Know any nice place to stay in Bandung which is within walking distance to main attractions in town?
Easy to get around town with public transport?  hmm.gif

Last time I stayed at serena hotel, very near to railway station. Just take the angkutan kota, very cheap to go everywhere but u need to know the route. Main attraction? Girls are always attracted to FOs, pasar baru and shopping mall, hair saloon and spas laugh.gif hahahaha To go to kawah putih, tangkuban perahu we hired a driver (supir) becoz it was very far and the public transport (bus) was not reliable

Angkutan kota? How do I get on one? Have to wait like bus, or is there an angkot station? unsure.gif

Between Tangkuban and Kawah Putih, which is a nicer trip? Planning to go both, see the timing how, but will most likely skip kawah putih as I might be going ijen instead. Could stay longer but bandung is really only a side trip for me  sad.gif

Will be staying there 2D/2N.

this is how angkutan kota looks like. If you see one, just lambai lambai and they will come to you. but must make sure the route. u can just ask local people or hotel receptionist on the route

How long does it take to get to Cicaheum bus station from train station area? Distance wise under 10km but dunno duration will take how long given the traffic.
*
i always look at the route (at the windscreen) and confirm with the driver. I cant remember how long it took to the train station. its been a year lah. but traffic really bad during the weekend

Will go to Gambir station anyways, which is near Jaksa road. Thinking of buying my other train tickets there too, not just to bandung.

Possible?

Good la, cos Tangkuban Perahu entrance fee is 300k IDR on weekends, 200k on weekdays  cry.gif  cry.gif
Btw, at the entrance, heard u have to walk quite far up the hill. is there a minibus to go up the hill to Tangkuban Perahu?
*
Tangkuban entrance fee is so expensive meh? I think we spent <100k IDR per head. maybe 40-60k I cant remember. There were a lot of cars, vans at the car park. Dont need to take van uphill

maybe u r referring to kawah putih? I went there on Friday only paid 30k for entrance fee and 16k for in site transportation. from the parking area yes, we need to take a van/jeep uphill

but i was a year ago. exactly a year ago
