Getting there & away
The bus terminal (Jl Veteran) is conveniently located near the centre of town. You can also catch buses to Medan (8000Rp, 2½ hours), anywhere along the main street; buses run to and from Medan between 6am and 8pm.
To reach Danau Toba without backtracking through Medan, catch an opelet to Kabanjahe (2500Rp, 20 minutes) and change to a bus for Pematangsiantar (12, 000Rp, three hours), then connect with a Parapat-bound bus (10, 000Rp, 1½ hours). It is a little bit of a pain but gets there in time.
Berastagi is the southern approach for visits to Gunung Leuser National Park. To reach the park, catch a bus to Kutacane (40, 000Rp, five hours).
