Bandung/Central

Many roads in the city centre of Bandung have one-way traffic, and driving to your destination may therefore require careful planning. Some of the main roads into Central Bandung include Jl. Pajajaran from the airport in Northwest Bandung and Jl. Ir. H. Juanda (Dago Road) from North Bandung, as well as the original Great Post Road, which is now known as Jl. Jendral Sudirman in the west, Jl. Asia Afrika in the centre, and Jl. Jendral Gatot Subroto in the east.

On-street parking is not allowed on major roads. There is a parking garage under the Alun-alun square, and the various shopping centres also have their own parking facilities. In Jalan Braga and a few other streets, prepaid parking meters have been installed.

Bandung is served by long-distance trains to and from for example Jakarta and Yogyakarta. There are also local trains from suburbs such as Cimahi. However, for a tourist it's often easier to use buses and angkots (public minivans) for travelling within the city.

• 🌍 Bandung railway station (In central Bandung). Also known as Hall station, this is central station where both local and long-distance trains stops. (updated Oct 2019)

• 🌍 Ciroyom railway station (Western edge of central Bandung). Only served by local trains. (updated Oct 2019)

For getting around in Bandung by public transport, you can take a bus or angkot (public minivan). Angkots follow a fixed route (there are various routes throughout the city), but there is no fixed schedule and there are no fixed stops. To get on, simply raise your hand. To get off, shout "Kiri!" to the driver, so he will pull over on the left (Indonesian: kiri) side of the road. The price of an angkot ride within the city is usually about Rp2,000 to 5,000. It is best to ask a local which angkot route to take, and how to recognise the location you want to get off.

The main bus and angkot stops in Central Bandung are Stasiun Hall (behind the main railway station), Terminal Ciroyom (next to Ciroyom railway station), and 🌍 Kebon Kalapa bus terminal (southside of the city centre, also known as Abdul Muis). From all of these locations, there are angkot in all directions to destinations throughout the city. From Stasiun Hall there are also angkot to the suburbs of Cimahi (24 hours per day) and Lembang. There are also buses, operated by DAMRI, that run to Cimahi from the Alun-alun square.

• 🌍 Kilometre Zero (Titik Kilometer Nol), Jl. Asia Afrika. In 1808, the Great Post Road across Java was built (the section in Bandung's city centre is now called Jalan Asia Afrika). It is said that when Governor-General H.W. Daendels of the Dutch East Indies travelled along the route, he said at the place where the road crosses the Cikapundung river: "Make sure that a city has been built here, when I return." At that location the a 'Kilometre Zero' milestone was placed, and until today this is used as the zero-point of Bandung and the wider region. Apart from the milestone, there is a commemorative plaque. (updated Dec 2016)
• 🌍 Alun-alun. The alun-alun is the large central open lawn square, as most Indonesian cities, towns, and villages have. Bandung's alun-alun is just west of the Kilometre Zero, on the southside of the Jalan Asia Afrika. Bandung's alun-alun has been renovated in 2015 using synthetic grass, and it is a popular place for locals to get together. Hawkers sell many types of snacks and toys for children. There is an underground parking garage below the square. On the northern side (Jl. Asia Africa), most days there'll be some youngsters hanging out dressed up in fancy costumes (cosplay) that are happy for a donation when you take pictures with them. (updated Dec 2016)
• 🌍 Grand Mosque (Masjid Raya Bandung), Jl. Asia Afrika (western side of Alun-alun square), ☏ +62 878 8084 7423. Mosque open daily 24 hr (but non-Muslims should respect praying times); minaret open Sa Su 10:00-17:00. The provincial mosque of West Java. The first 'Great Mosque' (Masjid Agung) of Bandung was constructed in 1812, shortly after the founding of the city. Throughout the 19th century, it was gradually expanded and renovated, and in 1930 the front porch was refurbished with a design by Henri Maclaine Pont, who also designed the ITB campus in North Bandung. However, during the renovation and expansion of 1955, the year of the Bandung Conference, most of the mosque's features from before Indonesian independence were demolished. The latest major renovation took place in 2001-2003, when the main circular dome was built, and the two iconic minarets were added. The minarets were planned to be 99 metres high each, but this would result in restrictions for the airport in Northwest Bandung, so it was reduced to 81 metres. After this renovation, the mosque became the official provincial mosque, and its name was changed from Great Mosque to Grand Mosque. During weekends, one of the minarets is open to visitors. A quick elevator brings visitors to the top floor, which gives a great view across the city. Mosque free entrance; minaret Rp3,000. (updated Dec 2016)

The building was renamed Gedung Merdeka ('Independence Building') after Indonesian independence, and was the venue of the 1955 Bandung Conference, the first meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (the Asian-African Conference).

Aalbers in art-deco style, with a horizontal side with smooth curves, and a lift tower that is higher than the six floors of the rest of the building. The design was much appreciated, and therefore Aalbers also received the contract to design the new Savoy Homann hotel building.
