Located deep inland in Indonesia’s East Java province at an elevation of 3,127 feet (953 metres), Batu is surrounded by high peaks. As locals know, the city is a great starting point for visits to the whole province with the metropolis of Surabaya just 65 miles (105 kilometres) away and Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park’s two active volcanoes over 30 miles (50 kilometres) away. However, if you live within Batu’s city limits, there’s plenty to rediscover for an in-town breather. Take your kids to Jatim Park, an entertainment complex that features an amusement park, a zoo and a quirky museum. It’s guaranteed fun for the whole family. Adventurous souls can also try paragliding from Taman Langit Gunung Banyak, a sculpture park overlooking the city. If you just want to sit back and relax, a staycation might be in order.
