Getting a free day right in Bandung
Pair things. A free morning event plus a free afternoon park is a full day that feels planned without costing anything. The trick is geography: pick an event near one of the parks below and walk between them instead of driving across town.
And check the fine print on free. Some events are free entry with food for sale inside, some parks are free but the parking is not. None of that ruins the day, but it is nicer to know before you arrive.
In Bandung, that means places like Alun-alun Bandung and Taman Lalu Lintas. They are the anchors: start there, then improvise.
