The 33 best neighborhoods to see in Makassar

My First Time at Fort Rotterdam My first visit to Fort Rotterdam was really cool. As soon as I got there, I was impressed by how unique the place looked. The old Dutch-style buildings with their red roofs and thick walls really gave off a historical vibe. It felt like stepping back in time. I walked around the fort, checked out the buildings, and just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The palm trees and the green grass made the place feel calm and relaxing. It was interesting to imagine what life was like here in the past. Overall, I had a great time. Fort Rotterdam is a nice spot to chill, take photos, and learn a bit of history. I’d definitely recommend it if you're ever in Makassar!

(05/2025) A small, well-kept fort with very friendly staff. Entry to the fort is free; the museum costs 10,000. We happened to visit during a cultural event and met lots of lovely people (shout-out to the best security team — Flobamora Bodyguard!).

Fort Rotterdam is one of Makassar’s most iconic historical landmarks—a well-preserved 17th-century Dutch fort that also bears the legacy of the once-mighty Gowa Sultanate. Rich in cultural significance, the site offers a fascinating glimpse into colonial-era architecture, Indonesian resistance history, and the unique blend of Dutch and Makassar heritage.

If you are visiting Makassar, the “Gateway to East Indonesia”, you need to appreciate the cities history. Come visit this old Dutch fort, admire its architecture, take in the significance of its place in Dutch Colonial history. The fort itself is well preserved and the grounds are beautiful. A must visit!

Fort Rotterdam is a 17th century fort in Makassar, it is a Dutch fort that was built on top of an existing fort of the Gowa Kingdom The ticket is free and there's a local guide here and I was offered for 150.000 IDR (I didn't take it) There's a museum inside the fort, the fee is cheap only 5.000 IDR for adult, you can see and learn the journey of Gowa Kingdom and its collection You also can explore the other side of the fort

Nice historical place to see and imagine how it looks like in it's glorious past. Unfortunately that's it, you have to leave everything to imagination because the place is run down and lacking in maintenance. You may walk around the compound free but you buy a ticket 10kRP for entry to their 'museum' which is sadly non-AC and sad looking. There are 3rd party guides available for hire at the entrance and that might help understand more about it's history. I paid for the museum because I'm hoping they'll use the funds for the much needed upkeep.

This place is undoubtedly beautiful, it has potential. It needs better management. Most of the buildings can't be entered. Museum exhibits are poorly presented (Most of them have no proper lighting or no lighting at all). It needs more English signs and map. Some exhibits have English. Lots of areas are used for other purposes (I think there are people living there as i see clothing lines). Lot's of building materials scattered in the Premysis. I even found old sofas stacked on the second floor of a building C. I hope the government will fix it, so i will be able to change the rating. Maybe try to learn from Vredeburg Museum in Yogyakarta

Dirty water, lots of rubbish and smells like rubbish. Lots of the tiles are slippery and there are parts of the promenade that collapsed creating big holes. It's difficult to walk as the food stalls take over the promenade. The only good thing is the view of masjid kubah 99, and maybe some beautiful looking boats. Not worth a visit

Meh. A good view of the Masjid Kunah 99 across the water but not a whole lot more. In the evenings its your standard fare of pop-up street vendors selling local food, balloons and wares, roving musicians, etc. If you skip it you're not missing much.

It's the landmark of Makassar city, but sadly it's not well maintained. There is a lot of rubbish around the area, dirty toilets, not enough lighting, and the stalls are also not quite organized. Alas, this place can be a great profitable hotspot if the government knows how to handle it, like holding cultural events, local performance, dance & arts and bazaar. Hopefully someday it can be better

The icon of the city. Good place for taking picture at sunrise or sunset. Good place for family gathering. A lot of food stalls here. Spacious parking lot for bike and cars. It is such a shame that the water is not clear even dirty with platics and rubbish.

Nice for walk in the sunset time But smell not good,i dont know why The view was great at few part but another part looks not maintained

Nice place. If your introvert and don't like crowded places go here at afternoon but it will be very hot. But it will be nice if you go at night time

One of the most visited place in Makassar. It is popular for hangout because there are plenty local people who sell food in the afternoon till night. So really nice place to have dinner with nice view of sunset. Sunset here is terrific. A must visit place when you are in Makassar

The mall itself has a large selection of local and international fashion tenants, various restaurants, cafes, and a food court offering both international and local cuisine (like coto Makassar and pisang epe). Other attractions like Funworld, Kidzooona, and Zoomoov rides are often available. The complex also includes a hotel, making it a convenient "one-stop destination" for leisure and shopping.

Great place to spend time indoor while transiting plane here Lots of shops and restaurants

Nice clean Mall and somehow it is quiet place too. I think it will be better if you come and see for yourself 🤠

One of the most favorite shopping mall in Makassar. Plenty of luxurious brands. A place for sneakerheads to hunt their favorite sneakers (Vans, Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc). Plenty of restaurant, bakery and cafe too. Had a huge parking lot, and there is vallet services too. Great place to hangout.

