Surabaya
is business as usual
Welcome to Surabaya
Your initial impressions aren't likely to be great. Polluted, congested, business-driven, Surabaya doesn't seem ideal for tourism. Just crossing the eight-lane highways that rampage through the centre is a challenge in itself. Attractions are slim on the ground, and against the calm of rural east Java, it is pandemonium writ large.
