Why Walk Makassar

Makassar — historically known as Ujung Pandang — is eastern Indonesia's largest city and has been a maritime trading hub for centuries. Fort Rotterdam, a well-preserved 17th-century Dutch fortress on the waterfront, is one of the best-maintained colonial-era forts in Indonesia. The city is famous for its seafood — the Losari Beach waterfront comes alive at sunset with food stalls.
