Jakarta Old Town ✨

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. #weekendgetaways

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. #travel #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #summervacation #passionpassport #jakarta #wonderfulindonesia #indonesia

Trans Snow World Bekasi

Will be very crowded on weekend or holiday. When buying offline ticket, you will queue buying ticket, and queue entry gate. So better you buy online ticket on their official web. After entry, you need to queue for free boot shoes and wristband (timer). After that, you can go deposit counter to store your belongings or directly go inside the park. At holiday /weekend, the queue will be everywhere start from entering building until you leave the building. So be patient 😊 #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Trans Studio Theme Park Cibubur

An awesome theme park located inside the Trans Studio Shopping Mall in Cibubur. A lot of great, high-quality rides that you can try here. My personal favourite was the Alien Taxi which kinda mimics the Space Mountain ride in Disneyland. You can find most of the typical rides in any theme park here such as a dark ride, roller coaster, a 4D simulation, wet ride and also a walking zombie simulation! Perfect place to bring your family for a fun weekend! #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Indonesia's vegan food is a delightful fusion of flavors, a culinary adventure that unveils the essence of this tropical paradise. From fragrant curries to tantalizing tempeh dishes, it's a plant-based feast that showcases the rich diversity of Indonesian cuisine. Savor vibrant flavors that celebrate local ingredients and a culture that embraces compassion, all while enjoying the breathtaking beauty of this archipelago.

Hoods Cafe

#wheretogo Hoods Cafe offers a diverse dining experience. The truffle beef donburi, while generous in portion, falls short in delivering a bold truffle taste. On the other hand, their cheese fries are fairly standard. A highlight of their menu is the salads, which impress with their excellent taste and freshness. In a nutshell, Hoods Cafe provides a varied culinary journey. While the truffle beef donburi is sizeable, it may disappoint truffle enthusiasts. The salads are a standout feature, and with overall good food, it's likely that will come back again. 📍Jl. Kw. Industri Tunas No.1, Belian, Kec. Batam Kota, Kota Batam, Kepulauan Riau 29444, Indonesia #goodfood #hiddengems #cafe

On the second floor, you can find a tourism activity centre, restaurants, and finance facilities (money changer, ATM).

Wonderful Jakarta !!

I had one of my best experiences in Jakarta since my first time here few years ago. Their wonderful hospitality and humbleness towards people are really capturing my heart. Always make me wanting to come here again and again. Enjoy delicious halal food anywhere you go. Plus it's cheap and delicious! Try out different kinds of foods everytime we come here. Some of them that I really like such as Pecel Lele, Ketoprak, Nasi Padang, Nasi Uduk, Tahu Sumedang and the list went on and on! Shopping is a must for a shopholic. Because the textile are from good materials. Such as dresses, cotton wear, telekung, and also othet fabrics wear. You can go to Tanah Abang for shopping and bargain for the one that you really like. Masjid is available everywhere. You can pray at different Masjid everytime for experience whenever you stop by and feel the ambiences of some big Masjid. There are fews that famous within Jakarta. So what are you waiting for? Add Jakarta into your wishlist. Do come over and visit Jakarta whenever you have a chance! Im sure that you wont regret it for even once and you will always want to come back for more experience! Happy travelling everyone and always be safe no matter where you are. #jakarta #deliciousfood #travelphotography

Thing you need to know before visiting Monas

#vianasjourney #awesomepic Apart of wanting to learn of it’s history, there are few details that you should know before visiting this place (These were my personal experiences). If you were taking grab like me, it would be better for you to pin the location at Southwest (barat daya) of Monas. From there, there’s a free transportation that can drive you to the entrance side as the walk to the building are quite far. Remember to bring local cash beforehand for buying entrance ticket as they only accept cash and money changer are far from the area. If you planning to go to the top of the building, there’s only one small lift that I think can fit max 6 person and it moves slow. So you might need to wait longer for this. What to expect once you reach the top is, it’s basically just a small area of space where you can see some building (president’s place, the only building that I was impressed by). At the bottom/ ground floor, you’ll be able to see a medium area of national museum. That’s basically what’s there. Not much but it was nice to learn the history of Indonesia.