This is truly embarrassing for a large company. Trans Corp should be able to achieve better quality than this. The toilets are incredibly dirty. It looks like there haven't been any upgrades since they first opened. Not like other competitors, for example Living World. Their restrooms are always clean and tidy. Please improve, as the largest mall in eastern Indonesia, it's embarrassing.

The mall is located in the southwestern section of Makassar. It is accessible by the Jalan Metro Tj. Bunga from the city centre. A sprawling structure with several themes to the exterior facade. Entry is a little restrictive as only a certain bank's card is accepted. Otherwise, a ticket is required. Once past the parking gantry, the parking area is huge. There's not much shade for many outside. Once inside, the mall has ample space to walk aimlessly. With hundreds of outlets in the mall, there should be one that should be able to attract the most jaded shoppers around. A massive red replica of the Eiffel Tower on its side is in this mall. Amazing! I found this mall particular relaxing.

Decent mall with tons of Main Street brands such as Zara, Adidas, DJI, Häagen Dazs, Uniqlo and lots more. The place is massive - at least I wouldn’t have expected such a large mall in Makassar.

Island hopping near Makassar city .. so relaxing fresh air amazing views… keep clean

Such an awsome island🥰

Beautiful small resort island, and great to spend few hours relaxing by the beach.

beautiful place♡ (　＾ω＾)

Good place to visit,, morning is the best time, clean water, many spot for snorkeling Prepare your water and snack Everything little expenses in the island Overall still Good

A nice and clean small island with quite complete fun water facilities.

This is a very small island. You only need 15 mins to explore this island. I guess it was famous before but now it seems like lack of maintenance..the deck was broken. You can find some clean beach with white soft sand. But if you want to take snorkeling you will need 50K for gears 50K for ladder and some money for the boat. If you want to just chill you need to pay 50K for bamboo gazebo. Local people was nice and humble

The historic structure sits in a large area dotted with replicas of traditional houses from regions in Sulawesi. The short distance from the city centre of Makassar makes it accessible to many. The structure itself is a testament to the efforts by the 16th century kingdom of Gowa in protecting its people. However, the Dutch East India Company managed to overcome the Fort in the 17th century.

It sad that no appreciation were given to this place by local government and people living in the surrounding. There are traditional houses being built with proper sign. But the house were closed on my visit on January 6,2025. There were people living in the house, not sure if they lived there legally but there was clothes changing on the rope to dry. I walked into 1 house that was left unlock, nothing in the house but toilet and a napping cat. The fort itself was crumbling with moss growing on the stone that makes it slippery to climb so i decided not to go up. It was not worthy risking my safety. Roof tiles of the canopy on top of the fort were gone and clearly fell down. It's just a matter of time before the whole canopy crumbling down. I don't understand why tourist appreciate it more than the locals that we are all sad to see this place. I could be better. It could be a nice touristy cultural village. They must learn from Balinese how to run a culture village

This place is the remains of a civilization long before Dutch colonial era, from here, you can learn the era of Gowa civilization that served as a trade city and fortress. Some of the buildings are still preserved, some other are buried. Many of the historical items contained traces of Gowa civilization are displayed here in the museum, some of them were recently excavated. The museum are pretty interesting, the entry is free, but sadly the surrounding area aren't well maintained. Hopefully someday it can be better

Actually was a good spot, many traditional houses from tribe at Sulawesi. Dutch heritage fort, museum, camping ground, but many broken facilities, and the traditional house is not well maintained.

Historical site in makassar surrounded by traditional houses! It's a nice quick visit. Hopefully the roads will be fixed in the near future!

Nice place for run, picnic and enjoy the beach👍😃

A large area where the different types of houses belonging to the various ethnic groups in Sulawesi are on view. Obviously built as a tourist attraction but sadly suffer from poor upkeep.

It's a beautiful traditional house that used to be a palace. There were lots of invaluable historical items that were displayed with lack of effort to make it a tourist worthy museum, no proper lighting and no English. It needs professional help to run this museum properly and so safe the items so that future generations can still see it. Hopefully government will do something to help the palace fix the museum. It's still worth a visit if you are in Makasar

This museum is housed in a wonderful wooden structure that is representative of the traditional architecture of Old Gowa, the Palace of Tamalate. The museum should enlighten you on the history of the people of Gowa. The royal family and the nobles. The conflicts. There are collections of old coins, weapons, clothing, paintings, and literature. Should you want to dress up as a Gowa noble, you could rent clothes at the museum for a fabulous photo opportunity. In summary, this museum should be on your list of attractions to visit when in Makassar.

There are plenty of students visiting during weekdays for school activities. They range from Junior High School to College students. This museum provides A clean environment and beautiful structures, it is recommended to come during the morning, 8 AM above. It won't open before 8 AM. They provide an extensive amount of information about the cultural items put for display. Weapons, Fashion, literature, currency, Cultural relics and crafts.

You can see the Crown of King of Gowa in this place. The Crown have a good design like a lotus flower. But, i think that design also similar with cobra. Many things about Gowa Empire you can see in Balla Lompoa. And of course you can take a non commercial photo for free.

One of the national heritage sites. They also provide traditional costume rental for photography purpose. Please bring your personal umbrella, sunglasses and other sun protection kit.

