Cimahi
Spend a half‑day in Cimahi for a quick visit to the Dutch war cemetery and a local market; otherwise skip it.
Cimahi is a military‑heritage suburb west of Bandung, reachable by train, road and angkot. Its main sights fit into a few hours, so one day or less is enough unless you plan a longer stay in Bandung.
