Since I was a kid , I lived in Bandung with my Parents. From my childhood life till Teenage life, I lived there. I decided to move when I was married , because my Husband and I workplace is far from Bandung. So, Bandung has put so much memories for me and become one of my favorite place to visit. The food, the ambience of the chill and relax places make me miss Bandung everyday.
It’s only take 2 hour driving from Jakarta, Bandung is become the best way to getaway place. My friend who live in Jakarta told me that she always take a trip to Bandung once in a month. Also, Bandung is a popular city for food, especially in street Food. If you ever heard Batagor? I guarantee that ones come from Bandung.
How to get to Bandung
There’re some way if you wanna go to Bandung, it could be by Car or Train from Jakarta.
By Private Car
If you going to Bandung by private car, you can take highway from Cawang to Pasteur. There’re so many highway exit to Bandung, but I suggest you to take Pasteur or Pasir koja because it is the nearest place to the City. If you going by car on weekend it could be traffic sometimes. So prepare yourself for this bad scene.
By Train
If you going by Train from Jakarta, it will take 4 hours from Gambir station to Bandung station. You can buy the ticket from PT.Kai, Traveloka or Tiket.com .
By Minivan
Besides, if you don’t wanna choose both of them, there‘s still minivan which can provide you to go here, there are so many minivan you can choose, because this option is the most favorite transportation that tourist took. There are some popular minivan you can choose such as DayTrans, Xtrans or Cititrans. You can check the ticket price on their platform website. As like the private Car, this one it could be get traffic too on the weekend.
