2025 Bogor City Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

On the Indonesian island of Java, there's a city especially blessed by nature—Bogor. Located just 60 km from Jakarta, it feels like a hidden world. Bogor holds the title of "World Thunder Capital," experiencing thunderstorms approximately 322 days a year. Lightning flashes across the sky, as if nature itself is playing a thrilling symphony. Abundant rainfall and a pleasant climate have created a paradise for plants—the Bogor Botanical Gardens. Founded in 1817, these gardens span 87 hectares and house over 15,000 species of rare plants. Stroll through the grounds, where towering palm trees provide shade and exotic tropical flowers bloom in vibrant colors, showcasing nature's vitality. History has also left its mark on Bogor. The Bogor Palace stands as a testament to Indonesia's rise and fall, its intricate carvings and elegant interiors whispering tales of past glory. As night falls, venture into local restaurants to savor Indonesian delicacies like satay and gado-gado salad, experiencing the delightful fusion of spices and ingredients. Bogor awaits, ready for you to unveil its secrets.

Taking advantage of last week's public holiday to find coffee shops along the TransPakuan Bogor route, we headed to West Bogor to visit a cozy café tucked away in an alley with a Hobbit house-style concept called KELOR TIGA. Kelor Tiga is located in Kelor alley, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. The café is multi-leveled and offers several seating areas: by the fish pond, in the outdoor area under the shade of trees, or indoors with air conditioning and a covered seating area. We consider Kelor Tiga one of the best spots for daydreaming in Bogor. We were delighted to see the wide variety of menu options they offer, from Manual Brew to Mocktails and Espresso-based drinks. We tried the barista's recommendation, the Purple Latte. If Spotimin had come in the morning, we could have enjoyed their 15K Morning Coffee promo. #goodfoods #instatravel #foodphotography #trip #familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks #cherryblossom2024 #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #coffeeshop #coffee

#wheretogo Back in 2019 - first thing first when touch down is—— the best Ayam Penyet in town! Always and forever will be my no 1 fav. Tender ayam kampung with authentic Indonesian sambal. Just different.. can’t even get in Malaysia. Maribaya Lodge — A place with a lot of attractions especially for photos 😂 Pay for the sake of ootd and instagramable. Lembang Floating Market — a must visit place for culture and see sight. Other than the view, you also can have a lunch with variety of Indonesian foods here. Rumah Mode— another round of quick shopping before fly off back home. Ofcouse factory outlet price never go wrong and you can’t avoid but to buy😂 Lastly— my fav drink and I remember I ask the driver to drop by the convenient store just to buy this for the last time before fly off. Chocolate flavour is my fav. Not in the picture — my jackfruits chips and Bagalen Cheese from Kartika Sari. A must purchase when you in Jakarta/ Bandung. Dec, 2019

There are many cafes around Bogor Station. This time I went to "Uncle Jo Coffee Shop". Inside the shop, which has an American-style interior, there is a large world map. You can enjoy your time while looking at what kind of beans are used to make their specialty coffee. This time I ordered red velvet. I always see this red velvet in cakes and sweets, but I still don't know what it is. It was about a 5-minute walk from the station, so I think it's the perfect place to take a break. Be careful, as there are not many seats! #IndonesiaTrip #Indonesia #Cafe

Qahua comes from Arabic which means coffee, as the name implies this place is not just a regular coffee shop but also produces its own coffee from Gayo.

In total there are 3 floors, below there is a bar and non-smoking indoor area, the 2nd floor is also divided for indoor non-smoking and semi-outdoor areas for smoking, while the 3rd floor is for the kitchen and prayer room.

When I took a photo of the steps, I thought I'd order first and then take another photo. I even forgot the house, even though I took a photo of the side and I was next to it for a long time, but only remembered when I got home The place is mostly outdoor, what is in the house is the indoor area. The concept is Japanese, so from the decor to the all-Japanese menu. Menu other than coffee and non coffee. Food includes pastries, light bites and main courses. There's also a rice bowl of chicken sambal matah, but I've eaten a similar menu elsewhere before, so I didn't order it. I just ordered this "Komikan" coffee mocktail with orange flavour. This coffee uses cold brew. The taste is really fresh, it's dominantly orange, so it's like drinking orange juice, especially when there are sweet and quite large pieces of orange. . .

It was raining but they make us interesting with theirs attractions.

