The fourth largest city in Indonesia, Medan presents a beautiful balance of Indonesian culture and colonial influences. Sprawling greens and houses inspired by the Dutch stand in contrast to rustic shophouses. Its diverse ethnic groups have also given rise to a cuisine with its own distinct flavour. Plus, Medan is the gateway to Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world.
