Bung Karno's Grave

A worthwhile pilgrimage to Indonesia's late first president, it was nice seeing people paying respects and praying from around the country! However, I dislike how the exit forces you to pass over a long line of vendors. I don't recommend going to the library if you are short in time

Bung Karno’s Grave is always crowded and definitely a well-known tourist spot. Usually, tour buses drop off visitors near the town square (alun-alun), and from there, you can take a becak (rickshaw) to the entrance. But if you're driving, you can also park near the library which is really nice, by the way! I’ve been here a few times, and I always enjoy visiting, especially because the library next to the grave site is well-maintained and worth checking out. On the way back, the route is a bit longer, and you’ll pass through a market area, which adds to the local experience.

The grave is sort of a pilgrimage site for many Indonesians to honor their first president. Entry is by donation and you have to register. Inside, there is the grave and monument of the late Sukarno flanks by the the grave of his late parents. Surprisingly, there are staffs inside who are there to take your photos using your own device (please tip them appropriately). There is also a museum dedicated to his life and displaying gifts given to him during his presidency, a library, and upon exiting, a maze of shops selling souvenirs & snacks.

Good place to see the history of bung Karno (Soekarno) President RI Number 1. It has a Library and hero's tomb for people visiting. the views are a good and convenient place. Tickets are just Rp. 3000,-/people and many souvenirs and snacks for to take home.

Well taken care site. It was not crowded when we visited the place. However, the exit was kinda long. We need to go through an alley of hundreds of souvenirs seller. It was nice to be able to visit our 1st President grave to pay our respect to him.

had been here today . i was a historical fan and enjoy my tour here . u can learn about the life of indonesian 1st president here through his potrait and stuff that he had been used throughout his life . here you can also get souvenir and batik stuff which u can bring back home . tips for tourist , if u want to buy stuff , please buy from the stall after you exit the grave since all the shop outside are super expensive

Well organized for visitors flow, the maze through the souvenir vendors is kind of boring since they sell the same stuffs..

First time i visit Bung Karno grave in the night hihi. Nice place for knowing Indonesia “proklamator” history. You only need to pay 3000 for the entry ticket to the grave. In here library and museum but i cant see because must go back Surabaya u.u . The location is very easy to reach and large parkir area
