Nothing much to do, a military institution is now occupy the fortress so im not sure if anyone can explore inside the fortress. Outside the fortress there is a small square which is serene enough to walk around, not enough light tho, its kinda dark. But walk further to the promenade in front of the fortress is a night market where bunch of locals hang around at night. Attraction and games for kids are everywhere, making this place full with families. Food vendors are here and there mostly selling same type of food, nasi goreng, mie goreng etc. Walk further you can see an area of the market specialized in tshirt souvenirs. On the promenade there is also several boats that serve as restaurants and another few smaller boats that offer you a ride along the river, they are also able to be rented to sail east to Kemaro Island but i dont know how much it will cost. When you are on the promenade make sure to enjoy the view of the great red Ampera Bridge..

In: Kuto besak dapat dikatakan sebagai alun-alun, karena menjadi icon rekreasi masyarakat Palembang. Landmarks nya sendiri hanya sebatas tembok besar dan Gapura, kita tidak dapat masuk ke dalamnya karena sekarang di fungsikan sebagai markas TNI. Di pelataran luas kalian dapat menikmati pemandangan sungai Musi dan Icon kota Palembang dari dekat yaitu jembatan Ampera, sangat bagus mengambil gambar dengan latar jembatan Ampera dari lokasi ini. Selain itu banyak juga pedagang mainan dan rekreasi jalanan. Banyak pilihan Street food khas Palembang seperti Mie dan pempek. Di saat sore ke malam hari, tempat ini ramai dikunjungi warga. Sebagai Orang dari kota besar di Jawa Barat, mungkin kurang dapat menikmati nya. En: Kuto Besak can be said to be a square, because it became the icon of the recreational community of Palembang. The landmarks themselves are only big walls and gate, we cannot enter it because they are currently functioning as the TNI headquarters. In the extensive courtyard you can enjoy the view of the Musi River and the Palembang city icon from close, the Ampera bridge, it is very good to take pictures with the background of the Ampera bridge from this location. Besides that many of the toy and recreational traders are also. Lots of typical Palembang Street Food choices such as noodles and pempek. In the afternoon to night, this place is crowded with residents. As people from big cities in West Java, may not be able to enjoy it.

Fort Kuto Besak was a great fort in side of Musi River at Palembang. At this place has a great view of Ampera Bridge, Musi River, and also lot of restaurants and cafe. There is also wide field for any activities such as ceremony, party, concert, and any public activities. The best time to come in at morning and afternoon to night to see beautiful lights and views around the river. Your visiting to Palembang was not complete if you're not coming to Auto Besak Fort and Ampera Bridge.

Benteng Kuto Besak atau yang lebih sering disebut dengan BKB berada tepat di pinggir Sungai Musi. Jadi, dari pelataran BKB ini kita bisa menikmati semilir angin, riak ombak sungai, dan megahnya Jembatan. Dulu di BKB ini selalu ramai setiap sore, tidak perlu hari weekend karena di pelatarannya terdapat para penjual Mie Tek-Tek juga banyak penyewaan sepeda tali memang karena ramai kondisinya agak semrawut. Kini pedagang mie dan tempat penyewaan sepeda skuter dipindahkan disisi samping benteng, bukan lagi di pelataran Benteng jadi kondisinya sudah lumayan rapi sekarang. Ada tulisan Palembang di pinggir sungai, ada pula patung/tugu yang menjadi icon kota Palembang yaitu Tugu Iwak Belido. Untuk sistem parkiran sampai sekarang belum ada tempat dan biaya resmi, karena kalau parkir di luar-luar masih ada beberapa tukang parkir yng nakal meminta biayanya lebih dari yang seharusnya. Sudah disediakan WC Umum juga mushola disekitarny, namun kualitas wc nya dibawah rata-rata. Masih ada beberapa pengamen yang padahal tidak mengamen(bernyanyi) dengan baik, tetapi meminta paksa diberi uang. Masih banyak yang perlu di tingkatkan dari segi keamanan dan kenyamanan disini. Dan untuk yang mau berfoto mengabadikan momennya namun lupa bawa hape atau kamera, atau hanya sekedar ingin membantu meringankan beban orang lain, kita bisa berfoto dengan bapak-bapak yang biasanya menyediakn jasa foto kilat langsung jadi. Tarifnya hanya 15.000 per foto.

Beautiful view of ampera bridge. Badly my pasport was stolen from my bag while i was eating pempek (fish cakes) along the fort (benteng) roadside area😔. Please be aware and make sure you take good care of your belongings. Fort area is not far from Ampera Bridge and right on the edge of the Musi River. Sultan Mahmud Badarudin Mosque is around 100/200 meters from the fort. There are also historical monuments and museums that you can visit.

First impression was a very good place to hang out, the vibe of riverside and rather fishy smell combine with a lot of food vendors selling many kind of snacks and food. Mie Tek-Tek it was called as a famous dish in this place. Its rather tasty but I prefer Indomie :D The view of Ampera bridge and riverbank of the famous Musi are unlike any other place you can find in Indonesia. You should try coming at night and it might surprise you
