Spent a few days exploring Semarang’s old town, and I was genuinely surprised by how much this city offers. Kota Lama feels like a step back in time — cobbled streets, Dutch architecture, and slow, cinematic sunsets. A must-visit: Gereja Blenduk, the iconic domed church surrounded by vintage buildings. But the real highlight? The food. Semarang’s street food hits hard — spicy, sweet, smoky. Don’t leave without trying ayam penyet kremes and tahu gimbal. For chili lovers, the sambal here doesn’t play. Pro tip: Start early to avoid the heat, and end your walk at Spiegel Bar & Bistro for a chill drink with a view. Semarang isn’t always loud, but if you slow down, it speaks. #SemarangTrip #KotaLama #KulinerSemarang #TravelIndonesia #HiddenGems

#cityplaybook #postandearn #localguides Nestled along the northern coast of Java, Semarang is a captivating blend of historical richness, cultural diversity, and modern vibrancy. As the capital of Central Java, this city offers a unique journey through time, from its colonial past to its contemporary allure. My exploration began in Kota Lama, Semarang's Old Town, often dubbed the "Little Netherlands." Strolling through its cobblestone streets, I was transported to the 18th century, surrounded by well-preserved Dutch colonial architecture. The iconic Blenduk Church, with its distinctive dome, stood as a testament to the city's historical tapestry. A short walk led me to Lawang Sewu, meaning "A Thousand Doors." This architectural marvel, once the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company, is steeped in history and local legends. The building's grandeur and intricate design left me in awe. Venturing into Chinatown, I was greeted by the vibrant atmosphere of Pasar Semawis, a night market teeming with culinary delights. The aroma of freshly prepared lumpia Semarang, a local spring roll delicacy, was irresistible. Sampling this dish amidst the lively crowd was a highlight of my visit. A must-see is the Sam Poo Kong Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in the city, honoring the Chinese Muslim explorer Zheng He. The temple's striking red pagodas and serene ambiance offer a glimpse into the city's multicultural heritage. For a burst of color, Kampung Pelangi is unparalleled. This "Rainbow Village" transformed from a modest neighborhood into a vibrant tourist attraction, with houses painted in a kaleidoscope of colors and adorned with murals, making it a photographer's paradise. Best Time to Visit: June to August: Enjoy the dry season with pleasant weather, ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Tips: Transportation: Utilize local transport options like Go-Jek or Grab for convenient travel around the city. Cultural Etiquette: Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and be respectful of local customs. Local Delicacies: Don't miss out on trying lumpia Semarang, bandeng presto (pressure-cooked milkfish), and wingko babat (a coconut-based snack). Location: Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia #SemarangAdventures #KotaLamaSemarang #LawangSewu #SamPooKong

The place you should visit in Semarang, central java. A dutch colonial church that has been more than decades stood there with its beauty. Try to catch morning moment or golden sunset for a better picture. #church #semarang #central java #old building #indonesia

Such a hidden gem waterpark in Ungaran area. The name of this waterpark is "Fountain Waterpark". Located in the area of Lerep, West Ungaran. The waterpark has kids and adults' pool.

Since there's no access for public transportation, I recommend you to go by car or motorbike. They have a quite large parking lot here. I wish 2024 I could visit Leiden. #2024wish

It's cool and comfortable. even though the nature tour is a waterfall, but before that there are places to eat too. so if you don't want to go to the waterfall, you can eat there while looking at the scenery. access to the waterfall is quite challenging and requires extra effort. but it's worth it when you arrive. clear water, fresh, really love this place! #hiddengems
