About Bandung
There is only one place in Bandung where visitors need to go to try out all the local food. Burangrang Culinary Street is famous for its many cafés, street food stalls and hawkers. There is no better place in the whole city to eat cheaply and well. Some have said that a lot of eateries in Bandung focus on creating new tastes and not making sure the food tastes good; however, it is possible to sample food from different places and stumble upon something really delicious.
ShoppingShopping is another reason why Bandung is famous in the region. Many items, including clothing and accessories, are cheaper here than anywhere else in Indonesia. Factory outlets and shops selling rejected export products from Zara, H&M and other retailers are very popular and many Indonesians travel here from Jakarta to buy these at lower prices. There are three main places in the city to shop for such treasures - Dago, Jalan Setiabudi and Jalan Riau - all three have a large number of shops where brand name knock-offs are mixed with the genuine stock and it is easy to find a real bargain.
