The city of Jember was once a humble district known for its coffee and tobacco plantations. It became better-rounded after The Jember Fashion Carnival was set up, and visitors from far and wide come to take part in this spectacular event. When the carnival isn’t under way, Jember serves as an excellent base for exploring the southern part of East Java. The point of entry serving Jember is the
Noto Hadinegoro Jember Airport.
The Jember Fashion Carnival is undoubtedly the greatest draw for visitors. The 3-day event is recognized as the fourth largest carnival in the world, and the parade runs along the world’s longest catwalk, measuring in at 3.6km. An extravagant and colorful display of Indonesian fashion is combined with international trends for hundreds of thousands of spectators, making this Indonesia’s largest party. Outside the festival season, this Gateway to East Java opens up incredible landscapes and natural wonders for exploration. Mount Bromo is certainly one of the most popular, and the world’s largest acid lake –
Ijen – is undoubtedly a sight to behold. Several national parks and reserves, vast plantations, and other fascinating cities are within easy reach when staying in Jember.
Accommodation is easily found within the city center and along the main thoroughfares. Find the most suitable accommodation for you by clicking on our interactive map and exploring Jember for hotels and must-see destinations.
