The upper (northern) area has many old Dutch villas and wider boulevards with tall trees lining the streets. The famous Dago Tea House, built during the Dutch colonial times, is located here. The Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) is located just west of the upper Dago area, and neighbors the Bandung Zoo. A major private hospital, the St. Boromeus, is also located on the street. A major public transportation terminal is also nearby.

The extreme northern parts are called Dago Pakar, which in recent years have seen the construction of many new restaurants offering dramatic views and vistas of the greater Bandung area.
