Semarang, Indonesia skyline: the 32 most iconic buildings and best views in Semarang

Lawang sewu just like before i visited. Great colonial building and history to tell. But unfortunetly, this time, when i go to the dungeon, the guide didn't not tell us about the history. More like to tell us about the structure of the building and more. And just to add some advice, if visitor buy the advance ticket like me, please provide the personal tour guide immediately, so we do have to look for the tour guide place on our own

This place is majestic. When visiting this place I would strongly suggest you to use a guide provided there, it’s not free service (for a family of four you will have to pay at least IDR100,000) but it’s really worth it. The guide will not only tell you the history about this place but they are good photographer as well, they will tell you the best location to take picture and will take a nice picture for you.

Really place to learn some of local history. The flow of the museum needs to be better sih. So people like me, when decided to go there without any guide still can do a proper tour. Maybe a guide letter / sign can help. Sssstt they got a hidden basement tour (some said it haunted!)

When learning about the Old Semarang, Lawang Sewu is one of the historical place to understand the history of how the Indonesian Train company was initially founded. From getting off the train at Stasiun Semarang Tawan, visiting the Old Town, then learning about the architecture of the initial Train Company HQ at Lawang Sewu and then closing it with the old St. Ambarawa Museum is a must.

A great place to know a little bit more about the Indonesian history with the Dutch. I love that there's something for everyone: adults, small children and older people. I got to do the immersive one - price a tad more expensive than the other entrance fee but worth it to have someone talk to you about the history behind Lawang Sewu. Prices probably will change so I'd refer you to their website. The immersive experience in Building B has AC so a good break from the heat and humidity. There are souvenir shops, photo booths, caricature making if you want the traditional route of having your photo taken, owls that perform tricks, of course eateries and lots of museum like information inside the buildings. Depending on what type of tourist you are - there's something for everyone. Just a little warning, they won't let you bring drinks inside so better to put them inside your bag and drink it after going in or buy from the vendors inside. For the elderly, they also have wheelchairs. Just leave your ID when borrowing one. Outside the gates, local vendors sell toys and other souvenirs too

It is more attractive now with the immersive experience so its not that boring as it used to. When visit Semarang make sure u try to come at least once

Was really good experience. The building was maintained so well. We feel the ambience looklike long time ago

Sam Poo Kong is a breathtaking blend of Chinese and Javanese architecture, rich in history and culture.

The temple is truly huge, the smell of scent present everywhere, and as for Indonesia this place is clean and pleasant. I wish I had more time to sit down and clean my thoughts or even meditate but I only had two hours free during my business trip. Enjoyable and wonderful place.

Nice experience. I recommend to buy the full ticket that costs 60 000Rp to be able to visit the most impressive temples and to have a complete experience. Standard tourist ticket 40 000Rp.

Sam Poo Kong in Semarang is a historic temple with grand architecture and rich Chinese cultural heritage. It offers great photo spots and a serene atmosphere for historical or religious visits. Best enjoyed in the late afternoon.

Made a quick stop here just to seeing sight and take some pictures. Such a beautiful place with a very serene vibe. There is also a praying room for Muslim tourist here and there are many food stalls in case you feel like eating something after your visit. Lovely!

They have different types of tickets, the more expensive ones as they said, could visit all the places. However, you are still prohibited to enter their “holy” rooms because they don’t categorize you as “PRAYERS”, meaning if you don’t pay extra for offering incense. So hilarious, because they actually have no idea whom they are praying and why they are praying for him. 你们知道郑和真的是谁吗？? 无知的可笑。

Kota Lama Semarang is one of my favorite spots to walk around. The old buildings feel so unique and give that classic vibe, perfect for photos or just enjoying the atmosphere. There are also lots of cafés and small shops to explore. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but that’s part of the charm. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Semarang!

My second time at Kota Lama in Semarang... Some shops have closed but its old charm brings warmth to people. I'd definitely visit again!

Kota Lama Semarang is a beautiful and historical place to visit. The area is filled with well-preserved colonial buildings that create a unique old-town atmosphere.

Discover the Timeless Charm of Kota Lama Semarang Nestled in the heart of Central Java, Kota Lama Semarang—often called the “Little Netherlands of Java”—invites visitors to step back in time and explore one of Indonesia’s most remarkable historical districts. Dating back to the 17th century, this old town reflects the meeting point of East and West, where Dutch colonial influence intertwined with Javanese tradition. Today, Kota Lama stands not only as a monument to history but also as a vibrant cultural hub, drawing travelers from across the globe. A Living Museum of Colonial Architecture Walking through Kota Lama feels like entering an open-air museum. The district is lined with elegant European-style buildings, many of which remain intact from the Dutch colonial era. Characterized by thick walls, high ceilings, large windows, and steep roofs, these structures were adapted to suit the tropical climate of Java while maintaining their European grandeur. • Gereja Blenduk (Blenduk Church), with its iconic red dome built in 1753, is the centerpiece of the old town and an unmissable landmark. • The Marba Building, once a bustling trading house, showcases neoclassical architecture with intricate details. • The Old Post Office and the former bank buildings stand as testaments to Semarang’s past role as a thriving trading hub.

