Jakarta Heritage, Faith, and Old Town Discovery
Explore Merdeka Square, a focal point of Jakarta that is home to important government buildings such as ministry offices and the presidential office. Learn about the National Monument, a 134-meter landmark designed to resemble a flame and symbolizing the Indonesian people's spirit against colonialism. Visit Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, and admire the beautiful Catholic Cathedral standing opposite it with its European neo-gothic architecture, both serving as symbols of unity in diversity. Discover Old Town Batavia, once the center of the Dutch colonial government, and admire the Dutch architecture along its canal that earned it the nickname "Little Amsterdam." Experience the Wayang Studio to meet puppet masters, learn about puppet-making, and see wayang collections from various regions of Indonesia. See the Sunda Kelapa Harbor, once the center of trade on Java Island and still active for domestic shipping, with Pinisi traditional wooden boats lined up neatly at the port.
