Singapore – 18/10/10 – No visit to Indonesia could be justified if one does not make a stop at its second largest city, Surabaya, Indonesia. The place is brims over with activities and tourist hot spots which attract people from both domestic and international origins. If you happen to be taking a break at this modern yet historically significant port city, here are a few places you must remember to visit.
Surabaya is also known as the ‘City of Heroes’, Surabaya has been colonized by the Dutch, Japanese and the British over the years. Its nickname is a result of the ‘Battle of Surabaya’ which took place in this city during November 1945. Tugu Pahlawan, a monument located in front of the Governor’s building, was erected in honor of the martyrs of this war.
As a result of the diverse colonization, the city is a paradigm of elegance with typical colonnaded buildings and avenues shaded by tall trees. The ‘House of Sampoerna’ is the best depiction of a building from the colonial period. Now claimed as a preserved historical site, the ‘House of Sampoerna’ complex has a museum, art gallery, café and also a store where you can purchase souvenirs to take back with you. Another good example would be the ‘Grahadi’, which was the residence of the Governor of East Java in the colonial periods. The Reog dance, a peculiar traditional form of art, is performed every Sunday at 11 am at the ‘Balai Pemuda’ proximate to the ‘Grahadi’.
Throwing light upon some of the current local attractions of Surabaya, there is a lot to do with respect to food and shopping. G Walk and Loop, both located in West Surabaya, are places where you can find numerous food stalls and markets that will suit any kind of budget. At night time, these places are flooded with people from all walks of life, especially the youth, relishing the local tastes of Surabaya. The local specialty, ‘Rujak Cingur’, is a must for every visitor to Surabaya.
The modern version of the city too has a lot in store for visitors. With the construction of the Suramadu Bridge, the economy of Surabaya has reached new echelons. Malls, condominiums, offices and hotels have facilities to cater to crowds from all over the world. Surabaya hotels accommodation takes their guests to a whole new level of hospitality with their excellent services and facilities.
