Semarang: The Venice of Java
The heart of Central Java, Semarang, with its multicultural history would be the best city for those who love exploring cities with diverse cultural heritage. It’s also one of the largest metropolitan cities in Indonesia, and provides so many compelling itineraries for you to visit. Semarang is traversed by many rivers in the middle of the city just like Venice in Italy, thus Netherland ever called this city as Venetië van Java or The Venice of Java. This city is also known as Kota Lumpia or Lumpia City. Lumpia is one of the most delicious snacks you could ever find in Indonesia. It’s a snack born by acculturation of two cultures, Javanese and Chinese, and a typical food from Semarang.

Gedong Songo – Museum Kereta Ambarawa – Hortimart – Cimori
We will pick up you in hotel and take you to Gedong Songo Temple. Gedong Songo Temple is a group of Hindu temples located in Central Java, Indonesia. The site was originally built during the early period of the Medang Kingdom which ruled Central Java during the 8th and 9th centuries. Similar to the Dieng Temples on the Dieng Plateau, Gedong Songo was erected out of volcanic stone and the two complexes represent the oldest Hindu structures in Java. Dieng and Gedong Songo predate Borobudur and Prambanan, and show considerable influence from Indian Hindu temple architecture. Then We will take you to Museum Ambarawa. Ambarawa was a military city during the Dutch Colonial Government. King Willem I ordered the construction of a new railway station to enable the government to transport its troops to Semarang. On May 21, 1873 the Ambarawa Railway Station was built on a 127,500 m2 land. This was known back then as Willem I Station. It was finished at the same time as the Jati-Bringin-Tuntang-Ambarawa line. On April 8, 1976, the Ambarawa Railway Station was officially converted into the Ambarawa Railway Museum by the Governor of Central Java Province at that time Supardjo Rustam. The museum preserves the steam locomotives. In 2010, the building of Ambarawa Railway Museum was made heritage building. Then we will Visit Hortimart, in there we will take you around the 27 hectare Hortimart Garden by car accompanied by a tour guide who will explain and introduce us to the types of plants and the unique varieties planted there.
