<h2>
<u> Overview</u></h2>
Nestled in the highlands north of Padang in the 
Agam valley, the town of Bukittinggi or ‘high hill’ is West Sumatra’s 
cultural center. While Padang may be the modern commercial and 
administrative hub, Bukittinggi is a bustling market town.<br />
<br />
Although
 it is less than a degree south of the equator, Bukittinggi has a 
refreshingly cool climate due to its elevation – over 900 meters above 
sea level. While it rains here often, this is not enough to deter 
travelers who come to enjoy what many claim is the most hospitable city 
in Sumatra.<br />
<br />
The town also has an alternative name, Tri Arga, which refers to the three majestic mountains that shape the regions fortunes.<br />
<br />
Many
 visitors come to Bukittinggi to visit the remarkable Ngarai Sianok 
Canyon where giant rock cliff faces, rugged trees which grow on top and 
the dramatic surrounding mountains make this canyon a spellbinding view.<br />
<br />
This
 is an ideal place to go if you want to get beyond the average tourist 
trail. Compared to other spots in Sumatra, Bukkitinggi only receives a 
handful of visitors that use the town as a base for nearby hikes or to 
take cultural tours to the Minangkabau highland. <br />

<h3>
<u> To Stay</u></h3>

<h3>
<u> To Buy</u></h3>
West Sumatra is famous for its handicrafts, from 
beautiful hand woven Minang fabrics to intricate wood carvings. For a 
collection of the regions best silver shops housed in old Dutch houses 
try Kota Gadang. Or for traditional songket weavings and wood carvings, 
the village of Pandai Sikat is worth a visit. <br />
<br />
For 
those who enjoy shopping or just want to soak up the local bustling 
market atmosphere, the lively Pasar Atas (Upper Market), just south of 
the clock tower, is lined with stalls and shops selling everyday goods 
and souvenirs. This colorful market is crammed with stalls selling 
everything.<br />
<br />
If you’re still hunting for souvenirs after your trip to Pasar Atas, try the collection of shops that line Jl Ahmad Yani.<br />
<br />
The
 market shops in Bukittinggi are crammed with beautifully embroidered 
Minangkabau garments in rich reds and golds. Wedding sashes, head pieces
 and pillow cases all make great easy to carry souvenirs. <br />

<h3>
<u>Get There</u></h3>
A flight from Jakarta to Minangkabau 
International Airport in Ketaping will take about 2 hours. From there 
you can use a taxi or bus to get to Bukittinggi.<br />
<br />
Bukkittinggi is a pleasant two-hour drive (90 km) from Padang through the gorgeous Anai Valley up to Agam Plateu.<br />
<br />
There are frequent local buses from Padang to Bukkitinggi or cheaper shared minivans which depart from Minang Plaza.  <br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>To Eat</u></h3>
Simpang Raya, Jl. Muka Jam Gadang. This large, 
popular restaurant has good-quality Padang food plus a basic Indonesian 
menu with soup, rice or noodle dishes. Bear in mind that most of the 
dishes are spicy, so it is always best to check with the waiter before 
you try.<br />
<h4>
<u>To Do</u></h4>
Located on the southwestern edge of Bukkittinggi, 
the spectacular Ngarai Sianok Canyon is a unique geographic wonder. For a
 truly haunting spectacle, visit the canyon in the early morning. As 
dawn creeps across the peak of Mt Singgalang, blankets of mist drift 
around the canyon’s 100 metre cliffs. A river meanders through the rice 
fields below dissapearing in the hazy distance beyond. This canyon is a 
part of a tectonic rift valley which runs the entire length of the 
island. The canyon has sheer walls and a flat bottom.Photographers won’t
 be able to put away their cameras as they try to capture the 
spectacular view of this majestic gorge. The best look out over the 
canyon is from Panorama Park which is also a popular spot with locals 
who come here to stroll in the afternoon air.<br />
<br />
Within 
the town of Bukittinggi the main landmark is the clock tower, dubbed by 
the local people as Jam Gadang (Big Clock). It overlooks the market 
square, a beehive of activity and the best place to do some souvenir 
shopping.<br />
<br />
Get an insight into Minang culture by 
attending a dance performance at the museum's open stage conducted every
 Sunday and on public holidays. Night dance performances are at Sliguri.
 You might also want to check out the bullfights at Padang Lawas (6 km 
south of Bukittinggi) every Tuesday at 5.00 p.m.<br />
<br />
Take 
in remnants of the towns colonial past with a walk to ruins of Fort de 
Kock, a Dutch fortification built in 1825. While not much of the fort 
remains today, there is a lookout tower which is an excellent spot to 
watch the sunset and take in a view of Mt Marapi (Fire Mountain) which 
occasionally lets out plumes of smoke.<br />
<br />
For the 
energetic, why not make the one hour hike to Kota Gadang, a small 
village of silversmiths a few kilometers from Bukittinggi. Here you’ll 
find all kinds of silverwares for sale, from delicate silver filigree to
 pins in the form of ornate flowers.  If you don’t feel like walking, 
the village can be reached by opelet (local bus) from Aur Kunung bus 
terminal.  A number of tour operators in Bukittinggi also run tours to 
Kota Gadang.<br />
<br />
It you’ve got time, it’s worth visiting the Rumah Gadang Museum, a traditional extended family house built in the 19th century.<br />
<br />
From
 Bukittinggi you can also visit Harau nature reserve, the Pagaruyung 
Minangkabau palace, Lake Maninjau, Lake Singkarak and Sianok Canyon.