The district was carefully planned with canals, fortifications, and straight boulevards—features rarely seen in traditional Javanese towns. This unique urban layout still defines Kota Lama today, making it one of the best-preserved colonial districts in Indonesia. Walking along Jl. Letjen Suprapto or relaxing in Srigunting Park, visitors can feel the layers of history: from a once-busy colonial port to a revitalized heritage site, now filled with art galleries, cafés, and creative spaces.

Semarang kota lama offers a charming blend of history and culture with its preserved Dutch colonial buildings. It’s a perfect spot for walking tours, photography, cafés, and night views, creating a unique nostalgic vibe.

When i go here last time, it supose to open at 9. But after 9a.m the gate still bot open yet. Until 9.30. So i decide i will bot go inside . But afterall, the building itself, have a characteristic to look up

This is my first time in Old Town of Semarang. The church is just under restoration. Very good places to visit. Worth it.

Gereja Blenduk is considered to be a landmark in Semarang. Old yet iconic and historical. It used to be a Dutch church and up until now it is still operating. Open for public to visit but also open for Sunday Mass. Located at the heart of Semarang Old Town. The building is still properly maintained. The style is very 'Dutch'. Come in the morning for a great view and less crowded for photo session.

Nice place to get photo at old town semarang.. i visit twice... Walking at day, take becak at night

Old Dutch colonial days. Doors open for public to go in. 10am to 4pm Will be accompanied by the caretaker. Need to sign in visitors book and Judy add in a small donation for maintenance. Good place for a quiet moment. Big organ pipes but no longer being played.

The church stands majestically under the sun... you can't miss it. Make sure you get an Instagrammable worthy shot in front of the church. After that, be sure to take a stroll across the streets admiring the ancient city. The roads, lamps, buildings - are colonial Dutch era that makes you think you are in an European town!

Heritage building made by Dutch , and located at Old town of Semarang If you want to entering the church you need to donate IDR 10.000 , then you can go inside to see the interior. Known as Gereja Plengkung

This rock and soil mine has very low activity during Eid Mubarak holiday so we can get clear picture of the view. The road is accessible when you use sedan or SUV but rather danger if you want to go further close to the mountain especially when it rain. We go 4WD and go deep and in high ground to get stunning view. Its worthed the risk actually, amazing view, would even better for sunset time. The road is much like off road, with many of big rocks hasnt cleared along the road. The minus thing is not recreational area it only open for public. So not much activity can be done but taking picture or filming the sight seeing.

My friend and I describe this as a “tourist trap.” It is included as a tourist destination in an article we found, but little did we know that it’s in a middle of nowhere. The canyon is not even natural-made. It’s made from the constant quarry. For photo’s sake, you can visit the place but make sure you have your own mode of transportation because I don’t think you can find a Grab car or bike when you’re there.

This place isn't managed as a recreational place so there are not many things to do here aside from taking photos. It's not far from the city but the road isn't good for vehicles so be careful. The mining activities continuously change the shape of the hills. The last time I was there, the hills didn't look good as in my previous visit.

THIS place actually is a sand mining area. The ongoing mining activities creates hills and canyons. People find it interesting to take photographs of the place specially in Golden Hours that is in the morning or in the afternoon. The place is Instagramable despite the path to the place quite hard to travel. It's best to use motorcycle to get to the location. It will be easy to move to other spots since the place quite big. Anyhow there is other way to reach the location by your own car. Just follow the route of dump trucks of the site.

Its a beautiful spot, perfect for photography, yet never go without preparation. Naturally the scene is an active mining location, there are numerous mining activities there, and the road is like an offroad track, a sedan or car with low ground clearence definitely can't go there, especially when its rain. Very dangerous! Despite all that, the place is a beautiful spot to take a photo.

It's actually a Quarry. What's left of it is today's scenery, haystack hills consists of volcanic rock layers. The view itself is quite pleasant, especially when around sunset. Quite dusty and windy in here, if you want to visit Brown Canyon I recommend to bring your own mask. Don't get too close to the hills, it's quite high and vertical. Be aware of rock avalanche.

A "tourist" sites that gives America a grand canyon scenery. This is the site of a stone quarry that is still active but is open to the public. If you visit here you'd better have a mask because there are still other trucks carrying mining materials. Access to this location is not so good. If you geologists this place is good to learn volcanostratigraphy. Hopefully, local authorities can make the site a conservation site so that it can become a natural tourist attraction with visitors.

Old building from Dutch Colonial Era. Known as De Schouwburg.

