Fun things to do in Cirebon: 10 fun attractions and activities

Keraton Kasepuhan seems to be the better choice out of the two palaces in Cirebon because it's larger and older of the two. I chose the ticket with the access to all the areas which is 30k/person (domestic). Car parking is 10k. The entrance area needs to be cleaned, there's a lot of trash around and the ticket reader is out of service. The museum houses some artifacts, sadly it needs upkeep like painting the walls, fixing lights in exhibitions, and cleaning. The AI Lotus museum is not recommended, it's just a 15 minute AI video about the fight against the Dutch, and plays more like an action movie rather than a historic one. Going deeper, the back area is very poorly maintained. The restaurant has been abandoned for some time and the pools/lake are not maintained and used for fishing by the locals. I did not get a guide, and it seems it would have been a much better experience with one, so I highly recommend getting a guide. This place definitely has massive potential, and if it's fixed could be an instant recommendation if you're in Cirebon, and even an international level tourist destination. However as of now it's okay, not too bad not too good.

The museum zone and AI movie were really nice to see. It was cool to know about the history between the colonisers and Indonesian ***As a foreigner who doesn’t speak Bahasa, I felt a bit odd walking inside. Some people tried to talk to me and follow me (not in a friendly way) Maybe they were guides, but I wasn’t sure When I walked through the gate to get a ticket, a man (knew later, a guide) started walking with me, offering to volunteer as a guide, even though I didn’t ask for it. TBH, having a guide could be good here because there wasn't a lot information in English but I felt more like harassment

Well, it's a palace. I bought the Rp25.000 ticket, so I got to visit not only the palace but also the museums inside as well. Not much that you can do except strolling around aimlessly. Once we entered the museum, a guy came to us explaining things and gave us no space to say no. Even though eventually we used the service (later on we realized that he is a tour guide), it felt like an ambush. The funniest thing is the AI museum, which is basically a standing theatre where they play an AI-generated movie. The movie (obviously) looked so off because the generated images were not the best.

Cool palace with an excellent museum. The main thing to see in Cirebon. The grounds are mildly interesting, mostly for the Majapahit-style gates and ruins dating to the 15th cent (later palace sections are unremarkable). The museum is amazing, a treasure trove of 15-16th century asian artifacts. Foreigner prices as of August 2025: site entry 20k, museum 15k, AI exhibit 15k, old palace ruins (Dalem Agung Pakungwati) 15k. There's 2 other smaller keraton in Cirebon whose grounds are free (but lack the 15-16th cent structures). Note that I got a lot of harassment/unwanted attention while touring as a white person, including a group of children constantly following me and trying to talk and touch me. Just be aware.

Good Place to know the history of Cirebon especially kasultanan and the link with Sunan. Better accompany with guide so you get more detail story of place.

The views are awesome and the guide is great n helpful It is worth visiting this historical place

Overall, there were no artifacts from the 14th century and exhibits from civilization that were very old. This might have been a newly planned village at the time. There were crowns, documents, kilns, and carriages on display inside the museum. And it seems like a tribal city where there was not much exchange, given that there were more knives and spears than guns.

It's a really good place to see this ancient building that was designed like a cave? Or maybe it's a cave and constructed like a building or a place to stay? Not really sure, they should've provided some stories about the place.

People online said this is one of the must visit attractions / site in Cirebon, but i beg to differ. Upon entry the place felt dirty, unattended, and mismanaged. For background the place was built as a meditation place for the Cirebon Sultanate. The weird architecture using reef bonded together is definitely something unique, but the novelty of the plus point ends here. Everything feels dirty and the place fell apart everywhere. I must then resort to reading things online for context. No signage guiding tourists, no storytelling, stone path leading to dirt, pond becomes a local fishing pond. Even the commercial section on the exit for SME looked sad and vandalised. The government is stupid for discarding a place with such historical value. We left after exploring the place for 20 minutes. The parking lot was empty when we left.