Museum Balla Lompoa merupakan salah satu bangunan bersejarah yang ada di wilayah Kerajaan Goa. Balla Lompoa adalah salah satu Istana untuk Kerajaan Goa. Kata Balla Lompoa berasal dari bahasa makassar yang berarti Rumah yang Besar. Mengapa dikatakan Rumah yang Besar? Padahal ada bangunan yang lebih besar disampingnya? Balla Lompoa sebenarnya memiliki pemaknaan tersendiri sehingga dikatakan seperti itu. Disebut Balla Lompoa karena didalamnya terdapat "Kallompoang" yang artinya Kebesaran. Kebesaran seorang raja. Itulah alasan mengapa disebut sebagai Balla Lompoa. Setelah Raja Goa ke 36, Sultan Abdul Kadir Aididdin Andi Idjo Karaengta Lalolang (Bupati Pertama di Kabupaten Gowa) wafat, Istana Balla Lompoa kemudia dijadikan Museum Balla Lompoa. Kawasan Museum Balla Lompoa juga mempunyai Istana Tamalate yang sering digunakan sebagai gedung serba guna. Balla Lompoa Museum is one of the historic buildings in the territory of the Kingdom of Goa. Balla Lompoa is one of the Palace for the Kingdom of Goa. The word Balla Lompoa comes from the makassar language which means the Great House. Why is a the Great House? Though there is a larger building beside it? Balla Lompoa actually has its own meaning so it is said that. Called Balla Lompoa because inside there is "Kallompoang" which means Greatness. The greatness of a king. That is the reason why it is called Balla Lompoa. After King Goa to 36, Sultan Abdul Kadir Aididdin Andi Idjo Karaengta Lalolang (First Regent in Gowa District) died, the Palace of Balla Lompoa then made Museum Balla Lompoa. Balla Lompoa Museum area also has Tamalate Palace which is often used as a multipurpose building.

The front gate is always closed, So u need to head to the rear gate to get in. It's a little bit dirty because of littering trashes around. There're couple houses on stilts (rumah panggung); one for the King family's quarter, one is for the museum. The ticket fee for the museum costs IDR 5.000. Inside the museum, you can see the traditional clothing, traditional music instrument, the King's family tree, King’s throne, and many portraits of the previous Kings. This place adorned with red and yellow curtains, giving it amazing touches. You won't get bored looking at it. The wind breezing through the big windows makes this place even more relaxing.

(05/2025) Uniquely designed mosque, with upper floors open to visitors offering nice views. Tourists are welcome.

One of makassar icon. Located in Losari Beach, this mosque is a must visit if you're a moslem. Note : in Ramadhan, they attend 2 tharawih. The first one is 11 raka'at then after that 23 raka'at. It's nice you can choose how much raka'at

People call the mosque as a floating mosque. The design is unique. The mosque is clean. It is located on Pantai Losari an icon of Makassar. You can enjoy the sun set from the mosque.

Floating mosque in losari beach makassar. Spent time for magrib in this mosque, will experiencing good view, orange sky, and many people with smile.

This mosque located on nearby Losari beach. A peaceful place with artificial design, have a lot of jamaah especially at maghrib to isya'. Additional information, the local citizen usually called floating mosque

Best place to find sunset, one of the city icon..floating Mosque located at Losari Beach Makassar

Has 3 stairs and between 2nd and 3rd floor we can get beautiful view of 99 domes Mosque. This masjid is also best to photograph at sunset time from pedestrian path.

Old harbour with lovely smaller and big Phinisi boats, busy loading unloading to support local koulies, great photosite and quite safe during daylight

Only one phinisi boat left there, can’t even compare to losari beach. No longer worth going.

22/09/25 Alhamdulilah 2nd time visit this harbor

For human interest and street photographer.. there are many photogenic spot and people to photographed

A good place to spend sunset. You will find many Phinisi ships, locals, and fisherman

I have a good mood at this place because of the scenery and the people around. What a lovely port to watch sunset and have a conversation with locals.

This place is a fisherman's port for sailing fishing, and this place is also the biggest fish seller center in makassar.

If you’re looking for some basic western foods with not too much fancy stuff this can be your place. If after weeks of Indonesian food, you can have an okay pasta and an okay burger.

This place has a lot of good reviews. But to be honest. We don’t know why. The icecream was not creamy. It had crystal (frozen water) inside and had a bad aftertaste. The fries with the herbs taste also not good. We had the feeling that the food (except of the salad) was not fresh. It was frozen before. (The grilled chicken) overall either average. Service where nice and friendly.

The food is nice, a big portion. I guess not so many cafes know that if your drinks do not contain alcohol it should be served in a regular glass. Fancy and small glass is for alcoholic drinks. The dessert was nice with ice cream.

Their APPLE CRUMBLE is to die for! I don't usually start off a review straight into one particular menu. But this dessert is definitely on the heavenly level. The other menu, Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli tasted good too, good portion. All decently priced. The cafe is clean, with plenty of natural light. Although a bit on the shabby-side (Suspect due to the Ramadhan month). Staff are attentive, but not memorable (but no complain there). All in all, allow me to reiterate something. Their APPLE CRUMBLE is good enough reason to warrant the many revisits in days to come. Kudos to the chef!

