Short shopping window for Bandung’s factory outlets, souvenirs and snacks; Cihampelas Walk has both indoor/outdoor options and is convenient for a quick wander. Typical mall/outlet hours are 10:00am–10:00pm, but plan only 1–2 hours in this itinerary.
Grab a final Bandung coffee or return to your pickup point/terminal; allow extra time for airport or train transfers because Bandung traffic can be unpredictable. If departing by train or plane, aim to leave the city center at least 1.5–2 hours before scheduled departure times.
