Surabaya

Founded nearly eight centuries ago, Indonesia’s second-largest city has seen empires come and go.

In recent decades, Surabaya has grown into a cosmopolitan seaport and conurbation where 21st-century hotels, apartment towers, and shopping malls stand next to historic mosques and palaces.

High above this superb architecture towers the Nordkette, a magnificent mountain range between 2300 and 2500 m.
