Lawang Sewu, Semarang

Lawang Sewu, literally Thousand Doors, is a landmark in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, built as the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company.

Several years ago, Lawang Sewu was known as a spooky and haunted place, so tourists tend to still view the rooms in this place as a mystical place.

However, thanks to the management of the government and PT KAI, Lawang Sewu's face has become more magnificent without reducing the historical value of every corner.

Currently Lawang Sewu is used as a historical tourist spot and a charming photo spot. The building is used as a museum to present a collection of railway history in Indonesia. The corner that most attracts tourists is the basement which is said to be a place of torture and dungeons during the colonial period.

However, in recent years, the crypt has been closed by the Lawang Sewu management for security reasons and to avoid historical bias.

Visitors can come to Lawang Sewu from 7 am to 9 pm. The entry ticket price for adults is IDR 10,000,- for students, IDR 5,000 for children, and IDR 5,000 for children.