Of course I love burgers... They have so called western -italian food... Many choices of Pizzas, pastas, burgers.. They also have some local Makasar foods. You can also find gelato here . I tried their ribs burger... And I love it...

been here several times, and to be honest still wondered as to why it's always so quiet. i've tried their pasta, pizza, steak, appetizers and all went well and delicious. will come back more often i guess

Nice place with western food. Staff can speak English. Decorate is also western style. I may recommend this place. Food is tasty. Meal looks like a fresh. Seafood soup is standard western tomato seafood soup. Very nice. Try it. Some things which need to be corrected: there is no box with tissues on the tables. Coffee cups are small. As for me I like big cup. Cesar salad may be ordered only with chicken. No seafood or salmon available. Please change you menu for seafood cesar. Ravioli are very fried. Regular ravioli must be steamed. If you want fried ravioli, don’t do deep. Just light fried. But ravioli filling (topping) are very tasty. Really nice.

Not too far from town Beatiful beach and landscape I love their white sand and fish Even the coral not many varian/colour

30 mins away from any harbor in Makassar. Less tree there but still worth to visit. Nice view underwater with your snorkeling equipment

A beautiful small island near Makassar

Good

(Translated by Google) Go to this island on Friday morning at 6.30 from the pier in front of Fort Rotterdam. Pay the entrance ticket to the pier of IDR 1,000 per person. Boat and drone rental prices vary. The speed boat trip takes approximately 40 minutes. The location of the island is further away from Samalona Island. Kodingareng Keke Island is very beautiful and clean, with white sand and clear water. According to the guide, the island is uninhabited and may be checked periodically by local officials. But there is a toilet there. There weren't many visitors last Friday. Maybe for those who want to create better content, go to this island during weekdays, Monday to Thursday. For more freedom. Because the island is not big. (Original) Pergi ke pulau ini pada hari jumat pagi jam 6.30 dari dermaga depan Benteng Fort Rotterdam. Bayar tiket masuk masuk ke dermaga sebesar Rp 1.000 per orang. Harga sewa kapal dan drone bervariatif. Perjalanan dengan speed boat memakan waktu kurang lebih 40 menit. Letak pulau lebih jauh dari pulau Samalona. Pulau Kodingareng Keke sangat indah dan bersih, berpasir putih, dan berair jernih. Menurut guidenya pulau tersebut tidak berpenghuni mungkin di cek secara berkala oleh petugas daerah setempat. Tapi di sana ada toilet kok. Pengunjung belum banyak pas hari jumat kemarin. Mungkin untuk yang ingin membuat content better ke pulau ini pas weekdays monday to thursday. Agar lebih leluasa. Sebab pulaunya tidak besar.

(Translated by Google) Take a boat from in front of Stella Maris Hospital, the boat tek tek tek..😆 It's quite long, about an hour, but I'm happy because I basically like calm blue seas... The island is beautiful with white sand, unfortunately it's not well managed.. Change clothes 5k, rest 20k, cool, lots of shady trees, lots of gazebos, it's better to bring your own drinking water and food, actually there are grilled fish sellers, there are snorkeling equipment rentals, there are shoes too because the rocks on the shoreline so you have to walk to get deeper so it's comfortable to swim, but it's really worth it to come here.. (Original) Naik perahu dr depan RS stella maris,perahu tek tek tek..😆 lumayan lama 1jam,tp seneng aja krn pada dasarnya suka laut yg biru tenang... Pulaunya cantik dengan pasir putih sygnya tdk terkelola dengan baik.. Ganti baju 5k,mck 20k sejuk byk pepohonan rindang,byk gazebo,sebaiknya bw air mnm sendiri n makanan sebenarnya ada penjual ikan bakar jg,ada penyewaan alat snorkeling,ada sepatunya jg krn bebatuan di bibir pantainya jd hrs jln biar dpt yg lbh dalam jd enak berenang,tp worth it bgt ke sini..

(Translated by Google) The water on the beach is clear, and there are snorkeling spots too. 👍It's a shame the building and toilets are not well maintained. (Original) air di pantainya jernih ada spot snorkeling juga. 👍Sayang bangunan, toilet-nya tidak terawat.

Nice view and area to rest but totally griddy. They ask for 150.000 rp for person at the entry and ask for payment again when you want to sit and rest in one of the gazebos inside. Kinda take away all your fun and pleasure by asking for money for anything. Luckily they didn't ask for money again for using the toilet.

This is a terrible place, Absolutely no value for money. The entrance money is too high, bad maintenance of everything. They check your bags for food or snacks, a violation of your privacy!! You have to pay a high price to rent a place to sit. No other accomodation available to sit. The most annoying thing is their way of ordering drinks or food. You have to order at one place, than pay it at another place and go back to the place where you ordered it and wait (too long) to get your order. This all to avoid their employees to steel... so ridiculous. The client is victim of bad staff-training. We were waiting for a long time to order and when we asked where our order was, we found out that they didn't even start with the preparation of our order. This is the worst place I've ever been in Indonesia. With this attitude towards guests, I do not expect them to be successful in the long term. They don't deserve a star. This place should be closed immediately. (Visited on the 4th of August 2024)

The place that I recommend for family vacations, recreation with friends and refreshing from daily activities. Many vehicles that challenge adrenaline, so for those who are curious,,, just come, make a memory and don't think to much ....

