We stayed 2 nights in a deluxe room. The price was affordable and we really enjoyed it. We had to pay a deposit of IDR 200,000, and we don't know why, but the refund process was easy and fast when we checked out. The occupancy was full with some visitors from Malaysia. The TV and Wi-Fi were okay. It's on Pemuda Street, near Merdeka Court, in the center of the city, near Indomaret minimarket, near the seafood restaurant Tabona and Wajir. When we came back late from Toba Lake, we could buy nasi goreng pemuda in front of the hotel. It's quite a famous food street that opens at night. We will stay here again later when we visit Medan. Highly recommended.

Best Areas to Stay in Polonia

Polonia, while a distinct region, is comprised of several neighbourhoods and districts, each possessing its own unique character and appeal for international visitors. Understanding these areas is key to crafting an itinerary that aligns with your travel preferences, whether you prioritize proximity to business hubs, cultural landmarks, or tranquil retreats. Choosing the right base within Polonia can significantly enhance your experience, offering different perspectives on local life and varying levels of convenience for exploration.

Polonia (Central District)

The central district of Polonia itself serves as a vibrant core, offering a dynamic mix of commercial activity and residential pockets. This area is particularly appealing to business travellers and those who appreciate being at the nexus of city life, with easy access to amenities and transport links. Its energy is palpable, reflecting the pulse of modern Indonesian urban living, making it a comfortable starting point for many international visitors seeking convenience and a taste of local hustle.

Within this central district, you'll find a range of dining options from local eateries to international cafes, and shopping opportunities abound, including proximity to major commercial centres. Getting to Polonia from the main international airport is typically straightforward, with taxi services and ride-hailing apps readily available, usually taking around 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. This area is well-suited for travellers who want to be in the thick of things, with many hotels offering excellent value.

Medan City Center

Medan City Center is the undisputed commercial and administrative heart of the region, a bustling metropolis that draws in business travellers and shoppers alike. This district is characterized by its modern infrastructure, high-rise buildings, and a concentration of corporate offices and upscale retail establishments. For visitors from the US or Europe, it offers a familiar urban environment, while for those from India, it provides a dynamic commercial landscape with ample opportunities for both business and leisure.

This area is home to prominent landmarks such as Sun Plaza Medan, a major shopping destination, and offers a plethora of dining choices, from sophisticated restaurants to bustling food courts. Public transport is well-developed, with numerous bus routes and readily available taxis connecting it to other parts of the city and the airport. Visitors can easily book attractions and tours from here, making it a convenient base for exploring the wider region.

CBD Polonia

The Central Business District (CBD) of Polonia is a modern and rapidly developing area, designed to cater to the needs of businesses and professionals. It's characterized by its sleek office buildings, contemporary hotels, and a generally well-organized urban layout. This district is ideal for international visitors on business trips or those who prefer a more structured and modern environment, offering a sense of order and efficiency that can be reassuring for first-time visitors from Western countries.

While primarily a business hub, the CBD Polonia area offers a good selection of dining establishments, often catering to a corporate clientele with a focus on international and Indonesian cuisine. Its convenient location often means good transport links, making it relatively easy to reach from the airport and to access other parts of the city. For travellers seeking a clean, modern, and business-oriented base, this district provides a comfortable and convenient option.

Polonia (Residential & Historical Pockets)

Beyond the main commercial zones, Polonia also encompasses quieter residential areas and pockets that retain a strong sense of history and local character. These neighbourhoods offer a more authentic glimpse into daily Indonesian life, away from the intense pace of the city center. They are particularly attractive to travellers seeking a more immersive cultural experience, a slower pace, and a chance to connect with the local community, appealing to those who value authenticity over constant activity.

These areas often feature traditional housing, local markets, and smaller, family-run eateries serving regional specialties. While public transport might be less frequent than in the CBD, local transport options like 'ojek' (motorcycle taxis) are common. Exploring these parts of Polonia allows visitors to discover hidden temples, local artisan shops, and a more relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great area for travellers who enjoy wandering and discovering the less-trodden paths, offering a peaceful respite.

Medan City Center (South)

The southern part of Medan City Center offers a slightly different vibe compared to its northern counterpart, often blending commercial activity with more established residential areas. This district can provide a good balance for travellers, offering access to amenities and transport while being situated in a slightly less frenetic environment. It's a practical choice for those who want to be well-connected but also appreciate a slightly more relaxed atmosphere after a day of sightseeing or business.

This area typically boasts a good range of local restaurants and cafes, providing authentic Indonesian flavours. Proximity to certain cultural sites or parks might also be a draw. Transportation links are generally reliable, connecting residents to the airport and other key city areas. For travellers looking for a well-rounded experience that combines convenience with a touch of local neighbourhood feel, Medan City Center South presents a solid option.

What to Eat and Where to Find It in Polonia

Polonia, as part of the vibrant culinary landscape of Indonesia, offers a rich array of dishes that reflect its diverse cultural influences. The region is particularly renowned for its Batak cuisine, a distinct culinary tradition from North Sumatra, which often features bold flavours and unique ingredients. Beyond this, you'll find a melting pot of Indonesian flavours, from spicy Sumatran curries to Chinese-Indonesian fusion dishes, making Polonia a gastronomic adventure for any food lover.

