The city of Bandung is located about 180 kilometres southeast of Jakarta on the plateau area surrounded by a string of volcanic mountains, about 700 metres above sea level. The city is cooler than other city of the country all year-round and was called by the Dutch as "Parijs van Java" (Paris of Java) as the atmosphere back then similar to Paris and European cities.

Bandung of today is a popular European style resort town filled with hotels, cafes, and shops - a top weekend escape for people who live in Jakarta and tourists from all around, especially during weekends and national holidays. Apart from the great climate, this city also offers unique cityscape with many buildings shaped in a classic Dutch colonial and art-deco style. You can wander around the city to visit some of the interesting sights, such as the famous Gedung Sate Complex - the former HQ of the Dutch state. This building is open for public, and you can go up and have some drink while watching the city view from the building's top floor. Villa Isola (Bumi Siliwangi), an art-deco style building in the northern part of the city, is among the city's highlights. The building was built in circa 1930 and is one of the best places to enjoy with panoramic view of the valley with the city as backdrop. Out of the town locates Mt. Tangkuban Perahu, the most well-known natural attraction of Bandung. This dormant volcano is located 30 kilometres up north, and can be seen from the city if the sky is clear enough.
