Understand

Bandung is a highland city (altitude 768m) knowns for its many universities, textile industry and many roadside cafes. Called Parijs van Java (Paris of Java) by the Dutch, its high altitude location makes the weather pleasantly cool. The foods in Bandung are also well known for their wide varieties and taste. Many tourists from Jakarta visit Bandung during weekend and national holidays, when it can get quite crowded.