(Translated by Google) The old building has been neglected for a long time but has been put to good use, hopefully it will be useful 😍 (Original) Gedung tua yang lama terbengkalai tp sudah dimanfaatkan dengan baik, semoga membawa kebermanfaatan 😍

Good place for chillin, or space for work. There are alot of colokan in mostly table. Smoking area is available for customer who want smoke and drink coffee in a same time (keselek dong haha), oh ... air conditioner also available in smoking area, so you will not kepanasen when you ghibah with your friends, and sebats for sure. Peacock has many drinks on menu, yku can pick coffee base or not coffee base, you can refill your drink if you choose lyche tea for 2 times. Just the tea not the lyche yes hahaha ... So many various pie also available in here, if you look look you suddenly ngiler because the whole look of pie is cemokotable.

Tugu Muda is a beautiful and meaningful monument located in the heart of Semarang. It stands as a symbol of the spirit and sacrifice of Indonesian heroes during the fight for independence. The area around the monument is clean and well-maintained, surrounded by gardens and fountains that look lovely, especially at night when the lights are on. It’s also close to other famous landmarks like Lawang Sewu and the old city area, making it a perfect stop for anyone exploring Semarang’s history and culture

tugu muda is one of the landmark of this city. it is a monument about 5 days war against japanese troops. as a local, i don't have any specific reasons to visit this place purposely. but for tourists, this is kind of "a must visit" and take some pics or video about this place. it is a public space like people park, free to visit and quite crowded during evening.

Beautiful cafe and bar inside Mandala Museum Diponegoro! Newly built and good ambience.

Tugu Muda is a stone monument in Semarang, Java commemorating the struggle for independence by Indonesian youth.[1] It was dedicated by President Sukarno on 20 May 1953 to commemorate the continuous five-day battle between the youth of Semarang and a Japanese battalion led by Major Kido from 14–19 October 1945. Japanese forces drove the Dutch from Indonesia as the "elder brother of Asia"; however, the Japanese were crueler to dissidents than their Dutch counterparts.[2] The stone monument consists of a foundation, body and head. One side of the monument is done in relief, with ornamental ponds and gardens surrounding it.

An amazing monument in Semarang. Really recommended to visit and enjoy the sunrise or sunset in the city of Semarang

The monument is located in the middle of a roundabout that is also a small park with a pond, some benches to sit on while enjoying the surrounding, particularly as a spot to view the beautiful Lawang Sewu. There's a free drinking fountain, a really cool facility, but I didn't check whether it was still working or not.

The Semarang Contemporary Art Gallery offers a glimpse into the local art scene with its curated exhibitions and unique works. The space itself is well-maintained and provides a quiet, reflective environment for visitors to explore and appreciate contemporary art. However, there are a few aspects that could be improved. One of the main issues I encountered during my visit was the temperature inside the gallery. It felt quite hot, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable. In a space meant for contemplation and enjoyment, maintaining a comfortable temperature is crucial, especially in a tropical climate like Semarang’s. As for the art on display, while the pieces showcased are interesting and varied, I felt that the collection was somewhat limited. Given the entry fee of Rp25.000 per person, I expected a more extensive exhibition. The current selection, although thoughtfully curated, left me wanting more in terms of quantity and variety. Overall, the Semarang Contemporary Art Gallery provides a pleasant escape for art enthusiasts looking to explore local contemporary works. However, the experience could be enhanced with better climate control and a more comprehensive collection of art pieces. Despite these areas for improvement, it’s still a nice place to visit for those interested in the arts, just be prepared for a warmer than expected visit.

The only one contemporary art museum in Semarang I guess. Located in the heart of Semarang 'Kota Lama' and the building is a former Dutch building. The place is quite small. The paintings will be changing following the enacted theme at the time of visiting. Yet at the second floor, there's no AC so its very hot plus Semarang weather during noon time is also very hot. And the ticket is quite expensive for a small exhibition in my opinion.

"This art gallery provides a commendable presentation of contemporary paintings. While cleanliness and comfort are meticulously maintained, the breadth of its painting collection is considerably restricted when benchmarked against art galleries in Jakarta or other major urban centers."

I've always liked visiting galleries. There's always something interesting to learn about! The gallery had "night market" as their theme while i visited. Since I am a local, it was easy to get information on the pieces. However, it would be nice to provide english explanation to cater for tourists. I hope that this could be improved 😊 Though it looks nice, I do think the gallery need repairs. Especially the leaky roof on the second floor. Also, it was pretty warm inside, maybe consider adding air conditioner/fans for comfort.

This is an excellent attempt to promote local contemporary artists, though the works seem to be from among a limited pool of artists with not much variety in style. Nevertheless, worth a short visit for some pics in a trendy gallery if you’re in the heart of Kota Lama.

Lovely small art gallery in the heart of Semarang’s old town. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the gallery itself and the displayed artworks. The temperature and air circulation should be improved. 25.000Rp are an okay price.

