Bukittinggi is the second biggest city in West Sumatra. The city is close to two volcanic mountains, Mount Merapi and Mount Singgalang. It means that the temperature is relatively cool throughout the year. Bukittinggi offers several cultural landmarks that attract the attention of many domestic tourists every year.
Due to its cool temperature, Bukittinggi is convenient to explore all year round. However, you may want to avoid times when the rain is intense to ensure a smooth visit to its various attractions.
Tourists visiting Bukittinggi are especially attracted to the following landmarks:
This structure was meant to be a sconce fortification on the Jirek Hill in Bukittinggi, built by the Dutch military in the 19th century. The local elders permitted the Dutch troops to build the fortification at the hill. From Fort De Kock, you can see the spectacular view of Bukittinggi.
Jam Gadang means the "Big Clock" in the Minangkabau language. It is located in the middle of the Sabai Nan Aluih Park. Established in 1926 during the Dutch colonial period, the clock tower was meant to be Queen Wilhelmina's gift for Bukittinggi's controller. This tower features four clocks made in Germany.
This canyon is located on the outskirts of Bukittinggi. Guests are recommended to visit this canyon in the early morning to witness the beautiful sunrise with the backdrop of Mount Singgalang. The local government set up Panorama Park, where visitors can enjoy the green scenery while enjoying meals in gazebos. The park also features a mini theater for local performers.
