@2cupsoftravel's Top Tips
"Turn down the side alleyways! You will be greeted with amazing views and cute streets."
How to beat the crowds?

A good add-on...
"Visit the nearby 'Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque'. This beautiful abbey is well worth a visit!"

"This is an easy one to answer. Of course it's seeing orangutans in the wild, it is such a magical experience."
@matthewlockphotography's Top Tips
"Do your research and find a reliable company before booking. This makes sure some of your money will go to the conservation of the Gunung Leuser National Park."