The place isn't huge. Two floors and not many artwork exhibited when I happened to be there. It was clean, there are three small couches we can sit on and relax for a bit in the middle of the criminally hot weather of Semarang. It would be a lot better if they maximize the space and put on more artwork, cause the place was definitely spacious enough and they weren't doing a good job to exhibit as many artwork as they can.. Overall, it's not bad. I personally think this place could be a 5 star art gallery if there were more artwork being presented. Also, the ticket was 20k IDR.

While waiting for the famous lunpia gang lombok to be served, I ventured nearby area and brought me to this beautiful old Chinese temple located just beside and in the middle of Semarang Chinatown. There's a tall statue of Cheng Ho and Buddha under a bodhi tree in front of the temple. Inside the temple housed many popular Buddhist, Tao and Konghucu deities. Felt very serene and blessed after praying and paying respect. Definitely worth visiting.

One of the oldest historical temple in Semarang. The atmosphere and ambience in here are really peaceful, yet really charming in a way I can't really describe. May all beings be joyful and secure. Really worth to pay a visit when visiting Semarang. R&D

Located on a small street, near the famous lunpia. Parking is limited. Foodcourt and school are in the same neighborhood.

Tay Kak Sie is one of the biggest and oldest historical Chinese temple in Semarang. Located in the middle of China town and consisted with 3 main buildings. It is being used daily up until now. The structure, interior and exterior is so artistic and full of symbols and meanings. Various ceremonies are also being held here. Celebration is happening in regular basis too. Staff are very friendly here. Feel free to ask anything about the background or story of the temple. There is a pujasera or food stalls at the same location. There is a very popular lumpia in the same location.

Beautiful Temple in Semarang Chinatown area. Must visit. Please be respectful when visiting 🙏.

Klenteng Besar Tay Kak Sie located at Gg.Lombok - Kauman. The temple was established in 1746. Tay Kak Sie name written on the signboard at the entrance of a large temple, with the record year of the reign of Emperor Dao Guang 1821-1850 of the Qing Dynasty is a name that means "Temple of Supreme Consciousness. One of the largest temple in Semarang Parking area is spacious and easy access. Around the many culinary like : Lumpia Gg.Lombok , RM.Siang Kie , Es Cao/Campur , Mie Ayam & Es Puter & Food Court. Temple is open 24 Hour

The temple is large, with many statues of gods inside. People pray to them for health and luck

A pleasant dining spot to enjoy with family or for business. Quite comfortable for casual conversations and lingering, enjoying the atmosphere and F&B. The location in Kota Lama, the Dutch heritage building, and the one and only Spiegel in Indonesia are all strong points for this place. The food we tasted was all delicious: beef carpaccio, tagliatelle a manzo, capellini burro e pepe, and smoked veal tongue. And for desserts: tiramisu and banoffee tart. Our favorite are capellini and tiramisu. During reservations and upon arrival, we were reminded of the recommended and prohibited dress code. We dressed accordingly out of respect for the place. However, this rule seems flexible in practice, as right across from us was a family group, some were wearing t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. All prohibited items. Yet, they were allowed to enter and enjoy the menu. It did somewhat spoil the ambiance, though it didn't detract from the restaurant's positive qualities. Definitely will recommend this place to others and come back while in Semarang.

Spiegel in Semarang is a charming spot that combines history with modern dining, set in a beautifully preserved heritage building. While the prices are on the higher side compared to most local eateries, the experience it offers makes it worthwhile. The menu features a thoughtful selection of dishes and drinks, each crafted with quality ingredients and presented with care. What really stands out at Spiegel is the taste. Every plate and glass carries a refined flavor profile that feels deliberate and well-balanced, elevating it above the usual café or restaurant experience. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, savor your meal, and truly enjoy the craft that goes into the food and beverages. The bar, in particular, gives off a vibe reminiscent of pubs in the UK, with its cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Whether you’re enjoying a cocktail or just a coffee, the ambience enhances the overall experience, making Spiegel not just a dining spot but also a destination for anyone who appreciates good taste and great atmosphere.

Good food with old and colonial vibes. having lunch here with children. There is much variety from legendary semarang food Nasi Ayam up to Western Angus Steak. Delicious.. a little bit expensive compare to Semarang overall cost of living however still recomended to come..

- High ceiling old colonial building with cozy atmosphere and vibe - Food is honestly just alright. Good, but not especially great - Service is top notch and efficient - The Al Ragu Pasta is pretty decent without being too sweet like other Italian Restaurants in Indonesia. - The Americano is also surprisingly enjoyable. - Very good place to bring your business meetings to.

I had a quick trip to Semarang and had heard about Spiegel. I came for dinner alone and got sat at one of the lounge tables. There was a live jazz band playing that night which I enjoyed, the singers & band provided a beautiful backdrop for the place. The food was amazing, I ordered the braised veal ossobuco with saffron risotto and a cocktail I can’t remember the name of. The experience was great. Only comment would be that it took a while to get anyone’s attention but once they took my order it was much better

I recommend you to come around 5.30pm so you can enjoy the atmosphere's differences and its surrounding better. The dishes were high quality like always and satisfying choice of drinks even though you don't drink alcohol. This time I came with my mom on wheelchair. And we had an excellent service and help from the staff to lift her through the entrance.

