to activities like biking or adventure games for kids.

This is where the famous Tangkuban Perahu mountain is located. In there, the smell of sulphur is pretty strong, as the volcano is still active. But the beautiful and breathtaking views that you can get from the mountain is a guarantee that will make you forget completely about the pungent smell.
While you’re in the area, you can visit strawberry farms – there’s quite a few where you can pick as much as you want with a small basket.
4. Kawah Putih/Ciwidey – Marvel at Crater Lake beauty
This gorgeous crater lake is in the colour of a beautiful light turquoise. The sand and rocks surrounding the lake has changed colours due to the highly acidic lake water (pH 0.5 to 1.3!).
Photo via: Chan
So though it is very mesmerising, don’t think about dipping even your hand or feet in!
And take note that the smell of the sulphur is a lot worse than at Tangkuban Perahu. Sometimes it’s so strong that you can see sulfurous gas emerging from the water.
But despite all that, it’s still too beautiful not to visit!
5. Dago area – Enjoy stunning views and hilly greens
One of the notable highlights of Dago is Lawang Wangi creative space, an art gallery, craft shop and restaurant that sums up to a piece of art in itself, with incredible creative bits you can enjoy one by one, when the mountain view from the all-glass interior doesn’t distract you.
It also has a sophisticated deck, where you can capture the beauty of Bandung.
Photo via: Jana Fathia
Also, on Dago Hill, you can find quite a few restaurants with breathtaking views.
Cafe D’ Pakar, Stone Cafe, The Valley Cafe, Rumah Miring bar
Or if you are adventurous, hike up to the ‘Tebing Keraton’, a cliff with a stunning view of the pine trees forest, or explore some of the hidden waterfalls in Bandung.

6. Trans Studio amusement park – Yell with the thrills
The Trans Studio is one of the biggest indoor theme park in the world. The theme park itself has 20 rides and more upcoming, with various shows for entertainment.
Photo via: Harry Prasetya, Amandamaudy
Right beside it is the Trans Studio Mall (previously Bandung Supermall), which has over 200 retail stores with more than 100 food and beverage outlets as well.
If you’re planning to go to the theme park, our tip is to buy the tickets first online (around USD 13 for weekdays and around USD 20 for weekends and public holidays). Buying online also saves you time from having to queue with other tourists. You can purchase the ticket here.
. Cihampelas area – Shop for Jeans
The Cihampelas Walk mall (also known as Ciwalk) located at 160th Street of Cihampelas is one of the best places to hang out and shop, popular among both locals and tourists.
And while you’re there, you can stroll along a street full of shops selling various kinds of jeans, from pants to mini skirts to jackets!
Photo via: Bisbandung, Bandung Tourism
But tourists be warned – during the weekends, this area is usually packed full of shoppers. The traffic can also be quite heavy and you may spend a lot of time just to find a place to find a parking spot!

So it’s best to visit during weekdays if you want to avoid the crowd.
