"Braga Punya Cerita" literally means this place has a tale to tell or the place filled with the history. Yep! I am delighted to share my travel memories of Braga street Bandung-Indonesia that has been known since 1920.Braga is one of the spots that you must visit when you come to Bandung. It is located in the heart of Bandung, famous 1920s as a promenade street, a European ambiance of chic cafes, boutiques, and restaurants along the street propelled Bandung as the Dutch nicknamed Parijs van Java ("Paris of Java").

By the time I arrived at the hotel from Lembang, I was told that we must spend a little hour around Braga while we were still in Bandung. So we all agreed and straightly made our way to Braga. It took around 20 minutes from the hotel by Grab. What a night! I and my friends started exploring Braga by taking a long walk. Passing the narrow pathways that come along with the sound of the Bandung crowd and that was truly unique experience for me as the first time visitor. Actually, it is easy to get Braga from various points of Bandung, even we can reach by every vehicle. Due to the first time visiting Bandung and afraid of being lost, we decided to go by Grab.

We made a shortstop to watch the cultural attraction that was being performed by Chinese community in welcoming the New Year. Many people also took a chance to watch this unique event. After spending some times watching the Baronsai, we continued walking, following the pathways that led us to the cafe. Braga street is the only street that builds with cobblestones instead of asphalt. The pathways that we passed thru were also renovated with paving blocks and many benches place in the sidewalk.

I wished I came here in the morning or in afternoon so I could explore much more about the interesting stuff of Braga street, even so I tried to enjoy the half night by taking walk from west to the east and having a good drink in the cafe. As far as my eyes could see, Braga provide plenty restaurants, cafes, cinema, pubs, a gym and the hotel. Since Braga is also well known with historical and relaxed ambience, many travellers or visitors (locals and international) love to stay around this area.

Having completed my day in Lembang and Braga was my second list of feeling the warm air in Bandung. Braga was kind of the night gateway to forget the weariness and stressful life. So, we managed to enjoy every moment that we had during in Braga. Hanging out in the cafe, watching the cultural event, shopping and enjoying live music as well as the people.
