Don't forget to have a look on the chinese district. Zoo is ok althought maintenance could be improved. Surabaya is not a touristic place as Yogyakarta or somme other places on Java.

Anyone going to Surabaya with some free time should check out the Muslim Quarter. It's a great place to explore and while there are hawkers, they are much less aggressive than in Bali. We also enjoyed getting around by cyclo although you really have to bargain with them!

On my way to Malang, overnite stay in Surabaya was a welcome relief. Went to a hot spot disco called Top situated next to Sogo shopping complex. Fancy stuff going on there, need to be careful on the crowds. Good relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

I had not the oppurtunity to delve into Surabaya City itself as the city was only my entry and exit point for my trek and ascent of Mt. SEMERU.
IF one enjoys trekking, the "Indonesian style" is quite incomparable. My wife and I had two porters, a cook and a guide.
They collectively blessed us with :
superb "mountain and trekking " cuisine cooked over open log fire;
with cheerfulness and devotion to our safety, comfort and enjoyment
that made our trip memorable.
WE are surprised that there is precious little information generally available on the SEmeru Trek and climb.

Surabaya is a noisy city with no major sightseeing points. It's just for an overnight stay if you to to Mt Bromo National Park, Malang etc. Mt Bromo is a really fantasctic experience, one of my best trips to Indonesia. Malang is fine with a nice climate and beautiful surroudings. I organized all myself, i.e. local train, bus etc.

I did not really travel around as I was mainly on a business trip. But my experience was good as I find good and clean resturants.

Surabaya is a convenient city with several big malls and good restaurants. Taxies are cheap. By the way, I had a trouble crossing the street.
