Bubutan by Tugu Pahlawan
An introduction to Surabaya’s independence history around the memorial and its underground museum.
From the center of “Bubutan by Tugu Pahlawan”
Straight-line distances between zone centers
- What it gives
- Visit the monument and the museum’s historical collection at the same site.
- What it costs
- The underground museum needs a separate paid visit; budget admission in addition to a walk around the memorial. Check the museum ticket listing when planning the visit.
Why this radius: 300 m is an editorial view around Tugu Pahlawan. Selected references are the complex, museum, Monumen Nol Kilometer and Pasar Pagi Tugu Pahlawan: about 15–247 m from the preserved center. Add 50 m to the maximum, then round upward to 100 m. Polygon references are bbox midpoints, not entrances; this is not the whole Bubutan boundary or route time.
