Where to Go

For sightseeing, the north of Jakarta is most interesting with remains of Dutch colonialism in Old Town and the harbour Sunda Kelapa. A Citytour brings you to the center of town with skyscrapers and hypermalls, slum areas and congested streets. In the south, Taman Mini is a huge recreation and museum areal, while further south the cities of Bogor and Bandung offer a large botanic garden, active volcanoes and tea planations.

Fatahilla Square is the historical center of the old Batavia, what is now called Old Town. The large square is surrounded by colonial buildings, housing the Jakarta History Museum, the Wayang Museum, the Fine Art and Ceramics Museum and the famous Cafe Batavia.
