8 days in Surabaya Itinerary

A tour of Surabaya provides a chance to discover a sprawling, architecturally and culturally rich port city on the island of Java.

Head to Tunjungan Plaza and Ciputra World Surabayafor some retail therapy. Bring the kids along to Gondo Mayit Beach and Maharani Zoo & Caves. Step out of Surabaya to go to Sidoarjo and see Lapindo Mudflow in Sidoarjo, which is approximately 46 minutes away. There's still lots to do: snap pictures at Suramadu National Bridge, browse the different shops at ITC Surabaya Mega Grosir, tour the pleasant surroundings at Bungkul Park, and let the river carry you with a rafting and tubing tour.
