About Surabaya
According to folklore, Surabaya's name derives from the Javanese wordsSuro, meaning shark, andBoyo, meaning crocodile. With over 2 million people, Surabaya is the second-largest city inIndonesia. While many people come for business, Surabaya is also a gateway city forMount BromoandBali. The city's tree-lined streets and renovated pavements will impress those newly arrived from other cities in the archipelago, though in general the city's attractions tend to be more apparent to those who make it their home rather than to short-term visitors. Put in the effort here, and you'll have an authentic, fascinating, unique experience of an Asia that once was: get it while it lasts. Very tropical and you need to wear casual, light clothes: T-shirts, shorts, sandals or shoes. Temperatures vary little