Low maintenance, the water looks dirty

nice places to spend holiday with families, although it's more pricey on the weekend, but we can easily find discounts. SO WORTH THE PRICE✨

It is such amazing concept for waterpark. The idea is to combine local culture and green forest together. Great place for your family to come

recommend

Went here based on the recommendation from the locals (they said it'sa place for finding the best es pisang ijo. The jalangkote and lumpia are also recommended ones). Tried their specials: es pisang ijo, pallu butung, jalangkote, lumpia; and also the other menus: gado gado and lontong campur. Es pisang ijo was good enough, but we love pallu butung more👍. The sumsum tasted "sharp". The pisang ijo syrup was a little bit too sweet for us, even though the ice had melted. Luckily, on both menus, the bananas were tender and sweet enough; unlike what we've found in other places in Makassar. Gado gado tasted good 👍, but we didn't like the lontong campur (weird for us, maybe not suitable for our taste buds hahaha). The jalangkote and lumpia are also good enough. We personally like the lumpia better. The place was clean also 👌

Es Pisang Ijo is a must eat dessert in Makassar. The grab driver brought me to a resto named Muda Mudi, he said it has the best es pisang ijo in town and yes...!!! I like it very much. The green flour covering the banana is very nice and the syrup also nice... Must try..!!

At Rumah Makan Muda Mudi, our dinner exploration unfolded, revealing a tapestry of tastes and textures that painted distinct impressions. The Nasi Campur delivered an enjoyable ensemble, featuring succulent cuts of meat and a flavorful Rawon broth that truly stood out. The Gado-Gado and the Jakarta-style Mie Goreng both left their mark with a pleasing symphony of flavors, masterfully balanced. The Mie, with its ideal texture, showcased a harmonious middle ground between being overly firm and excessively soft. In a slight departure, the Es Teler left a bit to be desired, its visual appeal lacking the desired allure. The initial assurance of jackfruit presence, provided by the staff, was ultimately unfulfilled when the dish was served. Concurrently, the restaurant's staff exhibited limitations in their knowledge about the menu, struggling even with basic inquiries such as the volume of their bottled water. Notably, I've formed a habit of ordering Pisang Hijau to go as an ole-ole. The added convenience here is that the restaurant offers vacuum packing for this purpose, ensuring a seamless takeaway experience.

Popular for their Es Pisang Ijo (Banana Ice). Taste great! Winning as the most favorite Es Pisang Ijo in Makassar (see the video above). Kinda pricy though but a great place to enjoy authentic Makassar's cuisine.

One of a-must-visit eatery when you are in Makassar. Quite famous with the Nasi Goreng (fried rice), their Es Pisang Ijo (iced green banana) is also superb! Also try the Jalangkote and otak-otak. The right place for tea time.

Went to this place because of its Es Pisang Hijau. It's delicious...must try here. It's not too sweet. The price is Rp 25,000 and it's filling because the banana is big/thick. Place is not too big, with AC, clean and comfortable. Apparently...they won several awards as they put the certificates on the wall

Tasty ice pisang ijo even it was too sweet for me. The white porridge taste really good made of some coconut milk create a unique taste between sweet and salty, the green skin from pisang ijo also taste good, with a bit of jelly texture completed with condensed milk and the secret red syrup. Best paired with jalangkote or in other area known as pastel. Made from crispy skin with a puff pastry like texture, filled with boiled egg, beansprouts, potato, carrot and some rice noodle. Taste a bit sweet, salty and to balance it you have to eat with the spicy sauce served there

My lovely place to take a glass of coffee with my family

What more can I say? Y'all know starbucks. Honestly.... I don't really enjoy their coffee, I only like their cake and pastry, plus I like the ambiance here

starbucks is the first place that comes to my mind whenever i wanna go hang out or doing some assigment.

Inside a good clean mall , bit crowded the rest Starbucks standards

Went yesterday and couldn't fault the service from the female staff. Went again today and get told by some moronic male that I can't smoke outside. Yet it was OK yesterday he was probably too lazy to get an ashtray. There are plenty of outdoor areas around the mall so no need to come back here.

I came to this cafe almost every morning for the last few weeks, the cafe is clean and tidy every morning The hospitality of the baristas is quite ok but it can be further improved, overall okay

My favourite place in gate 4 of Makassar Airport for smoking while waiting for boarding, very much promo with BCA Visa, I get twice free drink in two weeks last time :)

One of our favourite spot in Makassar. They mainly offer Western and Thai menus. We ordered Caesar salad (50.7 K), spicy prawn soup/tom yum (79.7 K), Thai-Styled fried noodle (79.7 K), black canyon iced coffee (45.6 K), and tropical fruits tea (39.6 K); excl. taxes. Very satisfied with the fried noodle; the others quite good enough. The tom yum was too light for us. Good place, good vibes. Service was good. Overall, good experiences here.

