With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Pakisaji, 19 miles away, has to offer. Alun-Alun Kota should be at the top of your list here. GOR Ken Arok and Sempu Island are also not to be missed. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Batu, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Batu Secret Zoo. (But we’re also big fans of Jawa Timur Park 2 and Air Panas Cangar.)