A charming restaurant nestled in Semarang’s Old Town, Spiegel offers a warm dining experience inside a beautifully preserved Dutch colonial building. The ambiance is inviting, the food is delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. A great spot for a relaxing dinner with colleagues. Highly recommended for both the atmosphere and culinary quality!

A nice temple and pagoda to visit when you are in Semarang. You can pray to Guanyin Pusa here.

Free of charge, but it’s recommended for you to donate your spare money in here just for the sake of appreciates their effort to keep it open for tourists. You can get fortune telling in the pagoda. . Other than that, this place is so much quiet..

A Buddhist temple just outside of Semarang. They have detailed carving and statues that are extremely beautiful u can enter without paying a price and you can pretty much go everywhere on the kompleks and take pictures. Recommended if you want to to do a cultural visit or to pray if you're a Buddhist

Place where you can rest your soul and walk a silence. Nice and clean, during our visit afternoon, the place so quiet and just us to pay a visit. Large parking lot, and view quite good for us to take some pictures

The temple is well maintained and clean, nice place to pray

You can easily spot the pagoda from main road. It’s quite big and has a lot of good spot for your photos. Coming early in the morning is recommended. The parking is not too spacious but you can still park your car since this place is not too crowded.

Beatifiul buddhist temple. Definitely worth a visit!

Good location, good services. Must visit if you come to this area. Recommended for all families.

its the biggest catholic church in.semarang imho..located in the city center makes it easy to find,when we have our eucharist in here they have an UKMK bazaar outside the church..i think the choir is not perform as good as it should be in this mass because they only have maybe 5 person who is singing loudly although the member of this choir are maybe 12 person in total,the pastor who is giving homily is from rangkasbitung (i just know where is it when the pastor explain it to us)..in the announcement before mass,the church encourages people to shake hand with others in peace greeting but in practice,people still only make the namaste gesture to other,overall is nice to have a mass in this church

This was my first time visiting a church outside of Tangerang (my hometown), hehe. I felt a bit hesitant and awkward at first. It was a new experience for me to attend mass at a Catholic church in another city. I was very happy; the church was spacious and beautiful. I should have arrived earlier to explore the surroundings more. Overall, I'm glad I had the opportunity to come here!

Calm, Serenity of a beautiful Church. Recommended to stop, pause, and breathe. It will bring a different level of peace.

We came for mass on Saturday afternoon as well as Porta Sancta. We were warm welcomed by Ibu Wels. Thank you. It was a beautiful church

Staff, very welcoming and so many worshippers singing in the service, so heartwarming. As a solo traveller from the UK, I was so happy to be here amongst the lovely people of Java and it reminded me of home. Thank you. Church itself is beautiful and spacious. The Service on Saturday was very popular which added to the wonderful atmosphere.

This church can be regarded as the Capital of The Archdiocese of Semarang. The cathedral is look stunning and beautiful. This church is also one of the church that maintain much of the Liturgy regulation. You can find an Eminent organ in this place, quite rare to be used in Indonesia. Have a mass here is cozy because there are Air Conditioners inside this place. Beside this church you can see and pray at a small park with quite huge Holy Cross and Pieta Sculpture. Behind the seats, you can find also place to pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to Mother Mary. This cathedral is easily accessible since located adjacent to several well-known place at the heart of Semarang, such as Tugu Muda, Simpang Lima, Jalan Pandanaran, etc. Many public transportation go in front of the complex, such as Trans Semarang and angkot. I am surprised that in the complex of the cathedral, I can also find several ATM.

Truth be told, I felt that this mall is in dire need for a revamp. In the golden years it has been one of the best, if not the best mall. But it has been quickly overshadowed by others. Sad to see multiple stores closing up, mainly Burger King, which has been there for years and years. Looking forward to see how management play their game from now on. Reaso I kept coming back here, purely due to Gyu-Kaku and Kintan Buffet. If they pull out too, I certainly have no other reason to come back. Let's hope it won't come to that 👌🏻

The mall is enjoyable and full of many brands. It is cozy (the air conditioner is cool) and the architecture is majestic, awesome, unique, and modern. Adjacent to the city center of Semarang, the location is strategic and easily accessible with public transportation (unfortunately the bus stop of Trans Semarang is a little bit far from the main entrance). It is amazing that the drop off area of online transportations are bring provided here without extra charge of parking fee. The parking lots are located above and below the mall itself. The restroom is clean and well-maintained.

Good Mall, Quite complete , Shopping store, clothing, food court, supermarket.