Huge place to dine in, there's outdoor seating, private rooms and live music on weekends. The menu include Indonesian, Thailand, and western food. I ordered Indonesian fried rice which taste really nice, Iced coffee a little too sweet for my liking, price is on the high side. Overall is a great experience.

BCC understood the assignment when it decided to renovate the place! Food has always been the same

Nice place. Instagrammable and above all, good food!

Good food, good vibes

I came here just because I need a good place and good signal for join an online test for 4 hours. And I really satisfied with this place, signal and of course the food.

Justforhangouts, it has Live Music On Saturday Night. Ok

The new icon of Makassar city. It sighted from a unique building form with a lot of domes above but there are no structures to support it. You don't be puzzled to park your vehicle because there is a spacious parking lot. Beside the place to say a prayer, you will find stalls if you feel hungry and thirsty; game station for your children or you can just seagaze at twilight.

The mosque stands as a stunning blend of beauty and surrealism, its exterior glistening in the daylight. Unlike traditional structures made of brick, this remarkable building is crafted from a sleek, reflective sheet material combined with concrete, giving it an otherworldly appearance. Yet, beyond its striking facade lies a place of worship that is rooted in the community—a functioning mosque that serves as a gathering space for prayers and events. Its eye-catching design, while undeniably attention-grabbing, embodies a purpose and a spirit, making it well worth a visit for those seeking to experience its unique charm and cultural significance.

Nice walk (less than 25min and along the seaside) from city centre to the peninsula, were the mosque is situated. It is new and still under construction, but you can enter the mosque...

It was a great view. Public transportation kinda hard to reach on weekend or holiday from/to this place. There was photography service near the gate

(05/2025) An unusual and beautiful mosque, welcoming to tourists. Spectacular at sunset.

The 99 Domes Mosque (Arabic: مسجد القبة ٩٩) or more commonly known as the Asmaulhusna Mosque (Arabic: مسجد اسماء الحسنى) is a historic mosque located in the city of Makassar, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The mosque was built in 2017 and officially opened in 2023. It has become the latest icon of South Sulawesi Province, situated in the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) Tanjung Bunga area. The name “99 Domes” is derived from the number of domes in the mosque's design, symbolizing the 99 Beautiful Names of Allah SWT in Islam. This carries deep spiritual meaning, where the physical architecture of the mosque is not merely a building but also a visual symbol of remembrance of God's attributes. Each dome has a different size, forming an astonishing and harmonious tiered visual pattern. The mosque was designed by renowned Indonesian architect Ridwan Kamil, who is also the Governor of West Java and an architecture graduate from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). Its architectural style blends Islamic geometric elements, Nusantara colors, and tropical architectural principles. The vibrant orange, red, and yellow hues of the domes reflect the spirit and joy characteristic of Bugis-Makassar culture. The construction process was divided into several stages with considerable challenges due to its location on reclaimed coastal land. The construction required complex techniques to ensure stability and resistance to the marine environment. Although still under development, the main parts of the mosque, such as the prayer hall and several supporting facilities, are already available for public use. In terms of specifications, the mosque can accommodate around 10,000 worshippers. The building consists of various zones, including the main prayer area, ablution area, minarets, multipurpose rooms, and public open spaces around it. The architectural beauty of the mosque is not only evident in its unique number of domes but also in its design sensitivity to the qibla direction, natural lighting, and ventilation tailored to the tropical coastal climate. Philosophically, the architecture of the 99-Dome Mosque conveys a message about the grandeur of God and the diversity of Indonesia. Its design encourages Muslims to reflect on the attributes of Allah every time they see or enter the mosque. Additionally, its location by the sea symbolizes Makassar's openness as a port city that embraces diverse cultures and ideas. That's amazing.

Amazing place ..must see…looks great during the day but at night it looks amazing …

The most cosmopolitan supermarket in town. Provides local or imported foods and snacks. Sells various kinds of needs from food, household appliances and so on. It also sells non-halal foods (different fridge with halal one) also sells beer drinks which are very rarely found in other supermarkets in this city. If your are a foreigner who stays in Makassar and looking for some western groceries, this is where to go. Anyway, I recommend to try their hotdog.

Best supermarket in town, catered more for high-end consumers, hence a bit more expensive. But it offers wider variety of imported stuff, as well as local/traditional cakes and small bites.

My lovely place for finding my lovely cheesecake...I really recommend you to try the Strawberry's cheese... But now I'm trying cheese cake slice and green tea tiramisu... Delicious

You'll find a lot of imported products at this supermarket. Truly incredible. It is pricey, but well, you know this in advance. They have delicious snacks there, by the way. The service is excellent. The product we needed was out of stock. They nicely called the next day to inform us that they had received more. Super attentive!

Sorry to say, the meat here isn't too fresh. I bought some chicken legs, but they had blood all over the meat near the bone.

Best place for breakfast I guess. After jogging and workout at Taman Macan & Karebosi.

One of the historical supermarket in town. It has been renovated to modern style. Comfortable and clean.

Nice view, not so clean like expected, sometimes too crowded, but overall nice to spend time with friends or family

i love heree! it's a bit quiet and calm, a good place to rest a while from busy work :D

The new looks of the place, more elegant than before, it is getting small anyway. But still, it is worth to be visited.

