About
About Cilegon
Cilegon is a major coastal industrial city in Banten province, Indonesia, covering 162.51 km2 (62.75 sq mi). It is located on the island of Java.
Being mainly an industrial city, Cilegon itself is not very touristic. However, its location on the western coast of Java makes it a good stopover point in the middle between the national capital Jakarta, the tourist destinations to the south such as Anyer and Ujung Kulon National Park, and the island of Sumatra on the other side of the Sunda Strait.
