Padang's Teluk Bayur harbor is the largest and busiest harbor on the west coast of Sumatra. The city is served by the newly-opened Minangkabau International Airport (in the Ketaping-region, Pariaman), and is a common transit point for surfers travelling to the Mentawai Islands.
The city is famous throughout Indonesia for its spicy food. Padang-style restaurants are common throughout the country. Padang food is served in small portions of various dishes, in a way similar to tapas or mezedes, but constituting, with rice, a complete meal. In a Padang-style restaurant, your table will quickly be set with dozens of small dishes filled with highly-flavored foods such as curried fish, fried tempe, stewed greens, chili eggplant, curried beef liver, fried chicken, and of course, sambals, the spicy sauces ubiquitous at Indonesian tables. You take -- and pay for -- only what you want from this array of dishes. The best known Padang dish is rendang, a spicy meat stew. Soto (crispy beef in spicy soup) is local residents' breakfast favorite, meanwhile Sate (beef satay in curry sauce served with ketupat) is a treat in the evening.
Padang beach is well-known for its beautiful sunset and hundreds of food stalls.
Andalas University is the oldest University in Sumatra, and it is located 15 Km from the center of Padang.
