Itinerary
Check out Jakarta's Historical TreasuresGet ready for a journey through Jakarta's rich history, starting at the National Museum. This famous landmark showcases Indonesia's heritage through ancient artifacts, cultural treasures, and fascinating exhibits.
Then, check out Glodok, Jakarta's Chinatown, where you'll find lively streets packed with history. Don't miss the Petak Sembilan Chinese Temple, a sanctuary dedicated to Kuan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, built in the 1650s.
Don't miss the Kota Intan Drawbridge, Jakarta's last surviving Dutch drawbridge. It was part of a stylish 17th-century residential neighborhood along the Ciliwung River, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's colonial past.
Then, head to the Museum Bahari Jakarta, tucked away in the historic Sunda Kelapa Harbor. It's housed in 17th-century Dutch warehouses and celebrates Indonesia's maritime heritage. Climb the tower for awesome harbor views.
End your trip at the Fatahillah Museum, which is in the old Batavia town hall. Check out maps, antiques, and porcelain that give you the lowdown on Dutch colonial rule. Just a friendly heads-up: the museum is closed on Mondays and public holidays. If you're looking for something more unique, check out the Jalan Surabaya Antique Market.
