Next, head to the National Monument (Monas), one of Jakarta’s most iconic landmarks and a powerful symbol of Indonesia’s struggle for independence. Standing prominently in the heart of Jakarta, Monas is surrounded by a large green park and offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the nation’s history.
Next, visit Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Indonesia and one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Located in the heart of Jakarta, the mosque was built to commemorate Indonesia’s independence, with the name Istiqlal meaning “independence.”
Then, head to Jakarta Cathedral, officially known as St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, one of Jakarta’s most historic religious landmarks. Located directly across from Istiqlal Mosque, the cathedral is an important symbol of religious tolerance and harmony in Indonesia.
