Jakarta Old Town โจ
Thinkin' of spending your weekend in Jakarta? Don't forget to visit Jakarta Old Town or "Kota Tua" in Indonesian language.
This is one of the popular tourist attractions in Jakarta. All buildings around this area are in Dutch architectural style. You can do sightseeing by walking or cycling (since they open bike-rentals too for visitors) around Kota Tua. Most of people will love the ambience, as well as stories behind these historical buildings.
On weekend, Kota Tua will be super packed with visitors, but you still can enjoy it. The option of entertainment will be more varied on weekend.
Since this area is not that huge, you may spend around 1-2 hours here to stroll around. And prepare more time if you want to drop by some museums or cafe.
Best way to get here is with Jakarta Commuter Line Train red line, stop in Jakarta Kota station.

Arborea Cafรฉ
The perfect lush green in the heart of Jakarta. Very peaceful and not too busy. A perfect place to visit especially during the pandemic. Feast for the eyes from the bustling of the city. They have wide array of coffee selection and other beverages too. A spot for instagrammer-alike and those who simply want to enjoy the nature.
Actually itโs a very nice, just like cafe inside the woods, yes, just like in the real forest with the high trees and the sounds of the birds around. But I donโt have any idea when is the best time to visit, itโs crowded even too crowded, to order the food you have to queue, and they will call your name through the loudspeaker when your order is ready.

๐Kota Tua, Jakarta
Kota tua or Old city of Jakarta is one of the oldest place in here. Indonesia was colonized by holland for 320 years no wonder if some of the buildings were influenced by them. you can tell from the architecture itself, it looked so old and vintage. This is the place where you should pay a visit to everytime you come to J town. so many street food around this place and people are everywhere selling souvenirs. be careful if you want to eat the street food, you need to really take a look at them. it might be really dirty.

Jakarta old town visit ๐ฎ๐ฉ
#indonesiatrip
One-day trip to the old city of Jakarta, Indonesia E I have been in Indonesia for a week. I took advantage of the weekend to relax and came to the old city of Indonesia to play today. The old city of Indonesia is actually composed of some old buildings left over from the Dutch colonial period.
Jakarta Museum f
The ticket is RMB 2.5 yuan. I met an Indonesian little sister volunteer who can speak Chinese at the door and served us as a tour guide. This museum used to be the office building of the Dutch colonial rulers, commemorating various desks and chairs left over from the Dutch colonial period. There is also a prison underground. The floor height is too low to straighten up.
It's a little panicked.
Generally speaking, it's worth a visit. The ticket is too cheap. The window on the second floor is blowing and waiting to see the square is very comfortable. #jakarta #indonesia

Jakarta Old Town
Kota Tua Jakarta is the area of first settlement in Jakarta. It starts from Sunda Kelapa harbor to Pecinan (China Town). Thus, this area is rich with history.
Initially, Sunda Kelapa harbor was known as Kalapa and it belonged to Pajajaran kingdom. When an army from Demak and Cirebon took over this area, their leader named Fatahillah built a town surrounding the harbor. The town was named Jayakarta. Presently, the date of the establishment of Jayakarta on June 22, 1527 became Jakartaโs anniverssary.
In 1619, the Dutch East India Company, popularly known as VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) under Jan Pieterszoon Coen usurped Jayakarta and changed the name into Batavia, as a remainder of their founding fathers, the Batavir.
Since then VOC built many buildings in this area. However, when VOC went bankrupt in 1799, this area was abandoned. The next Governor General, Daendels, brought down some of these buildings and used the materials to build a new town called Nieuw Batavia a.k.a Weltevreden in the area known as Lapangan Banteng.
Fortunately, there are many beautiful buildings still remained in Kota Tua Jakarta. Once abandoned, now the government started to revitalize this area. Some of the buildings are already renovated and returned to their prime condition. Six of them are functioned as museums, hence, the area is known as District Museum.

Kota Tua Old Town, Jakarta
#timetotravel
Jakarta's old town, known as Kota Tua, is a historic area with old buildings and museums that show how the city looked under Dutch rule. It's a lively place with lots of people, especially on weekends. While some buildings might need fixing, it's a must-see spot for people who like history and want to experience Jakarta's past.
In the middle of the old town is Fatahillah Square, where you can find the Jakarta History Museum and the Wayang Museum. The streets are small and have vendors selling local stuff. It's best to go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat. Despite a few issues, the old town is a special place to explore Jakarta's culture and history.