For an authentic taste of Polonia's food scene, exploring local markets and street food stalls is a must. Areas around the central districts and near popular landmarks like Sun Plaza Medan often host a variety of food vendors. For Muslim travellers, finding Halal options is generally straightforward, as a significant portion of Indonesian cuisine is prepared according to Halal principles. Look for establishments displaying Halal certification or those frequented by local Muslim communities, ensuring a comfortable dining experience.

The cost of dining in Polonia offers excellent value for international travellers. Street food can be enjoyed for as little as ₱ 10-20 per dish, making it incredibly affordable for those on a budget. Mid-range restaurants typically charge between ₱ 150-300 per person for a full meal, a fraction of what one might expect in Western countries. Even upscale dining experiences remain reasonably priced, offering a chance to indulge in fine Indonesian cuisine without significant expense, a welcome prospect for US, European, and Indian visitors.

When dining in Polonia, embracing local customs enhances the experience. Meals are often communal, and it's polite to accept food offered by hosts. Tipping is not always customary in smaller eateries but is appreciated in more formal restaurants, usually around 5-10% of the bill. Be adventurous with your palate; try local specialties like 'Babi Panggang Karo' (Batak-style roasted pork) or 'Saksang' (spicy meat stew), and don't hesitate to ask for recommendations from locals or hotel staff.

Cultural Norms and Staying Safe in Polonia

Understanding local etiquette is key to a respectful and enjoyable visit to Polonia. Indonesians are generally known for their politeness and hospitality. A gentle greeting, such as "Selamat pagi" (Good morning) or "Terima kasih" (Thank you), goes a long way. When interacting with locals, it's advisable to use your right hand for giving and receiving items, as the left hand is sometimes considered unclean. Modesty in dress is appreciated, especially when visiting religious sites or more traditional areas.

When visiting landmarks like Sun Plaza Medan or Vihara Borobudur, specific etiquette applies. At Sun Plaza, as a modern shopping mall, dress codes are relaxed, but maintaining a respectful demeanor is always appropriate. For Vihara Borobudur, a Buddhist temple, modest attire is essential – cover your shoulders and knees. It's customary to remove your shoes before entering temple buildings. Photography is usually permitted, but always check for signs or ask permission before taking pictures of people or sacred objects.

Safety in Polonia is generally good, but as with any urban environment, standard precautions are advised. Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded markets or on public transport. For transportation, ride-hailing apps like Grab are widely available and offer a convenient and relatively safe way to get around. It's also wise to have offline maps downloaded and to carry a local SIM card for easy communication and navigation.

In case of emergencies, the general emergency number in Indonesia is 112. For specific assistance, local police numbers can be obtained from your hotel. Filipino travellers should be aware of the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate in Indonesia, which can provide assistance in emergencies. It's also prudent to have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies and to be mindful of health precautions, such as drinking bottled water and ensuring food is well-cooked.

Getting to Polonia and Getting Around

Reaching Polonia from the Philippines is typically achieved through flights connecting through major hubs in Southeast Asia. While direct flights might be limited, travellers can easily find connecting routes from Manila (NAIA/MNL) or Cebu (CEB) via Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, or Jakarta. Flight durations can range from 6 to 10 hours, depending on the layover. The primary airport serving Polonia is Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), located about 30-40 kilometers from the city center, with transfer times to Polonia typically around 45-60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle. You can book flight tickets conveniently through Traveloka.

Navigating Polonia and its surrounding areas is facilitated by a mix of public and private transportation options. Local buses ('angkot') are the most economical way to travel between districts, though they can be crowded and routes may be confusing for first-time visitors. Taxis are readily available, and ride-hailing services like Grab (offering car and motorcycle options) are extremely popular, providing a convenient and transparent way to get around the city. Fares are generally very affordable, with short rides costing only a few US dollars.

The best time to visit Polonia is generally during the dry season, which typically runs from May to September. During these months, the weather is more pleasant for outdoor exploration, with less humidity and rainfall. While this period can be considered peak season, especially around local holidays, prices for accommodation and flights may see a slight increase. For travellers from the US and Europe, this period often aligns with summer holidays, while Indian travellers might find it suitable for a pre-monsoon or post-monsoon visit.

Before departing for Polonia, ensure you have a few essentials sorted. The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), and while major hotels and larger establishments may accept credit cards, it's advisable to carry some cash for smaller vendors and local transport. You can exchange currency at the airport or in the city. Purchasing a local SIM card upon arrival is recommended for data access and communication. Essential apps include Google Maps for navigation, Google Translate for language assistance, and Grab for transportation.

Visa Information

For Philippine passport holders planning to visit Indonesia, including the region of Polonia, visa requirements are generally straightforward. As of recent regulations, Filipino citizens are typically granted visa-free entry for short stays, usually up to 30 days, for tourism or business purposes. It is crucial to confirm the latest visa policies with the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in the Philippines before your travel dates, as regulations can change. Ensure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your intended date of departure from Indonesia.

The application process for any necessary visa, if required beyond the visa-free allowance, involves submitting an application form along with supporting documents to the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate. This may include a valid passport, passport-sized photographs, proof of onward travel (return flight tickets), and sufficient funds to cover your stay. While visa-free entry is common, always verify specific requirements for your intended length of stay and purpose of visit to avoid any issues upon arrival.

While visa-free entry is often granted, it is always recommended for travellers to verify the most current visa regulations directly with the official immigration authorities of Indonesia or the Indonesian Embassy in the Philippines. Confirming your entry status before booking flights and accommodation is a prudent step to ensure a smooth travel experience. For those requiring a visa, the processing time and fees can vary, so early application is advised.
