Beautiful Lawang Sewu at night

A visit to Semarang won't be complete if you don't make time to stop by Lawang Sewu. This Dutch-style building has long been an icon of the capital city of Central Java. Lawang Sewu not only presents classical beauty but also historical tourism. The building, which is famous for its large number of windows and doors, looks bright at night. Lawang Sewu can indeed be visited during the day or night. Operational hours at Lawang Sewu start at 07.00 – 21.00. Witnessing this classical architectural splendor at night has its own sensation. Even though it was night, the visitors who came were not small. The sidewalks are always filled with visitors who sit back or just take pictures. Entering the building, the lights were highlighted in the darkness of the night. These lights add to the beauty of Lawang Sewu. Exploring old buildings at night, of course, has its own impression. The long alleys seemed quieter at night. Even so, the mystical or frightening impression is no longer felt. Walls, doors, windows and other building accessories now look well maintained and clean. The impression of being old and unkempt can no longer be seen in this building, which was completed in 1907. You can enjoy the beauty of the city of Semarang at night from the balcony of the second floor of Lawang Sewu. After the restoration, Lawang Sewu did try to get rid of its mystical impression. Compared to day, night is better. The lights are on so it looks prettier.
