Visit Jawa Barat


Jawa Barat, also known as West Java, is a province of Indonesia located in the western part of the island of Java. The region is home to some of Indonesia's most vibrant cities such as Bandung and Bogor. It is recognized for its rich culture and distinctive cuisine. Tourists flock to Jawa Barat for its numerous attractions like Kebun Raya Bogor (Bogor Botanical Gardens), which features more than 2000 species of plants; and Tangkuban Perahu, a volcano with hot springs and waterfalls located near Bandung.

Jawa Barat has an intriguing history - it was once part of the largest kingdom in Central Java that reigned from 1293 to 1527 AD, when it then broke apart into smaller states due to power struggles among regional rulers. Thus, one can find many historical sites like the Imogiri Royal Cemetery Complex where generations of sultans are laid to rest; or Cirebon Sultanate Palace which is now a museum displaying ancient artifacts from the royal palace.
