Bet ya didn’t know that Bandung holds the nickname “Paris of Java”, did you? This was because early Dutch inhabitants had pushed for the development of the city and did so in the style of their European hometowns. Now, the capital of West Java has not lost any of its old country charms with its beautiful natural landscapes still attracting tourists. Bandung is between 1300 to 2000 meters above sea level making it the coolest Indonesian city and a great place to escape from the heat of Jakarta!

What could be more enticing than to stay someplace where these natural landscapes are the visual locus? ?
