The best shopping in Manado isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Tomohon flower market are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Lake Tondano — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
A port city in North Sulawesi, gateway to the world-class diving of Bunaken Marine Park and the unique wildlife of the Minahasa Highlands.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Manado. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Tomohon flower market — a highland market town with an exotic flower and produce market, plus hidden gems like Lake Tondano — a caldera lake in the Minahasa Highlands surrounded by hot springs and clove plantations and Waruga burial stones — ancient Minahasan stone sarcophagi carved with symbolic figures, in the village of Sawangan.
