SURABAYA SHORE EXCURSION: HOUSE OF SAMPOERNA, HEROES MONUMENT & ARAB QUARTER

Surabaya is Indonesia's second city and a big working port in East Java. The day is about its history.

The route (about 6 to 7 hours)

• House of Sampoerna, an old Dutch building where you can watch women roll clove cigarettes by hand at great speed.
• The Heroes Monument and museum, for the battle of Surabaya in November 1945, a turning point in the fight for independence.
• The Arab quarter and Ampel mosque, with a busy market lane.
• The submarine museum, a real Soviet-built submarine on land, and the Sanggar Agung temple with its four-faced Buddha.

Mount Bromo is about 4 hours away and not possible on a normal port day.
