With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Berastagi, 40 miles away, has to offer. Berastagi Fruits Market should be toward the top of your list here. Air Terjun Sipiso-Piso and Gunung Sibayak are fantastic attractions too. Locals will also probably point you toward Medan, 50 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Sun Plaza. (But we’re also big fans of Medan Mall and Great Mosque of Medan.)
