Cilacap: Haven of Abandoned Fortresses
Located in Java, Indonesia stands the town of Cilacap. There are a lot of things Cilacap can offer the average tourist. Nevertheless, on the off chance that you wish to visit this Haven of Abandoned Fortresses, then you must alight from the nearest airport here, which is the Tunggul Wulung Airport.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During this time, the days are dry but not too dry, and it’s generally sunny. As a result, both the locals and international tourists are out and about. Engaging in a conversation with the locals is fairly easy. You simply chat one up and fully immerse yourself in the rich culture of Cilacap.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Do note that Cilacap is full of castles, fortresses, and huge mosques. The architectural extravagance of Indonesia is beyond what any human can imagine. When you're here, make sure to visit the Fortress Benteng Pendem. This is an abandoned Dutch Fortress and it’s truly majestic. This is probably one of the most visited attractions in Cilacap. For Muslims who want to visit Cilacap, there's also the Darussalam Mosque, which is not too far from the Fortress Benteng Pendem.
Moreover, there are also several affordable Cilcap hotels within the area. We advise you to book a room at the @Hom Premiere Cilacap and Hotel Dafam Cilacap, both of which are near the city center and offer complete hotel amenities.
