Surabaya

Surabaya may not have a wealth of tourist attractions but this city has true Indonesian character, something which many North Sumatran tourist towns lack.

Get over the culture shock, give Surabaya a bit of time and discover an amenity-filled, leafy and booming town with more than a hint of crumbling Dutch-colonial charm.

In fact, Surabaya also has many shopping facilities including malls, and even antique shops which sell all kinds of Batak, Acehneses, Minang and Javanese antiquities.

From $69, Tigerair.