J Paragon Mall (officially Pollux Mall Paragon) stands out as one of Semarang's largest and most complete shopping and lifestyle centers. Its strategic location in the heart of the city, right on Jalan Pemuda and connected to the prestigious PO Hotel Semarang, makes it a popular and easily accessible hub for both locals and visitors. Paragon Mall Semarang is an essential destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment in the city. Its comprehensive offerings, modern design, and central location make it a top-tier mall experience. Whether you're looking for the latest fashion, a wide selection of international cuisine, or a comfortable place to hang out and watch a movie, Paragon is guaranteed to deliver.

Excellent set up with PO Hotel adjacent to the Mall with it ALL! You need a week to fully appreciate every store's offers as well as the multiple services and venues the hotel has on offer! Caters mostly to corporations but is family-friendly.

One of the most popular mall in semarang, you can find lot of brand here. Actually the mall itself isn't big, but the variations and brands inside is great. Also one of my favourite, they have sour sally inside. On crowded hour you'll find yourself queing for parking. Many times come to this mall, and most of the time ended up parking on the rooftop since it is very crowded.

I enjoyed this mall. It's a perfect size with just enough stores and not so huge you or your family get tired of walking. There's a department store, good court, other restaurants, and a wide variety of stores from luxury to casual. Public restrooms, an ATM, and plenty of parking are a plus. The Crowne Plaza hotel is accessible from inside the mall too!

The mosque’s architecture is both elegant and inviting, featuring a harmonious blend of traditional Indonesian design elements and modern touches. The main prayer hall is spacious, with intricate details and a calming ambiance that enhances the spiritual experience for worshippers. Its large courtyard provides additional space for congregational prayers, especially during significant events like Friday prayers or Eid celebrations. The location of Baiturrahman Mosque is another highlight. Being situated in Simpang Lima, a central and accessible part of Semarang, makes it convenient for locals and visitors alike. After prayers, visitors can explore the surrounding area, which is filled with

Its my first time pray in here. The mosque was very clean and proper. I enjoyed my time in here. Very peaceful

Very nice and wide mosque. Clean and tidy. Located in the heart of Semarang, walking distance to Simpang Lima and Ciputra Mall. They got spacious parking area and basement.

Beautiful 2006 mosque with a modenrist minaret. It's part of a large complex.

I ever visit and stay a night in this mosque. People sleep on the floor outside main hall, and take a bath on wudlu area. On Sunday, after Subuh, there is sermon and breakfast for pilgrim.

This is semarang Grand mosque..located at central of semarang city.. Simpang Lima.. Its modern architecture made it very futuristic.. With modern facility for ablution and toilet..

The first time I came here. The mosque big and magnificent, and feel in the center of the crowd. The first floor of the mosque for men and second floor for women. The parking lot is spacious, many small sellers around the mosque, although a bit annoying but quite helpful for thirsty or hungry people who stop by to pray.

This is the only regional card center for Mandiri in Semarang, especially for credit card. So I expect they will have lots of Cust Service, turns out I was wrong. From 3 tables they only open 1 cust service. Long queue. Mandiri have to improve their CS.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed with the service, the employees are also very undisciplined and wasteful, the opening hours are stated at 08.00 when we arrived at 08.15 it turned out it wasn't open yet, when we asked the security they said it opened at 08.30. And after waiting until 08.30 it turned out that no Pelni Semarang employees had arrived at all. (Original) Sangat kecewa dengan pelayanannya, karyawan juga sangat tidak disiplin dan hambur, jam masuk keterangan buka jam 08.00 begitu sampe tempat pukul 08.15 ternyata belum buka, ketika tanya security bilang buka pukul 08.30. dan setelah ditunggu sampe 08.30 ternyata karyawan Pelni Semarang belum ada yang datang sama sekali

The Semarang city government is also revitalizing the road in front of this building. Hopefully it gets better. (Original) Gedung tua yang masih terawat dengan baik.

(Translated by Google) As for the CS service, from my perspective: Friendly and knows a lot Tickets can be made online for those who have registered for the vaccine up to 3 days of departure You can also buy it on the day of departure, but directly at the office (Pelni Semarang). . Advice from CS, if you want an Antigen Swab, don't do it on the day (at the port) because it will be busy and queue for a long time, it's best to go to the hospital near the Pelni Semarang Branch Office (Original) Untuk pelayanan CSnya, sepenglihatan saya : Ramah dan tau banyak Tiket bisa lewat online bagi yg sudah terdaftar vaksin maksimal H-3 Keberangkatan Bisa juga belinya pas hari H Keberangkatan tapi di office(Pelni Semarang)nya langsung . Saran dari CS jika mau Swab Antigen jangan pas hari H( di pelabuhan) karna bakal ramai dan antri lama, sebaiknya di RS dekat Kantor Cabang Pelni Semarang

(Translated by Google) Excellent service from security to the recipient, hopefully always prioritize the best service. Thank you 🙏 (Original) Pelayanan istimewa dari security sampai dengan penerima nya, semoga selalu mengedepannkan pelayan terbaiknya. Terimakasih 🙏

