" It’s a historical place, one of the most visited places in Semarang. People are attracted by its spookiness. It’s also a nice spot to take pictures. However it can be too overly crowded during holidays and it’s really difficult to park here. There’s no special designated area for parking. It’s also located in one of the most crowded road in Semarang. "

Selain tempat wisata yang bagus buat belajar sejarah tentang per-kereta-apian Indonesia, gedungnya juga aesthetic banget, banyak foto foto tentang sejarah kereta api, banyak juga miniatur kereta api yang dibuat langsung dari belanda, disini juga disediain ruang untuk nonton sejarah per-kereta-apian Indonesia, di lawang sewu ini juga ada pohon mangga yang tahun ini umurnya genap 100 tahun.

" A Dutch historical building which used to house the railway company. The building used to be in quite a dilapidated state. The local government decided to renovate the building and turn it into a landmark. The outside and inside of the building look great. If you visit make certain to see the stained glass window in the central hall. The attic of the main building is also worth a visit if you want to see a big group of bats. The central courtyard is used for entertaining the kids with games and replicas of the old trains. The building is quite hot as it is impossible to keep cool. Be aware that around the entrance and exit are crowded with street hawkers and beggars. "

And then for some reason, they leave it.

Menurut saya waktu berkunjung terbaik sekitar pukul 16.30. Karena kita masih ada waktu untuk explore bangunan dan mendapat foto serta suasana yang bagus pada senja hari. Cobalah untuk menggunakan fasilitas toilet di dalam karena toilet yang ada sangat bersih serta masih terjaga keaslian propertinya. "