Found this gem after trying out a cafe called Highlanders just right next to this one. Both cafes are super cozy if you are looking to get some fresh natural air and amazing mountain view! The food here is much better than the ones I tried in Highlanders however. The ambiance gave me that Hogwart’s vibe 😂 It got great spots for photos. The price of the food is mid range, worth it for the great mountain view to be honest. Oh yes, this is also a resort. Although I didn’t explore around to check out what the rooms look like but I believe spending a night there cost around 1.5 mio. Highly recommended! #café #decembertravel #scenicspotguide #naturalwonders

One of the tastiest cake

There are not many coffee houses in this area. Yet this one has a nice ambience. Has their own coffee roaster too. Looks like a small shop from the outside, but there’s a larger outdoor dining area in the inside of the establishment. Truly a hidden gem. a nice place to visit for hanging out with friends. love this coffeeshop! the prize was quite cheap but yet they served a nice coffee as well. And maybe adding some proper and cozy musics can be a lot more cooler ,so we don't need to get distracted by the traffic every now and then.. oh and one more thing, please make sure that your sealed packages are working really well on the take out as it was spilled all over when i took out my blue smoothies, but over all, it's all great. Plus = The place is spacious, the view on the top floor is good, the prices for food and drinks are standard, the wifi is fast if you connect to the cellphone it often disappears, if the wifi is stable on the laptop, you don't use check in or log in, the payment can also be cash or qris, the menu can be scanned on the barcode, the location is on the side of the road. Minus = for those who like to hang out for a long time (who need plugs) it might be a bit difficult, because in the main building, there are no plugs at the top, the plugs are in the side room and it's limited in number, for those who order food, especially sweet ones, it can't be ignored long, because there are many ants. Overall recommended for those who just hang out with friends or while working or doing assignments, the wifi is fast. #café #unforgettableexperiences #urbanexplorer

classic italian ambience, recommend for food photography

Bogor is known as the City of Rain and its culinary variety. You can find specialties such as pickles. Bogor also has a lot of interesting tourist attractions and we must visit one by one. Add it to your vacation list to visit The Highland Park Resort. Highland Park Resort is an inn located on an area of ​​12 hectares. The attraction of this place is its very unique concept. Famous for its upscale status, this place has a Mongolian concept. That is a border country between Russia and China where the place consists of white tents lined up against the backdrop of Mount Salak. The existence of this luxurious camping site was originally a place for Chrysanthemum and Anthurium flower nurseries. Previously, the owner of this resort owned land intended for flower nurseries and then sold it in Jakarta and even international customers or exported it. At that time, Anthurium was like a wave of love. The price is quite decent. However, there is one type of Anthurium that is flowering and cultivated and the results are also decent. People who visited the nursery until the afternoon had difficulty finding a place to stay. In addition to offering a good location, visitors are also treated to views such as paintings because Mount Salak is right in front of visitors. From there emerged the unique concept of the Mongolian and Apache tents. The Mongolian Camp has also been patented so that when there are other Mongolian camps, the knowledge of The Highland Resort Park must be made. #beautifulsunsets#themepark#nationalpark

Yujo is only a few days old, but is widely heard as the coolest Japanese restaurant in Bogor. After seeing the architecture of the building, it turned out to be really cool, the flower garden at the front beautifies Yujo, then a line of Japanese lanterns are greeted by the entrance. Entering the area in the restaurant, the focal point of the interior is an artificial cherry tree in the middle of the main sitting room, the lighting also seems shady, the sushi bar is at the back with lantern decorations. In addition to the main sitting room, there is also a private room with a garden view, this is really cute if all the renovations have been completed. The service is quite fast even though there are many visitors, fyi before opening hours at 11, the queue is already snaking. Even though it is written in the Instagram bio that you don't accept reservations, in fact when there are some guests who enter with the final words "already made a reservation" or maybe there are certain regulations that can be directly with the receptionist. The menu choices are quite numerous and tempting, mostly I order sushi, there is the Assorted Inari Bomb (42k) which consists of three Inari pieces with different toppings. Also order Yujo Aburi Sushi (85k) in the form of a lantern-shaped display with several variants of sushi sashimi. In my opinion, the sushi is the right size, the toppings are fresh, but the sour taste is quite sharp on the tongue, just as tight as the dressing in the Salmon Avocado Salad (32k), this makes the salmon and avocado lose their sad taste. #café#romanticrestaurant
