Kota Lama Semarang is a place that truly captures the heart—a living tapestry where history and modern life intertwine in the most enchanting way. Having visited both before and after the renovation, I can only marvel at the transformation and how much more vibrant and inviting this historic district has become.<br><br>Before the renovation, Kota Lama felt like a faded relic—a quiet, slightly forgotten corner of Semarang, where echoes of the past lingered in every weathered facade and narrow alleyway. Yet even then, we could sense the soul of the city pulsing beneath the surface: the old Dutch colonial buildings with their peeling paint, the sleepy cafes, the gentle bustle of locals going about their day. It was atmospheric, a little melancholic, but unmistakably special.<br><br>After the renovation, Kota Lama has blossomed into a radiant hub of culture, creativity, and life. The once-crumbling buildings have been lovingly restored, their elegant architecture now shining bright against the city skyline. Tree-lined boulevards, open plazas, and vibrant murals invite you to wander and explore. The streets are alive with music, laughter, and the aroma of fresh coffee drifting from bustling cafes. Families, friends, and travelers gather at outdoor tables, sharing stories and savoring the magic of this rejuvenated neighborhood.<br><br>We absolutely love the new energy of Kota Lama—how it honors its rich heritage while embracing the present. There’s a sense of community here that’s palpable, a joyful celebration of old and new. Every visit is a feast for the senses, a reminder that history can be both preserved and lived. Kota Lama isn’t just a place to visit; it’s a place to experience, to fall in love with, and to return to again and again. |

Old Town Semarang is a highly recommended tourist attraction in Semarang. It retains many original Dutch buildings, offering a rich historical experience. There are numerous great spots for photography. The area is now much better organized compared to a few years ago, making it well worth a visit. |

A must-visit destination for those who love Dutch colonial architecture! The buildings are especially stunning at night, and kudos to the people and government of Semarang for maintaining them so well and keeping the district clean and organized—it's noticeably better compared to old towns in other cities I've visited.<br><br>The area is lined with cafes, hotels, and gift shops, making it perfect for exploring. Every Saturday night, the district holds a car-free night, allowing visitors to take better photos, stroll down the streets, and fully enjoy the ambiance (warning: plan your travel accordingly during the Car Free Night because the steet will be closed) |

The new Old Town (Kota Lama) Semarang is now a vibrant place for all walks of families to come and enjoy, even for the out-of-towners as well.<br><br>Both the new government and store owners management are impeccable in always adding new shops and restaurants alike to appeal to the current and old generations.<br><br>In addition, the street lighting has also improved in providing ample lighting to the once dim lights of streets before.<br><br>Kudos to the management you all that have contributed in flourishing and renewing our old dying heritage back to life ✨ |

My first time at this place and I was so amazed. It felt like I was in New Orleans or something, most of the buildings were classic European style. No wonder, because it was built in the 18th century, by the Dutch that occupied Indonesia at that time. The architecture was a lot different than old buildings in Surabaya, because it was built on different era.<br>The pedestrian was pretty, too. Wide sidewalks, decorated by vintage styled lamp posts and greens. There were a lot of stylish coffee shops, too. The minus side was the car traffic, because the street was narrow but lots of cars passed by it. |

It was a wonderful morning run through the Semarang Old Town. Heritage buildings are protected, hence they were well maintained and many has been repurposed into cafes, shops, offices, etc. without messing the facades. Gardens were well maintained. A traditional cigarette factory was getting awake - I could smell the tobacco and cloves as I walked past, reminded me of Gadis Kretek. Wide sidewalks of volcanic stone tiles. It's very walkable and felt safe. It's too bad so many motorcycles used the main street as thoroughfare, so it was very noisy in the otherwise beautiful morning as the city awakes! Great job by City of Semarang, please keep this beautiful old Town clean and true to its heritage! |

Better to come here in the evening. Lights make it nice to take a photo. Just take a walk along the street. You can eat there but only a few resto there. Most of the people just walk in the crowd for fun. You can park your car in the big parking lot and then take a walk along the street. |

It's a good place to take a walk in the night. Old buildings makes its classic ambience. But sadly not bright enough, the street light is broken or not function. But the pedestrian is sterile from 2 wheeler and that's is comforting |

Semarang Old Town is generally beautiful, with a classic and aesthetic charm. However, it’s highly recommended to visit when the sun isn’t too harsh, such as in the morning or late afternoon, but the best time to go is at night. |

It is well preserved, clean, and still in good condition. Some of buildings remains in ruin, but some are in preservation progress.<br><br>The parking fee for motorcycle is IDR 3k near Spiegel.<br><br>For me, maybe there are too many bollards which the design does not suit with the ambience and atmosphere of Kota Lama. The telephone box does not suit either. Please don't be FOMO of the trend 😅<br>Mind about contextual design for street furnitures...<br><br>Overall is good. |

I think it could become a popular tourist attraction if only a little bit of car and motorcycle ban is done. There are some Dutch-style buildings that remain overall and some that have been remodeled. I think it will become a tourist attraction if managed and controlled systematically. |

A historical seaside old town built by the Dutch colonialists near Port Tanjung Mas in Semarang City, Central Java Province. Well preserved European style buildings make nice photo backdrops. Sate & Gule Kambing 29, Pringsewu and Bakso Kakap Pak Doel are among the popular restaurants here. There are free parks with artistic benches and light posts. Minus: hot in the afternoon. |

Enjoying here at the afternoon, not really hot. Many people in the crowd watching people playing saxophone. The road is clean nobody putting trash on the road. Many footage that’s we can take here. Some building is heritage and had a history, at 4 until 6 the government start to close the gate, so people can enjoy the road without any vehicle through. |
