Kampung Pelangi
Houses in a hillside neighbourhood painted in rainbow colours, now a popular photo spot that has gone viral in recent years.
Kampung Pelangi, formerly known as Kampung Wonosari, lies on a hillside not far southwest of the Tugu Muda monument. In 2017, the government funded the painting of roughly 200 homes in rainbow colours, with murals on walls and roofs. Together with river clean-up work below, it quickly became a popular spot on social media. Narrow lanes with many steps wind through the village, and you can climb to the top of the hill for an aerial view of the colourful houses. This is still a residential community, so do not enter private homes and keep noise to a minimum. Entry is free or by small donation. A taxi from Seribu Pintu takes about 5 minutes.
