SPLENDOR OF SEMARANG
Semarang herritage shorex will take you to visit some important and interesting places around the city, and give you an introduction tour to this amazing and historic city.
The heart of Central Java, Semarang, with its multicultural history would be the best city for those who love exploring cities with diverse cultural heritage. It’s also one of the largest metropolitan cities in Indonesia, and provides so many compelling itineraries for you to visit.
Semarang is traversed by many rivers in the middle of the city just like Venice in Italy, thus Netherland ever called this city as Venetië van Java or The Venice of Java. This city is also known as Kota Lumpia or Lumpia City. Lumpia is one of the most delicious snacks you could ever find in Indonesia. It’s a snack born by acculturation of two cultures, Javanese and Chinese, and a typical food from Semarang.
As one of the huge cities in Indonesia, Semarang is never deserted by tourists all over the world. Let’s learn more about the reasons why.