The beach isn't crowded. I went there when the weather wasn't good, but I'm sure if you go there in a nice day, you'll never regret it!

My son love this place, so I just tag along with him. But, you can enjoy sunset view here, and SOMETIMES it's quite breathtaking

This beach located in Tamalate area. Good view in sunset but not manage so well

Pantai Akkarena is an enjoyable spot to swim , that's why many people come here to spend their weekend.

tried their filter (the local one, i forgot the name), standard price (35k ish). I asked for sadly it’s the only type left and it tasted off, and i cant feel the notes. recommendations and they are directing me to try exotic beans instead. place is a bit messy as well. my friends tried their matcha and thai tea and it tasted not good. still have rooms for improvement

try their signature coffee, es kopi koja, esspreso with milk n palm sugar.. i order less sugar but for me it was too sweet. maybe bcause the ices cube not yet melted as well.. but i like the coffee taste. the use toraja coffee beans if im not mistaken. and i also try es kopi susu teori, which using caramel for sweet taste. but for me i prefer es kopi koja than kopisusu teori as well

You can have a delicious coffee here. Nice place to chilling with your friends. Better sit outside, because it could be very hot inside.

I really like the coffee, almost every day my friends and I order coffee here, it's really recommended, it tastes good. thank you for making coffee that can lift our spirits

Maybe (Just Maybe) the espresso isn’t for me and some of our friends who ordered latte. If they put certificate Barista from ABCD School, and made espresso like no balance at all, please consider again to drink at this place. However, maybe this place for coffee with milk drinkers, not for coffee lovers. Hope the owner (s) able to improve their coffee balance.

ini nihh, the best coffeeshop in the town

decent coffee and service, the atmosphere is nice but a lil hot because there isn’t AC available

On arrival at Makassar International Airport, my friend suggested a few dishes to try out. Since it was my first time in Sulawesi, I opted for something safe and sweet. The traditional pisang epe'. There were so many stalls offering this sweet delicacy. However, there was one place that seemed to be so very crowded with customers. Pisang epe' Mandiri. We had to try the pisang epe' there. Tables were full and no chairs were free. After waiting for almost 15 minutes, we managed to get a table. Since we had ordered the moment we arrived, we didn't have to wait too long. The dish had the smoky smell of grilled bananas. The melted palm sugar was drizzled on top. When I took my first bite, I knew it was addictive. Dangerously so. I wasn't surprised at the huge crowd. It was just so good. Perhaps someone should try making this back in KL. And it only cost Rp15.000. Great value.

Pisang Epe Mandiri is a well-known spot for trying Makassar’s classic grilled banana snack. I recently visited and ended up enjoying my food on the second floor since all the tables on the first floor were full. It’s a popular place, especially in the evenings. The pisang epe was soft and nicely grilled, but personally, I found it a bit too sweet. The use of kental manis (sweetened condensed milk) was a little too much for my taste, overpowering the banana's natural flavor. The place itself could use better cleanliness, especially on the dining floors. While it’s a decent place to try this local treat, it may not be the most comfortable if you’re particular about hygiene or prefer a less sugary dessert.

The most crowded pisang epe place in Makassar. The dining area is on the quiet busy road side. You basically “fight” for table lol. Price is super affordable, their service is actually quite fast considering how many ppl eat there. Their menu is diverse (pisang epe with so many toppings you can choose from).

Tasty, one of the authentic epe in town, now there is many flavours but the original one still the best for me, there is some drink you can choose, the place not really clean placed on the side of the road, the serving time was really fast there is toilet availabe and the price not that expensive

This 'Pisang Epe' was sooo full of people. Everyone lined up to eat Pisang Epe, either for dinner or just for a quick meal. Pisang Epe is a traditional food from makassar, made from roasted banana and they mixed it with cheese, chocolate, also milo or a simple brown sugar (caramel). Oh, tell the seller to not forget flatten the banana before they serve it to you! That's the point of eating Pisang Epe.

The most delicious Pressed Banana (Pisang Epe) is a traditional snack in Makassar. Also, toasted bread is damn tasty but cheap price..... recommended place to visit even more is a must visit culinary spot

This is my favorite Pisang Epe in town. They serve pisang epe, jagung bakar, and roti bakar. They also serve various options of beverages. My favorite topping of Pisang Epe is Milo keju. They have soft and aromatic banana, grilled with charcoal then pressed! Generous topping and affordable price

The best nasi kuning in town. There are other snacks n food. Recommended place to have coffee time. Service is very pleasant too

Easily find in front of Swiss Bell Hotel. Good food with good taste and price. Smoking area available

Hommy cafe, nice location, good coffee tarik, nice for hangout, tasty fritters (banana, cassava)

Very warmth and friendly owner.. Great staff and tasty food... love it !!!

