Mojokerto offers a range of ways to spend your stay: collections at the Gubug Wayang Museum, a public recreational space on the banks of the Ngotok River and a shopping arcade in the city centre. There is also the city’s WIKA shuttle programme for trips to well-known attractions. This lets you experience the city from cultural, riverside and urban perspectives.

Culture at the Gubug Wayang Museum

The Gubug Wayang Museum features wayang figures, masks, terracotta, kris, Si Unyil wayang figures, traditional toys and other ethnographic collections. Its range therefore extends beyond a single type of object: figures and masks are displayed alongside terracotta, kris and toys. If you want to focus on different kinds of cultural objects during your stay, you’ll find a clear collection focus here. The city’s other offerings have a different emphasis and can be considered according to your personal interests.

Riverside and evening views

Taman Bahari Mojopahit is a public recreational space on the banks of the Ngotok River. From there, you can see the river at sunset. This gives the place a different character from the museum: here, the focus is on the river and public recreation, not a collection. If you’d also like to include a riverside element in your choice of things to do in the city, the sunset is a specific point of interest here.

Getting around and urban orientation

The Benteng Pancasila complex is a shopping arcade in central Mojokerto, with a range of small and medium-sized businesses. It adds an urban, shopping-oriented destination to the options. Its purpose differs from the collections at the museum and the recreational space by the river: here, the focus is on the arcade and the businesses located there. This makes Benteng Pancasila a useful reference point for travellers who want to include a shopping destination in their idea of Mojokerto, alongside culture and riverside scenery.

WIKA (Wisata Keliling Kota) is a programme run by the Mojokerto city government that provides shuttle vehicles for trips to well-known city attractions. It adds a mobility option to the range of things to do. Check the current timetable before your trip before planning a specific ride. That way, you can take the shuttle information into account when exploring the city without assuming a ride is available without checking.

Choose the right focus for your search

When looking for a hotel in Mojokerto, your travel interests can be a good starting point: would you like to focus on collections, a public riverside space or a shopping arcade in the city centre? These places offer different starting points for choosing your stay. WIKA provides additional guidance for trips to well-known attractions; factor in the current timetable if you’d like to use the shuttle programme.