Historical site with meaningful philosophy. Amazing. Recommended to visit when you in Cirebon.

it wasn't a big site, but it has stories worth visiting for.. we decided to have a guide so we can get the full experience.. the place was considered clean (for me) and the staff was very friendly.. although the site really needs improvements

Goa Sunyaragi Cirebon or Sunyaragi Cave is one of the historical sites that located on Cirebon, not far from the city center. The enterance ticket is only IDR 15k/adult person. I order ride from gojek ride to get there and the tariff is bellow 15k from my hotel (hotel Asri Cirebon) and it took only about 15 minutes to arrived. The sites is very large and it took me about 1 and half hour to finished sightseeing and photographed a whole place. I also took some rest sometimes if I feel tired of walking (I just sat on the stairs anywhere the sites). The sites was built on the 18th century based on the information I found online. Surprisingly it still looks in a good condition even though it was built a long time ago! If you have an acrophobia/fear of height, or you have imbalance issues, I suggest you to ask for guidance or guide to accompany you. Because if you want to explore a whole place, you need to walk across the narrow footpath (only one person can walk there) and next to it, on your right and left it has around 1/2 meter/50 cm a cubic shape hole. I think it used to be filled with water (like a small pond) or filled during the rainy season, but since it's just holes when I visit there you might find it a little bit scary to cross some passages. The surrounding area also full of irregular and rough and almost all of it has a sharp texture, so you can't use it as a grip. The weather when I visited there is scroching hot! I suggest you to bring some water to prevent dehydration. Don't forget your sunblock either! If you have a low heat resistance, you better bring a parasol/umbrella and wear an easy to dry kind of clothes. You can enter the cave, but not all the path is all conected, most paths are just short and dead-end. The sites has a U shaped path, so from the enterance to the exit gate, you just take a U shaped detour. The enterance and exit gate are side to side. By the enterance/exit gate you can find some street vendors selling some beverages and traditional chips/snacks. There is a big mosque/place for praying. Not far from there, there is a building from ministry of tourism and creative economy. Even though the building is already closed, in front of it has a notice/bulletin board. You can find several information regarding Cirebon culture, such as a traditional food, traditional dance and guide for the tourism place and they also give a translation for the international tourist. Near the building, It has a an open wide concrete field and nearby, there is Indonesia traditional gazebo/bale-bale. I saw a child who is practicing the Cirebonese mask dance. It's so beautiful! But,since I don't want to interupt the practice, so I just watch it from a far and didn't want to take any picture/video without their concern. Because dance duration is quite long, I also didn't have any chance to ask the dancing teacher, who apparently has a souvenir store or selling some wooden masks as a souvenirs. In general, I found the Sunyaragi Cave sites is worth to visit if go to Cirebon and you like historical place or object!

This place is only for sight seeing. Not so much history. Even no old photo or picture to show how the grandeur of this place before.

Sunyaragi Cave Park, also known as Goa Sunyaragi, is a fascinating historical site located near the city centre of Cirebon. This cultural landmark offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history while showcasing its unique architectural charm. The entrance ticket is affordable at just IDR 15,000 per adult, making it an accessible destination for all. While you can explore the caves, it’s worth noting that not all pathways are connected—many lead to short, dead-end routes. This layout adds intrigue and encourages exploration. What sets Sunyaragi Cave apart is its striking appearance, as most of the structure is covered in coral reefs. This gives the site an otherworldly vibe, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history or unique architecture. The preservation efforts seem commendable, ensuring its authenticity remains intact. Hiring a guide is highly recommended for a more enriching experience. They can provide valuable insights into the history and significance of the site, enhancing your visit and helping you appreciate the cultural context. Sunyaragi Cave Park is a unique and affordable historical site offering cultural education and visual wonder. Its coral-covered architecture and preserved layout make it a standout destination in Cirebon. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique outing, this site is worth a visit. Don’t forget to hire a guide to make the most of your trip!

We would like to go to pantai kejawanan not to far from cirebon waterland ade irma suryani unfortunately the beach was closed for temporary reason due to covid. So we decided to go cirebon waterland ade irma suryani for laut(ocean). But we didn’t go for a waterpark but we just went to inside the waterland instead that has a cottages around. It cost for entry Rp.25.000/person. So here it’s some ideas that would guides you to go in.

