Banten Tourism
Situated on the westernmost tip of Java, Banten is a highly diverse province characterised by many ethnic groups and languages and is a melting pot of Indonesian culture. A hotspot for Sundanese culture and Bantanese cuisine, and a smorgasbord of other traditions, Banten is easily accessible from the capital, Jakarta. Banten's culture and tradition is still visibly distinct from the rest of the Javanese cities and as they underwent rapid development, Banten retained its individuality as a province.
Located in West Java, Banten’s capital city is Serang and the province is dotted with beautiful secluded beaches and scenic coastline. A proliferation of beaches has also seen Banten become a hotbed for watersport and adventure sports. Used as an important trading port between Jakarta and Sumatra, Banten has seen rapid development and is quickly becoming one of Indonesia's most important regions.