National Monument MONAS 433ft

Located at the centre of Merdeka Square, National Monument (MONAS) is a must to visit when you arrive Indonesia. The entry ticket to the museum and to the peak of the monument is relatively cheap at IDR20,000. You have to purchase the ticket and get your number to the peak, which is less than 1 hour for me to reach the peak. In the museum itself, you will know how the Indonesian fight for their independence. Soekarno Hatta was their First President who struggle for independence from the Dutch colonialists. Indonesia gain its independence on 17 Aug 1945. At the peak, you will get a spectacular view of the Jakarta. There is no limit of time spend at the observation deck. So, enjoy as much time as you can at the peak with the free of charge binoculars provided at every corners Free tram service will ride you to the exit upon completion of your visit at MONAS 🥰🥰

National Monument

The National Monument or say monas is a 132 m obelisk in the centre of Merdeka Square, Central Jakarta, symbolizing the fight for Indonesia. It is the national monument of the Republic of Indonesia, built to commemorate the struggle for Indonesian independence. Monument old and good place for picture #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes

Caroline Astor Suite, St Regis Jakarta

#wheretogo #freehotelstay Our stay in the Caroline Astor Suite at St. Regis Jakarta was a true feast for the senses, and the room itself was a standout in several ways. Firstly, the suite was incredibly spacious, offering a sense of grandeur and comfort. The two large enclosed balconies were a highlight, providing both additional living space and captivating views of the surroundings. The sitting room was thoughtfully designed, featuring a small dining area. It created the perfect ambiance for relaxation or even hosting a private meal. A distinctive touch was the presence of a bar cart within the room, which was stocked with a wonderful selection of coffee and tea. It added a personalized and homey element to the suite. The bedroom was no less impressive, with a plush bed that promised a great night's sleep. What truly set this room apart was the presence of a 65-inch smart TV in both the bedroom and the living room. It offered a touch of modernity and entertainment that made our stay even more enjoyable. The bathroom was another luxury feature of the suite, housing a sizable double bathtub for indulgent relaxation. The bathroom amenities were of top-notch quality, ensuring a truly spa-like experience. In all, the Caroline Astor Suite offered a harmonious blend of comfort and luxury, with thoughtful touches that made our stay truly exceptional. It was more than just a place to rest; it was a sanctuary of elegance and convenience that made our stay in Jakarta memorable.

Grand Deluxe St Regis Jakarta

#newyearadventure at St Regis Jakarta Grand Deluxe room. This hotel was newly built and I tried it last December. Change to different room although a bit downgrade from Caroline Astor. This room is spacious and good enough with the price of around $400. All room design here complete with luxurious lamp, and balcony. Plus bathtub as well. Still have a bit of hiccup as it is new, expect a spoil wardrobe door and others but it can be fix on the spot. Shorthanded, so please don't think that it can be quick & efficient. They still try their best to fix it straightaway.

St Regis Jakarta

The official spa in st regis Jakarta has not completed yet but fret not, you can also experience #spamagic in their swimming pool! There's small jaccuzi with playground and water fun for kids. Swimming pool also filled with warm temperature water. Soak here to relax or simply just sit on their comfortable sofa. They will also provide with mini sunscreen, drink, and towel regardless you are going to swim or simply just sit and enjoy the sun. Although the hotel is still new and many things to be improve on, ambience is great. It feels like you are in resort though located at level 1 just behind breakfast place. #staycation #newhotels #jakarta

Breakfast @ St Regis Jakarta

#staycation at St Regis not to forget to try out their breakfast. Wide varieties of food available here from western to local cuisine. There are also unlimited a la carte order options. Worth to spend on breakfast instead of points. The experience here is quite unique though. Valen served us and take our order. Afterward she also change our utensils but forgot to give us new one as if shorthanded but trying to win our heart. Service here below indonesia standard. Spend $700 for 2 nights, does it worth? Depends on your perspective. ;)
