Surabaya, Indonesia s second-largest city, is a dynamic port on the island of Java where history and modern life sit side by side. Its broad avenues, busy harbour, and thriving business districts give the city a confident, forward-looking feel, while old neighbourhoods preserve echoes of its trading past.
You will find a city known for its down-to-earth character and strong sense of local identity. From heritage quarters and riverside promenades to creative cafes and contemporary malls, Surabaya offers a different perspective on Indonesia beyond its famous beach destinations.
Use Surabaya as a gateway to East Java s natural wonders, or take time to explore its own attractions, from leafy parks and sculpture-filled roundabouts to bustling food streets that stay lively late into the evening.
