At night, the illuminated buildings are even more charming, presenting a scene interwoven with history and modernity.Jakarta Old Town Tourist Areanot only bears witness to Jakarta's past, but also becomes an important place for local residents and tourists to experience culture, art and life.West Jakarta · 9.6 km from North Jakarta

Having said that, the Fatahillah Square in Taman is still full of history and life. Various buildings left over from the Dutch colonial period surround the square. The most common are all kinds of weird cosplays. The themes range from traditional wayang puppets to Naruto's Kakashi-san, and several brides with gray faces. It seems to be very popular with the locals. There are also those repainted bicycles that break into the picture when taking pictures, which are very beautiful.

A small town in West Africa, close to the sea, with flowers blooming in spring, a very good resort with high cost performance

The History Museum is a typical place to visit in Jakarta. Many museums in Jakarta are quite interesting. This History Museum is also a very unique choice to understand Indonesia’s rich cultural history. It opened relatively late.

Visited this area, Pancoran or Glodok Chinatown Market, during Chinese New Year. The area was full with festivity decoration with vendor selling their product.There also plenty of small food vendor with delicious food offering. But have to say that the area is not well organized and seems a little dirty to my liking.Overall is an okay place to visit if you are a foodie.
