About Surabaya

Discover Surabaya

Why visit Surabaya?
Surabaya is a vibrant port city on the north coast of Java, known for its broad boulevards, busy harbour, and mix of colonial and modern architecture. It offers a more relaxed feel than Jakarta, while still giving you the energy and convenience of a major Indonesian city.

What to expect
You will find a city of contrasting neighbourhoods, from the heritage buildings and riverside promenades of the old town to glass-fronted malls and leafy residential districts. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with lively street life, traditional markets, and easy access to coastal views and nearby countryside.

Plan your trip
Surabaya works well as both a standalone city break and a gateway. From here, you can reach the volcanic landscapes of Mount Bromo, the cool highlands around Malang, and ferry links towards Bali and surrounding islands, making it a useful starting point for an extended Indonesian journey.

Experience Surabaya’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Surabaya is easiest to navigate by a mix of taxis, ride-hailing services, and dedicated shuttle buses from major malls and hotels. Main roads are wide and direct, while smaller side streets are best covered by short rides. In compact central areas, walking in the early morning or late afternoon is pleasant.

Local life & culture
Daily life centres on neighbourhood markets, coffee shops, and lively food streets that come alive as the day cools. You will notice a strong sense of community around local shops and small businesses, and a blend of colonial-era architecture with newer developments, giving the city a layered, lived-in feel.

Where to unwind
Green spaces, waterfront promenades, and family parks give you room to slow down between sightseeing or business meetings. Early mornings are ideal for cooler walks and light exercise, while evenings bring gentler temperatures for enjoying parks, coastal views, and open-air gathering spots across the city.

A taste of Surabaya

Street food & local specialties
Surabaya is known for hearty East Javanese dishes such as rawon beef soup, sate skewers, and spicy rice and noodle plates, often found at simple stalls and casual eateries. Busy street corners and local markets turn into open-air dining rooms, especially in the evening.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Shopping centres around central Surabaya offer convenient clusters of cafés, bakeries, and restaurants serving Indonesian favourites, Asian classics, and international comfort food. Menus often feature smaller plates and sharing portions, making it easy to sample several dishes in one sitting.

Signature & scenic dining
For a special meal, you can look for venues in higher floors of central buildings or hotels with skyline and river views. Some restaurants combine contemporary Indonesian cooking with elegant interiors, giving you a relaxed setting to enjoy the city lights after a day of exploring.

Retail therapy in Surabaya

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Surabaya’s large malls bring together international brands, local designers, cinemas, and family entertainment in cool, spacious surroundings. They double as social hubs where you can dine, shop, and take a break from the tropical heat between sightseeing or meetings.

Markets & local crafts
Traditional markets and older shopping streets offer fabrics, batik, souvenirs, and everyday goods in a more informal setting. Districts near the old town and Chinatown are good places to look for small shops selling local products, textiles, and simple keepsakes.

Evening retail scene
As temperatures drop in the evening, malls stay lively with late-opening stores and bustling food courts, while certain streets see more open-air stalls and small traders. Well-used public transport, taxis, and ride-hailing services make it straightforward to reach these shopping areas after dark.
