Shopping Malls
A Local's Guide To Mall Olympic Garden (MOG), Malang's Largest Shopping Mall
The number of contemporary shops inside Mall Olympic Garden (MOG) quickly surpasses that of other previously well-known Malang shopping malls, such as Matos. So, it's no wonder that MOG has become the largest shopping mall in Malang. Its direct connection to Gajayana football stadium, the first and oldest football stadium in Indonesia, puts MOG in an even more advantageous location. It's well connected to public transpote routs. Whenever I board a Malang bus and stop at Indomaret Banjarum a.k.a. Karanglo or Alfamart Kendedes, the Grab app always shows me a cost of only around 20,000 IDR (approximately 1.23 USD) to go to MOG's main entrance. You can expect everything to be colorful in MOG's fashion stores. Authentic Malang eateries can also be found everywhere here. You can even enjoy ready-to-eat meals and local snacks in Central Market's supermarket area! Want to learn more about the experiences you can expect in MOG? Continue reading for a local's guide to Mall Olympic Garden (MOG), Malang's largest shopping mall!

Things To Do
Segara Anakan, Malang: An Exotic Lagoon Off The Beaten Path
It's always interesting to talk about places in East Java, Indonesia. This eastern part of Java Island, located right next to Bali, is best known for its active volcano Mount Bromo, archaeological sites in Mojokerto, theme parks in Batu, and of course, the fast developing modern capital city of Surabaya, which is the 2nd largest city in the country.

Historical Places
Historical Gems From Mid 20th Century In Malang, East Java
If you’ve been to Surabaya, you’ve probably heard about its sister city, Malang. It is only a 30-minute drive away from the center of Indonesia’s second largest city, so it makes sense that the same language is spoken and the culture is similar. What’s unique about Malang, however, is how it is enriched with culture, considering it is only a satellite city of Surabaya. I spent two weeks here, and the first thing I noticed was the architecture of some of the buildings. So, I did a little digging and found out that they were influenced by the Dutch. That should come as no surprise, considering the 350 years of Dutch occupancy in Indonesia. Yep, you read that right, three and a half centuries. I searched through some of the oldest and most historical tourism spots in Malang, which date back to the mid 20th century, and found these four places you should definitely visit while you’re in town.
Cultural Tours
