Description

Merdeka Square’s central location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Jakarta, as it provides a deep connection to Indonesia’s political and cultural history. The square is often bustling with visitors and locals alike, making it a perfect spot for capturing the essence of Jakarta’s historical and political significance. You’ll pass the Arjuna Wijaya statue, a significant monument commemorating the military struggle for Indonesia’s independence. Visit the National Museum, one of the most comprehensive museums in Southeast Asia. This cultural gem showcases a vast collection of archaeological, ethnographic, and geographical artifacts, offering a fascinating look at Indonesia’s diverse cultures, ancient civilizations, and rich history. Visit the National Monument, a 132-meter Jakarta landmark symbolizing Indonesia's independence. Delve into its basement, where 48 dioramas vividly depict Indonesia's rich history. Step into the independence room to witness the proclamation gate, the majestic Garuda as our National emblem, and the gold-plated Indonesian map. Step into history at Jakarta Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece. Admire its towering spire and the intricate glass paintings adorning its high windows. Inside, three altars form a semicircle, a unique arrangement that adds to the cathedral's historical charm. Experience the grandeur of Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. Its modern design and stunning dome are a sight to behold, offering a peaceful sanctuary for prayer and reflection. Visit The Confucian Dharma Bhakti Temple, the oldest Confucianism temple in Jakarta. As we pass & explore the traditional wet market, you will see the local community engaging in their daily business and activities, giving you a firsthand experience of the local culture. You can also try some authentic Indonesian snacks and Tropical fruits, a popular part of the local cuisine. Explore Dutch Town, which was the center of the Dutch colonial government. This area, once the center of Jakarta’s colonial administration, is now a vibrant part of the city’s heritage, attracting both locals and tourists. The historic architecture and old warehouses, many of which date back to the 17th century, transport visitors to the city’s colonial past. Visit the Puppet Studio and meet with puppet masters. Learn about Indonesian puppet making and how to play, and see wayang (Puppet) collections from various regions of Indonesia. Visit the oldest port in Jakarta, which is still operating for Domestic Shipping. Traditional Phinisi wooden Boats are neatly arranged and anchored in the Port. Seawater levels are also higher than those on land in Jakarta.
