Tunjungan Street, Surabaya

I was in Surabaya for a business trip and decided to wake up early for a morning jog — and I’m so glad I did. Tunjungan Street absolutely surprised me. From 5:30 AM, the whole street is already alive with locals exercising, jogging, and cycling. The vibes? Super energizing and positive! Even though I was there for work, this little window in the morning gave me a sense of peace and connection with the city. There’s something about jogging past heritage buildings, watching the sunrise hit the glass towers, and seeing people greet each other warmly that makes you feel at home — even as a visitor. Special shoutout to the friendly community, the clean and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, and the unexpected joy of bumping into groups of cyclists and... street cats! Whether you’re here for business or leisure, don’t miss starting your day on Tunjungan Street. It’s not just a street — it’s an experience.
