Kampung Lawas Maspati
A century-old alley community in the city center, preserving colonial-era houses, an old school, and traditional games. Residents guide visitors through everyday Surabaya life.
Kampung Lawas Maspati is located in the Bubutan district of downtown Surabaya and is a flagship of the city's 'Old Village' (Kampung Lawas) conservation program. Its alleys contain Dutch-style houses built from the late 19th to early 20th century, a house used as a stronghold during the 1945 Battle of Surabaya, an old school, and traditional workshops. Residents organize hospitality on their own initiative, so visitors can try traditional games, taste homemade snacks, and buy handicrafts. The lanes are clean and green, making it a good place to understand the lives of ordinary Surabaya residents. Please respect residents' privacy.