The sunset and sunrise view from our room was mesmerizing! The cottage was cozy but I am very disturbed by non cottage visitors, they had picnic in front of my door and even they trying to open my door room! If you are going to stay here please don't forget to lock your door room. I spent 2 million rupiahs but not having privacy

A good view for sea.. There Is Available rent a Cottage A nice Restourant with a unique themes Many Games for Kids like swimingpool, rent car And for ladies u can shopa aT boutique batik.. My suggest : this place very hot at 11 am - 02 PM.. u can must used a hat or umbrella

Good choice for family trip. It is clean and green. Big pools and many choices of playgrounds. But the restaurant starts at 11 pm. Enjoy sea food near by the sea.

A tranquil place where you come and sit around with your friends - or by yourself, i don't judge - and enjoy the nice breeze from the ocean. You can also bring some snacks to this place and have them while chatting with you friends. IRL not online.

Located literally on the beach, they have resort, restaurant and family waterpark. You have to pay IDR 50k as deposit before you enter the restaurant and take a little walk to their resort (for of course taking some selfies). The resort itself contains of some cottages vila on the water (I don't know the rate) and the restaurant building is like a huge Cheng Ho ship. The foods taste are not so special, but the price is quite affordable. It's one of the alternative to spend your evening in Cirebon to enjoy the sunset and sea view (which the water is so dark and not blue at all)

A vacation spot for families because there are playgrounds, swimming pools and restaurant. More quiet there on weekdays. For swimming pool, octopus stairs were already fragile, it must be repaired.

More likely for recreation or museum, old building and ancient one. Not too clean, park toll IDR10,000

At the centre of the precinct is a historical mosque with traditional architecture and made entirely of dark coloured timber. Visitors are allowed to enter the historical mosque through the small door. Daily prayers are performed on undercover area around it. Very beautiful although a bit dusty at some spots. It is understandable as maintaining a structure like this would not be easy. So please donate generously to the mosque while visiting it.

This red-brick masjid doesn't look like others in common. It looks old, and yes, historical. I came here just few days ago (Dec 2019) at 9.30 AM and the main gate wasn't opened yet, so we had to walk around to find the entrance door at the back side. The parking officer said it usually opens for public at 10AM. The relaxed ambience and the quietness create an image of sacred place. There are toilets and ablution place. Mukena (prayer gown) for women is available. People can do the prayer on the outer part or inner part. To get into the inner part (where you can see the unusual-wooden-dome's structure, special place for king's family to pray), you will have to bend your body because the entrance is smaller than the normal size. If you drive here, you can park near Kasepuhan square by paying 10.000 rupiahs.

An old mosque which located near from keraton kasepuhan cirebon. It has unique history about its making process. Enjoying city tour of cirebon has no complete without seeing and visiting this mosque.

Heritage and religious Islamic tour here, great mosque almost 500 years olds, it's construction lead by Sunan Kalijaga

ONE of few heritage mosque created by Islamic Nine Saints of Java, The Walisongo. Unlike other Mosques, the prayer call for the Friday Mass or Shalat Jumat here performed by 7 men. The primary room of this mosque which is the original building have 9 small entrances related to 9 Saints above mentioned. Now the room only used for weekly praying on Fridays and Islam Memorial days.

Historical mosque in Cirebon city. Established in the 14th century by Kesultanan Cirebon

The place is now maintained, but it would be much nicer if they can consolidate their maintenance, instead of taking money on every gate. The place boasts of sunset, but when I got there at 5 PM, the place was cloudy, junk all over the place, the surf rushed and not safe at all for children.

Quite nice place to visit if you're in Cirebon. There's playgrounds for kids, lots of food store with lots of kind of food & snack. There's also mangrove forests on each side of the beach. To get into water, you have to the end of the bridge. The sad part is there's no coastline. The land and the sea is separated by a short step concrete. The sand is very rigid, so it's not recommended to play with sand there. There's one good photo spot in there but it was closed when I'm there for some reason which I don't know.

Just wanted to share that the whole home remodel experience was absolutely incredible from the initial consultation to final walkthrough. Their great design ideas helped us maximize our space while staying within our budget constraints perfectly. The beautiful final results have made our house feel like a completely new home.

