Explore and Tour Banda Aceh

Banda Aceh is the capital of the Aceh province. It is interesting to visit the cemetery ‘Kerkhof’, where Dutch and Indonesian soldiers were buried during the thirty-year war between the rebellious Aceians against the Dutch colonial regime.

One of the most beautiful mosques in Indonesia is the Baturrahman Mosque in Banda Aceh, built by a Dutch architect in 1877 to create goodwill among the Acehnese people during this uprising.
