JAKARTA OLD TOWN

Have you ever been to Jakarta? Of course yes because it is the capital city of Indonesia. But how about Kota tua or Jakarta Old Town? Have you ever visited? Hmmm well I would like to tell you more about it. Jakarta Old Town which is also famous as Old Jakarta and Old Batavia is a small part of Jakarta. It is the former Jakarta with the name Batavia, we can say that It is the truly Jakarta. Jakarta Old Town is located in both North Jakarta and West Jakarta.

Do you know the length of the area? The region spans 1.3 square Kilometers. How about the things are there? There are many famous historical buildings. They are The Museum History of Jakarta (in front of Jakarta square), Museum Bahari (you can see the old Penisi ship), Sunda Kelapa Harbour Near the Ciliwung river), and Omni Batavia Hotel.

What do the visitor feel when they visit it? People will feel that they are as if in Netherlands or Amsterdam because the architecture of the buildings are absolutely Dutch style. And the most unique is we can enjoy ojek sepeda (a person who use his bike to take the passenger) to around the area.

   

Since it is the truly Jakarta, the government makes it as it the heritage site.  It is openly for many people who wants to enjoy on vacation and know more about the Jakarta’s history.
