Pasuruan: An Indonesian Holiday Off the Beaten Path
Pasuruan is a city in the East Java region of Java, Indonesia. Originally an ancient port city, Pasuruan, Indonesia is now an industrial city – but do not let that discourage you. A visit to this rather unknown part of Indonesia untouched by tourism will surely bring delight as you will have an authentic Indonesian experience without putting a dent in your pocket.
Best Time to Visit
Weather-wise, the most ideal time to visit Pasuruan is months from May to September when days are hot and sunny but dry. August is the busiest month in the city, so booking Pasuruan accommodations early would help you land good deals. If you want to explore the city without the crowds, then make plans to go in December. If you are in the city in September, do not miss the Pasuruan Bromo marathon and the Plataran Extravaganza.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Enjoy walking through the scenic park of Alun-Alun Pasuruan or Pasuruan City Square where you can find trees and ornamental plants, benches and jogging tracks. Relax and sit by the benches in Taman Kota Pasuruan, the city’s oldest park, while the kids have their fun in the park’s playground. Stay at Bromo Cottages near Alun Alun Bangil and take advantage of their free Wi-Fi to post photos of your Pasuruan vacation. Book a cottage overlooking Mt. Penanggungan in Finna Golf & Country Club Resort, or make Horison Pasuruan your home away from home on your holiday in Pasuruan Indonesia.
