Makassar is home to several prominent landmarks including the 16th century
Dutch fort Fort Rotterdam, Trans Studio Makassar—the third largest indoor theme park
in the world and the Karebosi Link—the first underground shopping center in
Indonesia.
Makassar has several famous traditional foods. The most famous is Coto
Makassar. It is a stew made from the mixture of nuts and spices with beef parts which
include beef brain, tongue and intestine. Konro rib dish is also popular traditional food
in Makassar. Both Coto Makassar and Konro are usually eaten with Burasa, glutinous
rice with coconut milk and sauted coconut granule.

bananas which are pressed, grilled, and covered with palm sugar sauce and sometimes
eaten with Durian. Many street vendors sell pisang epe, especially around the area of
