Makassar

Makassar is known as one of the nation's greatest port for centuries, hence the plenty of monuments and historic neighborhoods from the Kingdom of Gowa era to Dutch occupation era. You sure want to pay a visit to the city's most iconic landmark called Fort Rotterdam, a well-preserved complex which was playing an essential role in Makassar's history. Take a pete pete ride (local mass transportation) and go to Old Gowa to explore the remnants of the former Kingdom of Gowa. If you want to enjoy leisure time like locals do, take a stroll along the Losari beach promenade where you can spot the floating mosque and savor the coastal views.