(Translated by Google) Initially, this building was owned by the shipping company or NV Bouw Maatschappij since the old city area was created by the Dutch East Indies colonial government as an economic area and residence for Europeans based on the "Passen Stelsel" and "Wijken Stelsel" policies. This company was founded not far from the Sleko harbormaster's tower which is close to the Semarang river. Semarang River is the entrance to the city by sea. Now, after the nationalization policy by President Soekarno in 1962, it changed to PT Pelni until now. (Original) Awalnya, gedung ini dimiliki oleh perusahaan ekspedisi muatan kapal laut atau NV Bouw Maatschappij sejak kawasan kota lama mulai dibuat oleh pemerintah kolonial Hindia Belanda sebagai kawasan ekonomi dan tempat tinggal orang Eropa berdasarkan kebijakan "Passen Stelsel" dan "Wijken Stelsel". Perusahaan ini didirikan tidak jauh dari menara syahbandar Sleko yang berdekatan dengan kali Semarang. Kali Semarang adalah pintu masuk menuju kota melalui jalur laut. Kini, setelah kebijakan nasionalisasi oleh Presiden Soekarno tahun 1962 berubah menjadi PT Pelni hingga sekarang.

It's the best Arabian - Yemeni Food in Semarang, love the food and atmosphere, so authentic and makes me want to come and come again to enjoy their food. Their zurbian mutton rice is the best!

the mutton curry was very watered down. place has so much potential actually but didnt meet my expectations which was ok didnt expect much anyway.. could probably make it more lively and make the food better, just my 2 cents..

The best arabian food and beverage in the town. Alhamdulillah it tastes good and the price is affordable. I recommend everyone to eat here👍

Very pathetic resturant in the name of Arabic resturant. It is a scam resturant. Nothing is arabic . It is Indonesian taste completely disguised as arabic. Kitchen also is not very clean. Resturant is almost empty so you realise why it is empty. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. If you still wanma try start with one dish and smell and taste then order one by one. Only thing good was fresh salad. Karak tea is bigger scam. Nothing karak of dubai or india or saudi. Some sweet flower teA of indoensia mixed with milk. Green tea with mint also not drinkable. Avoid avoid and avoid

Mashallah! Laziz! Ajib! Big portion, delicious and great services. Cholesterol here we go!

Food is good and atmosphere is nice. good service provided by the team here. Prices are acceptable. In general it's a very good place to spend time.

food is okay but place is dirty a little bit and the food was good but i ordered muttun beryani it was good but the meat of muttun was a little bit Stiff and over cooked, place haded lot of mosquito, dirty toilets, music on background was good, chair were a little dirty, when you want eat mosquito come around you nip your skin or enter your drink...I could say its good but not enough, they must clean the restaurant and toilets also must use mosquito spray to remove insects

(Translated by Google) A very magnificent mosque building in modern times. (Original) Bangunan masjid yang sangat megah di jaman modern.

The mosque's grand design, with its iconic minaret and vast prayer hall, offers a sense of tranquility and awe to visitors. Its beautifully landscaped gardens and impressive fountains add to the serene atmosphere, making it a peaceful retreat for reflection and prayer. The panoramic views from the minaret allow visitors to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding city and landscape.

This mosque has long been on my wishlist to visit. During my long long previous pilgrimages to the Wali of Central Java ago, I passed by it several times and only admired it from afar. Alhamdulillah, this time I was destined to pray here and feel its grandeur. It’s hard to put into words, but old buildings always seem to hold their own stories for those who visit. This mosque is one of them. It whispers wisdom that has endured through time.

Wonderful mosque architecture in the capital city of Central Java, Semarang. Finally got the chance to visit and perform subuh pray before going to Solo. Many jamaah visited the mosque even before Subuh Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the toilet and wudhu spot should be improved a lot. It was really uncomfortable see rubbish everywhere. The floor was slippery so it can be dangerous for people to walk here to have wudhu There was no cleaning officer there, plus the visitor has no awareness to keep the place clean It was very disappointing

The mosque is breathtaking. The architecture is also beautiful. It has its own style. Also this mosque is HUGE! When you come here I advise you to go to the information centre first. I went here to pray by myself and got lost (but the view is great anyway so it's fine). But it is very hot if you come here to enjoy the view in the middle of the day.

A visit to Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah on 7/Mar/2020. The most unforgettable features of this mosque to me are its outdoor arch and the purple color used, maybe the number of mosque I have seen is not large, I guess purple color is rarely used. After I arrived at the mosque for a while, I heard Adzan from the minaret, it was resonant, I was deeply attracted to stay there to listen to. I even record the voice, when google map supports to upload a video, I will update. There are 4 pillars looking like umbrellas, the function of them are used as shelters for prayers in rainy days. The inner side of the mosque is luxuriant, visitors (prayers and non-prayers) are free to come in, I lingered in the mosque for more than 1 hour.

