Bogor

The city is also known as a center of art and culture bubbling with many intriguing and historical sights spanning from museums, theaters, cemeteries, churches, the Bogor Palace and other historical sites dating back to the Dutch colonial era. The history of Bogor dates back to the 7th Century when it was once the capital of the Sunda Kingdom and it was known as “The City of Rivers.”

One of the main attractions in Bogor is the Botanical Gardens. This charming garden boasts rich beauty with its immaculately cared-for gardens, calming ponds, and gushing fountains.
