Kupang, West Timor, Indonesia Cruise Port

Located on the island of Timor, Kupang occupies the southwestern peninsula and is the largest city on the island. Since colonial times, Kupang has been an important port in the development of Indonesia, due to the value the location offers as a trading post for European countries. For this reason, the city remains one highly influenced by western European cultural, notably in the colonial architecture that lines the streets once occupied by the Dutch and Portuguese. Today, Kupang is known for its tropical beaches and bustling markets dotted with authentic Indonesian cuisine.