The umbrellas were closed even though the day was super bright - cost saving, understood. But the toilet and the place for taking ablution was lacking of fresh air and was wet wet wet.. inside the mosque, as most of mosques I have ever been to in this country, children were running here and there, women talk-siding loudly sometimes giggling, and of course some were taking nap..

This mosque have an old giant or big Qur'an in hall of mosque, the architecture like Medina mosque but in little version and astonishing mosque complex, in this front of mosque plaza they have very big Bedhug and they have tourist attraction in top of mosque tower we can see semarang city around here, in parking lot area they have many food stalls selling many original hand gifts from semarang city, i take a photo shot this mosque in rainy day, editing it, and voila this photo very amazing.

Founded by a prominent Yemeni businessman, Umar bin Ahmad Al-Munawar (often called Martak or Badjened), this building holds important historical traces in the development of business in Semarang during the colonial period. Thanks to Al-Munawar's vision and dedication, the Marba Building became the center of trade activities and offices for various businesses, showing the big role the Yemeni community played in driving Semarang's economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Architecturally, the Marba Building exudes classic colonial charm with large windows, tall columns and a sturdy facade that makes it stand out to this day. The beautiful architectural details and the beauty of the facade bring a nostalgic and elegant feel that fits perfectly with the Kota Lama area.

Marabunta Restaurant and Bar in Semarang offers a refreshing atmosphere, especially for those who enjoy delectable food accompanied by live music. The food is freshly made and delicious, with an array of Indonesian dishes and snacks available from 9 p.m. onwards. Some of the must-try foods include its Indonesian cuisine. As for drinks, I recommend trying out juice and vodka. Overall, Marabunta Restaurant and Bar is a great place to experience delicious food and lively music in Semarang. Note! Please make a reservation prior to coming since they are eligible to reject guests if they haven't make a reservation before. You could also ask about the minimal charge that they have.

Slow paced service, need to wait a bit long to be served. Probably since the place still new, it’s like they’re understaffed and their in training waiters are still confused about the menu even the name of the menu. They need to learn more in serving while doing physical distancing. I still got my order wrong even though it’s already been repeated before. The roasted peri peri chicken was too dry, the salted egg prawn aglio olio was good, the ribeye was bleh, the lychee and peach ice tea were too bland to taste. Food and beverages prices are above common rate so it’s pricey yet sadly the experinece is just okay. However, the place was great, really good ambience and a nice place to eat. You can feel the ‘European vintage’ style they offer. Valet parking is provided and it is free. It is best to the reservations first before coming.

There are quite a lot of varieties of food to choose from. Great ambiance, a very cozy place to chill. It’s really spacious so that customers will be seated far from other groups (important during the pandemic). Waiters sgt attentive, quick to respond to our requests. Live music and DJ 💯

The architecture and the building are stunning. They cooked Indonesian Food. Some of them are OK , but some don't. Price is quite High ( 1 person +/- 150k rupiah), but worth the experience. Really recommend you to visit Marabunta while you go to Semarang.

Beautiful heritage restaurant in Kota Lama.. delicious food also.. But in this pandemic you should really carefull because it’s indoor restaurant. Although the restaurant doing health protokol but the customer may obey it when they wana take a picture or chit chat while eating.

Authentic Historical building, rebuild to be a great resto and bar. Serving u with a great taste of foods.. It will amaze u, after u walk through the door. The interior, design, architec.. its totally awesome. I give u a note.. most of time, dont dine in without reservation.. it always fully booked.. Find it in old town of Semarang !!

Marabunta building, or known to local as the Schouwburg is a historical site in Central Java capital of Semarang. Built in 1800s, the building was functioned as the main entertainment hub for the early European settlers and rich people in the past, hosting various exhibition from comedy, circus, and even exotic dances. Rumor has it that the famous undercover spy Margaretha Geertruida Macleod or widely known as her stage name “Mata Hari” performed in the building occasionally. As the time changes, the building’s role changes. Being an exhibition hall in the past, Schouwburg undergone series of transfer ownership from being logistic office (Which decided to change the building name to Marabunta in the process), Cafe, Wedding reception hall, and recently a beautiful restaurant and bar. Make sure to visit Marabunta if you’re going to Semarang! it’s not everyday that you have the opportunity to dine in a historical place with it’s all antiquities from the past, great foods, and refreshing cocktails.

the place is very wide. the building is magnificent and luxurious. the facilities are very complete. can be used for events.

This is an amazing and glamour place Beside street and have relax air Have fun to come here

the best place for manasek hajj, ticket about 40k

this place is used for manasik or training for people who want to go on Hajj or Umrah. The service is very good, for those who are confused the staff serve well. The nuance is also good, the building is good, there is a trash bin. So the cleanliness is really awake.

Sory, I gave only 2 stars. Place not well maintained. Taman not very good. Museum bau cement and not really intereating

Came here with my husband & my sons for manasek umroh. Great place for those who need to learn about what to do during umroh or haj.
