Historic Coffeehouse & Street Food: Our first stop is the oldest coffee shop in Indonesia, where we get a taste of the country’s renowned Luwak coffee. This unique brew is made from beans that have been digested and excreted by the civet, a local weasel—an experience you won’t want to miss! Along the way, we also sample traditional street food, including Kerak Telour, a delicious omelet made with sticky rice and served hot off the grill.

Support Local Artists: While soaking in the ambiance of the old town, we take a moment to support local artists and craftsmen. Watch us haggle for charming handmade jewelry and even enjoy a live palm reading—an intriguing aspect of local culture that adds a touch of magic to our exploration.

Vibrant Atmosphere: As the sun sets, the square transforms, filled with street performers and vendors. Experience the captivating music that fills the air as we ride vintage bicycles around the plaza, participating in a beloved local pastime.
