Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption is located right next to Merdeka Square, Jakarta and the Merdeka Palace, and serves as the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Jakarta. The church features the Neo-Gothic style that was popular at the time, with an all-white exterior. Its two prominent spires, each approx. 60 m high, are striking, and the south tower houses an old clock and bronze bell that are still in operation. The interior of the church is cruciform in plan, with high, vaulted wooden ceilings and a rose window above the main entrance. The Altar of the Virgin Mary and the Altar of St. Joseph are located on either side, while the central main altar was imported from the Netherlands. The south wing features a Pietà statue, the walls are adorned with scenes of the Stations of the Cross, and a pipe organ from Belgium stands to one side. Climbing the stairs to the second-floor gallery, you will find a small museum displaying vestments of past bishops, sacred vessels, and materials on the history of Catholicism in Indonesia. Inside the church, a statue of the Virgin Mary and Child dressed in traditional local Jakarta attire reflects the fusion of European church architecture and local culture. As a church that is still in daily use, it regularly hosts masses and other rituals. The church is located across the street from the Istiqlal Mosque, making it easy to visit both on foot. Taking photos of the twin spires from across the street is a popular angle.Central Jakarta · 1.4 km from downtown

Jakarta Old Town

4.5/5
144 reviews
Jakarta Old Town is the birthplace of the city. It was formerly Batavia, built by the Dutch in the 17th century, and served for a long time as the capital during the Dutch East Indies period and the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in Asia. The old town retains clusters of Dutch-style red brick buildings, and the layout of cobblestone squares, old canal streets, and old warehouses continues to this day. You can also visit the adjacent Glodok Chinatown along the way. The heart of the old town is Taman Fatahillah, surrounded by colonial-era buildings: the former Batavia City Hall is now the Jakarta History Museum. Beside the square, there is also the Wayang Museum, which displays traditional Indonesian shadow puppets and marionettes, as well as the Museum Mandiri and Museum Bank Indonesia, which were converted from old bank buildings and are all within walking distance. You can often encounter folk performances on the square. Ondel-Ondel, giant puppets wearing painted masks, are a common form of performance. You can also rent a vintage bicycle to ride around the square. Heading north from the square along the old canal street, you will pass the Kota Intan Drawbridge, which dates back to the 17th century. Further north is the Sunda Kelapa Old Harbor area, where the Maritime Museum is housed in a former Dutch warehouse. The old town is not large, and the main attractions can be connected on foot.West Jakarta · 6.4 km from downtown

The Indonesian National Museum offers a comprehensive history of Southeast Asia, from prehistoric spiral stone carvings to exquisite Hindu sculptures, from Arabic gold coins to colonial-era street art. Exiting the museum, you'll find a large lawn with the Independence Monument visible in the distance. Half a day here feels like a journey through a thousand years of history for this archipelago.

Visited Jakarta Cathedral and it was truly inspiring! This stunning neo-gothic landmark features beautiful architecture, intricate stained glass, and a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect for quiet reflection or appreciating history in central Jakarta. Friendly staff and free entry made it a memorable visit. Highly recommended!

千岛之国,名不虚传,岛上很安静还有度假屋。可以潜水,游泳,晒太阳,钓鱼,非常自由自在。缺点是游船太慢了,印尼人没有时间观念,磨蹭蹭来回六个小时。

Sea World Ancol, Jakarta’da bulunan popüler bir deniz yaşamı merkezidir. Ziyaretçilere yüzlerce türden balık, köpekbalığı, penguen ve deniz aslanı gibi canlıları yakından görme fırsatı sunar. Akvaryum tüneli, interaktif gösteriler ve eğitim programlarıyla hem eğlenceli hem öğretici bir deneyim sağlar. Aileler için uygun olan bu merkez, özellikle çocukların deniz ekosistemini keşfetmesi açısından ilgi çekicidir. Ayrıca düzenli olarak yunus ve singa laut gösterileri yapılır.

Jakarta Old Town, or Kota Tua, is a nostalgic journey into the past! I love the colonial architecture and the vibrant energy of Fatahillah Square. It is a unique spot where history meets modern life, perfect for a casual walk and vintage photos.

Buying online is cheaper than on site. Came during peak period, on site price was RP440k for International, and RP400k for Local. Go early. We reached at 12pm and did not have time to finish the place. Wait time is between 0mins for kids rides to 30mins. Food within the themepark is reasonably priced with drinks as low as Rp10k, and snacks from Rp15k. Overall a great experience for us and the kids. Kids need a minimum height of 100m for the rides.
