Ampera bridge is the icon of Palembang, an important city in Sumatra Island. Thebridge was built in 1962 during President Soekarno’s era. He wanted a bridge that could

be opened to let a ship pass by, similar to the London Tower Bridge. That’s why the

bridge was originally called Bung Karno Bridge. Nowadays, it cannot be opened as

originally designed. But, it remains as an important bridge that connects Seberang Ulu and

Seberang Ilir.

It is easy to get to the bridge. It only takes a 30-minute drive from the airport. The

historical bridge and surrounding attractions are best explored on foot. Not far from the

bridge, there are Kuto Besak Fort and Sultan Badaruddin II museum that remind people

how Palembang people fought against

the Dutch. To find local foods and souvenirs, such

as lekeur and songket, tourists can go shopping to Pasar 16 Ili

Ampera bridge offers a beautiful panorama at night. Thousands of lamps light up the

bridge and the breeze blows along the Musi River. It i

s really an amazing view.
