Jombang
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Jombang to see the main mosque, market and a park; stay overnight only if you need a rest stop between Surabaya and Malang.
Jombang is a small East Java town known for its Islamic boarding schools and lively student scene. The historic Masjid Agung, the Alun‑Alun square, and the Tirta Wisata park can be visited in a few hours. Good budget lodging and cheap bus links make it a convenient stop on a Surabaya‑Malang rail or road itinerary.
