Surabaya, however you want it.

Surabaya – A Melting Pot of Cultures and Modern Marvels! Surabaya, a city that has been attracting immigrants from all over Indonesia for centuries, is a melting pot of cultures. From the Arab quarter, founded by Middle Eastern traders, to the Chinese quarter, inhabited by descendants of traders who settled here over five centuries ago, Surabaya is a fascinating blend of ethnicities. Located on the south bank of the Kalimas River estuary, Surabaya is a modern city that is fast-growing and bustling with life. It is the second largest city in Indonesia and a major centre for shipbuilding, heavy manufacturing, and light industry. Surabaya is also a major financial centre, making it a hub of activity. The city is constantly evolving, with ambitious new developments on the horizon, including the construction of Southeast Asia’s longest bridge, which will link Surabaya to the island of Madura. The city centre is a vibrant and lively place, where limousines, taxicabs, buses, bemo minibuses, and becak scooter-taxis jostle for space on the busy avenues. Gleaming hotel, apartment, and office towers dominate the skyline, giving the city a modern feel.
