From the train station, the location must be seen, and closest is the "Istana Bogor" - Bogor Palace, at Ir. H. Juanda Street. This palace is the resting place of the president but is now only used for special activities of government. If you want to look into the palace, the palace was opened to the public in celebration of the birthday of Bogor around June. There are about 450 paintings and 360 sculptures which decorated the Palace area of almost two hectares.
Although not able to get into the palace, not to be disappointed because the building of this palace can still be seen. There are still interesting things that can be enjoyed from this Bogor palace. In the expanse of the courtyard area of 26 acres, there are hundreds of white-spotted deer. The deer are not from Indonesia, but Africa, but was able to adjust to the weather in Bogor.
Bogor Palace is one of Dutch heritage, along with Kebon Raya and several surrounding buildings, including the church of Santa Maria is located opposite the Palace. The church is included in the school compound and bruderan Budi Mulia. In addition to the Bogor Palace, Jakarta Raya that was behind the palace would have to be visited.
Some locations in the garden which was built in 1817 it must be visited such as: multiple flower gardens and artificial ponds in some corner of the garden, Lady Raffles monument built to commemorate the wife of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles who had served as governor of Buitenzorg, Amorphophallus titanium that only bloom in early to mid-year. There were five Amorphophallus titanium in it. When Amorphophallus titanium in bloom, height can reach 2.5 meters.
To fill the stomach, is not enough if you do not feel Sundanese cuisine in Bogor. My favorite places to feel empal, sour vegetables, and leunca is a diner located in the Sunda Purwakalih Batutulis.
If you arrive at lunchtime, this shop will be easily found because the rows of cars parked along the street. However, if instead of lunch hour, carefully missed, because in front of the restaurant is no signpost name of the restaurant at all. The sign is before the junction between Batutulis and Cipaku stree.
The restaurant has been standing since 1974 and consistently sells empal and sour vegetables. Every day, about 10 pounds of beef processed into empal and sour vegetables. In addition to meat and vegetable empal tamarind, another mainstay of the menu is prime rib soup, shrimp bakwan, empal offal, Pepes, and leunca. What makes this place a favorite, aside from the atmosphere of the restaurant that like a house, of course, food at very affordable prices ranging from Rp 5 thousand - Rp 20 thousand.
Usually, after eating there, I took time to come to Asinan Bogor, the pickled store, located in Sukasari, not far from Batutulis. Asinan Bogor is also not lose time with Purwakalih restaurant.
Bogor pickled snack business is even selling thirty-three years, starting in 1978. I remember this pickled has been selling in Gedung Dalam street and now have moved in and began to expand Sukasari place. On the back of the shop in front of the street Sukasari, there is one more outlet that place more comfortable. In addition to pickled vegetables and fruits, there are also pickled roasted corn and pickled vegetables plus nuts. pickled prices ranging from 14 to 16 thousand rupias. Every time the family came in Bogor, my mother always come to this place.
For factory outlet, my favorite factory outlet is in Katulampa SKI. Factory outlet specializing in selling various models of bags. Katulampa is not only a place of bag, but also a place of shoes and family recreation.
Whereas if you want to spend time having dinner with a romantic atmosphere and feel the atmosphere of the past Bogor, Mit Liefde Cafe located at Jalan Pangrango is the right choice. With the architects of the building is not altered as the old Dutch houses plus the food menu is also much reference to the Dutch cuisine, eating dinner at Mit Liefde dinner feels like in Bogor on the past.
