Do & See

Jakarta blends harmoniously newly-restored areas with its ancient parts, creating a metropolis provided with both entertaining and culturally interesting options. Begin your exploration at the National Monument, a towering symbol of Indonesian independence, and enjoy panoramic city views from its observation deck. Then, venture into the heart of Old Jakarta to wander through the colonial-era architecture of Kota Tua, where museums like the Fatahillah Museum bring the city’s rich history to life. For a taste of local culture, stroll through the bustling Tanah Abang Market or sample street food at the famed Glodok Chinatown. Art enthusiasts will revel in the contemporary exhibitions at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara, while nature lovers can escape to the serene landscapes of the Ragunan Zoo or the lush gardens of Taman Suropati.
