Kupang offers a variety of options for your stay, from urban green spaces and cultural sites to a trip to the sea. Taman Nostalgia—also known as Tamnos—combines a green space with the venue for the 2026 edition of the Koepan Festival. At Pantai Lasiana, you can swim, play and take a walk along the beach.
Green Spaces and a Festival at Taman Nostalgia
Taman Nostalgia is located on Jalan Frans Seda in Kelurahan Kelapa Lima, Kota Kupang. Large, mature flamboyant, angsana and palm trees grow there. The trees give the site a distinctive connection to the landscape and set it apart from the cultural stops. If you’d like to include urban greenery in your city trip, you can make Tamnos a destination in its own right.
The Koepan Festival has been held annually since 2018; its 2026 edition took place at Taman Nostalgia. The dates answer different questions: since 2018 describes the recurring event, while 2026 refers to the specific past edition at Tamnos. If the festival is a reason for your trip, check the dates for the relevant edition before booking your stay.
