Bandung, the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, is known for its vibrant culture, historical significance, and scenic beauty.

The city captivates visitors with its wide array of attractions, from the bustling Braga Street lined with cafes and boutiques to the tranquil Dago Pakar, where people can enjoy nature and visit art galleries. The Saung Angklung Udjo showcases traditional music and dance, while the Tangkuban Perahu volcano offers breathtaking vistas and hot springs.

Markets like Cihampelas Walk present a shopper's haven with a variety of textiles, particularly denim.