One of the best nasi kuning in town. Very fragrant and topped with the best meat, which is Rendang. You can ask for extra Topalada so it won't be too dry. Good outdoor place to chill as well.

the ice teller and coffee are great and the sweet potatoes are delicious

This coffee shop serves various delicious local taste breakfast

I tried several types of coffee beans that they were using that day to brew coffee. Two of them were Three Stooges and Dark Knight, each offering distinctive flavors. House Blend 3S is a signature blend from Kopi Ujung that combines beans from various regions. This blend is designed to achieve a balanced flavor between strength and smoothness, suitable for both espresso and manual brewing. Dark Knight is a dark roast variant that offers a strong and bold flavor. With a high roasting level, this coffee has a dominant flavor profile with hints of dark chocolate and a slight bitter undertone. It is perfect for coffee enthusiasts who prefer an intense and characterful taste. The only issue with this place is its limited seating, which is combined with the souvenir sales area. It’s hard to imagine how crowded it would feel if the place were full, making it difficult to enjoy the coffee you ordered.

Overall I had great experience having afternoon coffee break here. Price-wise it was reasonable. Service-wise it was reasonable too; It is not apple-to-apple if you expect St#rb#cks' service level since this is local coffee shop having local friendliness level. Definitely I shall return and recommend it to all of you.

One of the best local coffee shop in Makassar, tourists often visit this place, because they’ve a local gift shop here

Said to be one of the oldest coffee shop in Makassar. They have great coffee selection for sure. They are also a souvenir store! Be sure to check their single origin beans selection. Definitely coming back!

Great place for coffee in town, in house roasting beans in large variety of options Nice cake and good price

As you walk in, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee welcomes you. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, perfect for catching up with friends What sets Kopi Ujung apart is its commitment to quality. The baristas here are skilled at crafting delicious coffee drinks, from classic favorites to unique blends. Whether you prefer a creamy latte or a strong espresso, there's something for everyone..

This is the place for a true coffee lover, this shop sell a freshly roasted coffee beans where they roast them self at the second floor. From outside it already shown it's uniqe compare to the other shop around it. When you open the door the aroma of roasted beans struck from the inside to your nose with relaxing sensation. This shop use high rise seat arrangement and there is a standing table for you who want to enjoy espresso, they collect a local beans around the Sulawesi (this is my favorite things). In this shop they sell a souvenir from makassar and of course they sell the beans too.

It is located near the police office. This is the cheapest place I've ever got during my traveling to several cities in Indonesia. Thanks to Agoda app. Eventhough it is cheap, but the cleanliness of the room is good, the price worth the facilities as well. There is no soap, shampoo, tooth brush, so make sure you bring your own. There are no food service as well, only hot coffee and tea. Overall, if you looking for cheaper and quite clean place, it's worth.

We booked on booking, and when we arrived they said that they don’t have a room for us and that we need to find somewhere else (even if it’s 11PM on a saturday..) Not helpful at all, and obviously not doing their job correctly

It is small accomodaton that is located at Jl. Jampea at the central of the Maccasar city. It is clean inculding bathroom but it is very very cheap. It is also near to Losari beach, Fort Rotterdam and bus stop from the airport.

This place is awsome, very cheap but you should use oyo app, but the wisma is a little bit old. Anyway i prefer this place becs its very cheap.

Very affordable, clean and near to interesting places in macassar.

Basic facilities, tv was broken when I stay there

RM Veggie was by far my favorite restaurant in Makassar. Its not that easy to find good vegetarian food in sulawesi. But i would 100% reccomend this place! We stayed in Makassar for 5 days and went there for 4 days. Everything on the menu is vegetarian. We tried something different every time and everything was just fantastic. Thank you🙏

There are a lot of vegetarian options like Coto Makassar, Pallubasa, mie kering/mi titi, etc with the authentic taste.

Great place for any vegetarian food lovers dropping by to makassar they only serve local indonesian style food (so if you would like to taste local which are majorly non-veg this guys have the same spice but replacing meat with other plant based Protein stuff) worth the price and the place isn't pricy at all....

Very nice vegetarian food and friendly staff!

This vegetarian restaurant is a revelation! Earning a solid 5 stars, it masterfully recreates classic Indonesian dishes like nasi bebek penyet and nasi ayam kalasan, all without any meat. The flavors are authentic and robust, proving that vegetarian cuisine can be just as satisfying and diverse. A must-visit for anyone craving Indonesian comfort food, regardless of dietary preferences.

One of the best restaurants in Makassar. Good menue, various dishes, all vegetarian and so tastefull! And the Es Jeruk. Everytime i came here i found something and it was fantastic.

Nice Food 👍👌

(Translated by Google) Cotto is said to be the most sought after in Makassar... There are a lot of slices of meat, but for Surabaya people who like gravy, you will definitely find the gravy to be lacking...honestly, after the last visit in 2019, the gravy felt different, it was better than before (for my taste buds, yeah) BTW... Don't look for rice... because the only ones available are ketupat and buras. (Original) Cotto yg infonya paling dicari di makassar... Irisan dagingnya banyakk, tp buat orang surabaya yg doyan kuah pasti brasa kurang bangettt kuahnya..honestly, setelah kunjungan terakhir di thn 2019 jd berasa beda kuahnya, lebih enak yg dulu (buat lidah saya yaaa) Btw.. Jangan cari nasi yaa..krn yg ada hanya ketupat dan buras.
