Sightseeing in SurabayaThe Lonely Planet describes Surabaya as a hot and dusty crowded city with precious little to see (Lonely Planet, 1990, p. 288). Most interesting sights are located outside Surabaya. Chinese and Arab quarters. The old Surabaya harbour is very picturesque. Sightseeing Outside SurabayaMalang - nice colonial-type city (2 hours drive south of Surabaya). Mount Bromo - (4-5 hours from Surabaya) The nearest beach is located approximately 3 hours drive away. It is located on a small island (Pulau Ketapang) near Probolingo. If you continue eastward for another two hours there is another nice beach, Pasar Putih. Tretes: two waterfalls to see. Nice for walking and horseback riding. About one hour from Surabaya on the way to Malang.
