Pasar Gede Hardjonagoro
A traditional market designed by a Dutch architect in 1930, with a Chinese temple beside it; the heart of Solo's food scene.
The market was designed by the Dutch architect Thomas Karsten, blending Javanese roof forms with colonial style, and it remains Solo's busiest produce market. Inside are many long-established snack stalls where you can try the iced drink es dawet, sweet sticky rice and traditional cakes. Beside the market is a Chinese community and the Tuksupodo Guanyin Temple. During Chinese New Year the whole area is hung with red lanterns, making it very photogenic. The Galabo night market is nearby in the evening.
