In 1844 Manado was levelled by earthquakes, so the Dutch redesigned it from scratch. Fourteen years later the famous naturalist Alfred Wallace visited, and described the city as ‘one of the prettiest in the East’. That was 150 years ago and time hasn’t been kind to the place. Vestiges of the colonial period have succumbed to a swarm ofmikrolet and the superb coast has been swallowed by shopping malls. Unattractive though it may be, Manado is a well-stocked base from which to visit the surrounding Minahasan region and islands to the north. It boasts the best wining and dining in North Sulawesi and locals hit the town on weekends.
30 minutes from Manado, a small town call Tomohon is also very interested to visit. Tomohon is a pleasant, cool respite from Manado, with a stunning setting below Lokon Vulcano Mountain. It's popular with the city folk on weekends; for travellers, it's possible alternative to Manado, and an ideal base from which to explore the many nearby attractions.
