SHOPPING CENTRES

PARIS VAN JAVA MALL(PVJ)
The location of PVJ is on Sukajadi street,exit at Pasteur if you use the toll road. PVJ is a 4 storey mall, but half of it is underground. Most of the restaurants and cafes are located in the front yard, hence, you can enjoy the open air. Therefore,it's better you come here on late afternoon until evening when the sun is not so intense and the cool winds blow.

Well, there are still many things we can do here. Such as, playing ice skating during hot afternoon will be very tempting, the location is on the first floor. We also can watch movies at the cinemas. Or, we can go for shopping at Sogo department store or many specialty shops,selling from clothes to glasses,household wares to gadgets,many are branded items. We also can go to shop at the Carrefour supermarket or buy books at Gramedia book store.

We also can find miniature farm and birdpark in this first floor. Children will have fun in the miniature farm,where they can feed goats,young cows, sheep and rabbits. They also can feed various birds in the miniature birdpark in front of the ice rink. Unfortunately, the ticket price for each of these attractions is quite expensive. Nevertheless, people do enjoy relaxing in this mall. The traffic near this mall is always jammed during weekends, not to mention the difficulties to get a parking lot.

ISTANA PLAZA(IP)
The next famous place is Istana Plaza. This mall is smaller than the I described above, but it really has good atmosphere with great lighting,which makes us feel cozy and relax. The location is in the corner of Pajajaran and Pasirkaliki street, which is in the heart of Bandung, near Husein Sastranegara airport as well as Bandung railway station. Unfortunately, the parking lot is limited.
