The best photos of Malang aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Jodipan Colorful Village will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Singosari Temple for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
A cool highland city in East Java with Dutch colonial architecture, vibrant flower markets, and access to active volcanoes and ancient temples.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in Malang. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Jodipan Colorful Village — a hillside riverside neighborhood painted in vivid colors, popular for photography, plus hidden gems like Singosari Temple — a 13th-century Hindu-Buddhist temple on the outskirts, remnant of the Singhasari Kingdom and Coban Rondo Waterfall — a 84-meter waterfall in a forested park in the highlands above the city.
Use this page as a starting point for a Malang walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Malang. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Malang attracts visitors for architecture and nature, and Jodipan Colorful Village and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Singosari Temple reward those who wander off the main path.
Malang is cooler than lowland Java — bring a light jacket for evenings. Use the city as a base for Mount Bromo sunrise tours (departing around 2am).
May through October for dry season. Bromo sunrise is most reliably clear June through August.
