Banjarmasin

Banjarmasin, located on the island of Borneo, serves as the historical and cultural heart of South Kalimantan. Known as the 'City of a Thousand Rivers,' this delta metropolis sits at the confluence of the Barito and Martapura rivers, offering a unique landscape of waterways and traditional Banjarese architecture. Although the provincial capital was legally moved to Banjarbaru in February 2022, Banjarmasin remains the largest city in the province and a key hub for Kalimantan. The city covers approximately 98.37 km² and is home to nearly 682,000 residents. For hotel travelers, the city center and areas near the river confluence provide the best access to cultural sites, floating markets, and local cuisine. The broader urban agglomeration, known as Banjarbakula, extends into neighboring regencies, but the core city offers the most concentrated amenities for visitors.
