The old colonial promenade, and still Bandung's most atmospheric street. In the 1920s this was the place to see and be seen — Dutch planters, traders, and civil servants window-shopping along what was then called the Champs-Élysées of Bandung. The Art Deco shophouses survive largely intact, now occupied by cafes, vintage clothing stores, and galleries. In the evening, the street fills with young Bandungites and a few tourists. The Gedung Merdeka, where the 1955 Asian-African Conference was held, is at the northern end.