The beach was flooded when we were there. Sadly I must say that the beach is not worth to visit. It's dirty and I dont understand why the management didn't anticipate this. This condition surely happened before. It doesnt look safe at all and lack of management/government attention.

I came here because I wanted to experience the sea's ambience, and I believe that only this beach in Cirebon is accessible for everyone. Will break down the price if you go there by a car, based on my experience. 1. The fee for entering the fishing port is 6,000 rupiah. 2. spend 4,000 rupiah for parking near the spot 3. Entry to the beach costs 5,500 rupiah each person, and the beach is only available until 5 p.m. per board rule. Overall, the beach is like a backfill beach, not natural, so if you go there looking for peace and quiet and the sea, I don't think you'll find it because there are a lot of people and it's dirty (the water is brown), possibly due to its proximity to the port. There is a prayer room and a restroom, but it is crowded with people rinsing, so it is dusty and sandy. Be cautious if you want to swim or play on the boat because there are jellyfish when the sea is high tide.

The beach is clean. Good location, only quick drive from Cirebon town center. There are 2 options of good seafood restaurants nearby. Not expensive entry fee. There is lack of shade, so bring umbrella, hat and sunglasses.

It's pretty interesting to sail to the sea of Kejawanan Beach. You can enjoy this experience by paying 10.000 rupiahs. You also have to wait for few people in order to sail. Unfortunately, when we were here, the tide was high so the water covered the area with sand. The view is stunning with lots of ships and boats, hills. There are also small restaurants where you can eat while enjoying the beach. The parking fee is only 5000 for cars. However, this beach needs further improvement on cleanliness and tidiness, also on its access.

Not bad, this watermark is huge, there are several swimming pool. You can also have a walk inside the park where kids can see dinosaurs and few animals alive such as monkey, snake, bat,etc. Ticket is only 20rb. Recommended for kids.

Feels great to swim in such weather 👍. Multiple smaller pool, so you don't have to worry to look after your kids. Too bad there's no pool for adult. Cheap entry ticket. Food court menu is limited, but reasonable price. Water slide condition is poor, you need to check it first before your kids use is to assure safety.

Good place to spend your time with your family. There are swimming pools, lake, mini train, jogging track. The place is cozy and shady. A lot of seller who sell snacks and meal. You can bring your plaited mat and enjoy your picnic too. Toilets and changing rooms are available. Entrance ticket is only 10 thousand rupiah. It's very cheap with the good amenities.

The ticket is really cheap, but not recommended visiting it during holiday. It will be very packed and will make you less comfy

You can bring all your family members to play and swim at water park Ciperna...nice place to spend your weekend...please do not hesitate ti visit this place...

Large place.toilet can found easily.comfortable for family with children.some animal can be found here like tiny zoo park

Nice Regency for living, mixed houses but little airport nearest that's will be noisy others there is a swimming pool the Waterpark directly in neighborhood

Well, the real situation was not exactly as enticing as the pictures I saw on the net. When we got there, we didn't get a decent spot to park. That's one. When we entered the restaurant, the staff merely said:"Sorry, we are full." No intention whatsoever to ask us to wait or to tell us how long we should wait, etc. Apparently, they don't have any waiting-list system or anything like that. And I think it's just another restaurant with good view at night. You can always get it at any other places.

Beautiful place at night, polite n pleasant staff, good food. The balcony feel a little bit shaky but it give you the best view.

View ok

Ok

Just average hill on top and nothing else

Good panoramae gaess

Nice place so much pleasure

Too much buying ticketing, kejawanan gate Rp. 6.000, parking ticket Rp. 5.000, wbk ticket Rp. 5.500/person, condition parking area still under construction, and also dirty all area wbk

Because it's opened at 8 a.m. it's best recommended to visit at late afternoon when the temperature is more skin-friendly. Not my favorite kind of beach. No sands and the water seems to be muddy. Three layers spending: entering the area (it's inside seaports or something), parking, entering the beach.

When visiting there, some beaches pier were closed. The sidewalk in mangrove some part was broken. There is tenant for snack, but it is free smoking area; not suitable for no-smoking preson.

Hot

😊

Ok

What a sunset

Ok
