City tour Medan - Due to the lack of modernity, only visits to the former times - Medan is a sprawling city of around 2.5 million inhabitants, without an actual center. At least we didn't visit one on this city tour. As mentioned in the description, old religious places of worship are visited. Nevertheless, at the end there was a strange feeling that we had only visited something long ago and that we were still living in that time. There is nothing modern or interesting about it. The guide knew a lot about the old days - routinely - and was quite professional. And yet: we didn't really "warm" to this city.
