Surabaya, Indonesia
Surabaya is the capital of East Java and a developing metropolitan port city, known for being the 2nd largest city in Indonesia. With a well-connected international airport, this bustling ‘city of heroes’ boosts great tourism infrastructure such as varied accommodation options (from international 5-star hotel chains to affordable local boutique hotels), interesting attractions, luxurious shopping malls with world-class brands and endless food options. Supported by its eclectic mix of heritage and culture, this is not your usual soul-less city.
Popular with both business and leisure travellers, Surabaya enjoys yearlong tropical climate. There are also many family-friendly attractions such as the Surabaya Zoo (reputed to be one of the biggest in Southeast Asia with the most complete collection of animals!), Kenjeran beach that houses a Chinese temple with a 20m-tall Goddess of Mercy statue, and a fun-loving Suroboyo Carnival family theme park.
Surabaya is connected to the beautiful Madura Island - known for its natural Hawaiian-like beaches - via the 5.4km Suramadu Bridge, Indonesia’s longest bridge. Its strategic location makes it the gateway to tourist destinations in East and Central Java.

18 Things To Do In Royal Plaza, Surabaya's First Cashless Shopping Mall
Royal Plaza, similar to BG Junction, is also known as "the mall for everyone." It's no surprise that this shopping mall is always crowded on weekend nights and during Eid al-Fitr. The food here is incredibly cheap. The food court offers a variety of local Surabaya dishes, with prices of around 15,000 IDR (0.93 USD) per item. Royal Plaza recently partnered with BRI, a state-owned Indonesian bank, to promote cashless payments. However, this doesn't mean you can't do anything without going 100% cashless. There are even free activities available. In addition to these offerings, Royal Plaza has many other activities to enjoy, from strolling around the Beauty Zone to snacking on popcorn while watching kids play. If you're wondering what else to do here, I have some recommendations. Keep reading for things to do in Royal Plaza, Surabaya's first cashless shopping mall.

Locals also refer to this mall in Central Surabaya as "Delta" because it is close to the Central Surabaya River. The mall is located behind Balai Pemuda and is about one kilometer from the iconic Tunjungan Plaza. I highly recommend visiting the unique Plaza Surabaya to see its heritage features, such as wayang prints, Javanese typography in the parking lots and mall, and the traditional Reog dancer monument in front of the mall. These features attract tourists who appreciate Surabaya and East Javanese culture. What else can you see and do here?
