Subang
Spend a half‑day in Subang to see the museum and a local pool; add a quick visit to nearby Ciater hot springs if you have extra time.
Subang sits on the Parahyangan foothills, offering a small museum, a public swimming pool and easy access to north‑coast beaches and Ciater hot‑spring town. A few hours cover the main sights; a full day lets you add a beach or hot‑spring side trip.
