• Jakarta History Museum (Fatahillah Museum) - After departing from the hotel or accommodation, within 30 minutes to an hour, visit the Old Town and museum. This building was originally the Batavia City Hall (Dutch: Stadhuis van Batavia), constructed between 1707 and 1710 under the orders of Governor General Joan van Hoorn. The museum houses collections similar to the National Museum, featuring prehistoric and Hindu-Buddhist kingdom statues, metal and clay artifacts, pottery, replicas of ancient inscriptions (Tugu, Ciaruteun), and ancient regional maps. From the Dutch colonial period, there are antique furniture pieces (chairs, cupboards), household items, maps, documents, ceramics, ancient coins, and weapons. Chinese culture is represented through ceramics, statues, and ornaments. Betawi culture is showcased with crafts (cloth bags) and pedicabs. There is also a special collection dedicated to Prince Diponegoro’s room, highlighting his struggles. A statue of Hermes, the Greek mythological god symbolizing protection, is also present. The numismatics and philately collection includes coins, paper, and related objects from various eras.

• Istiqlal Mosque - The tour can begin from the Old Town or head directly to the central area as the first site. The mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, features a modern design. Visitors can take pictures outside and enter the mosque with other travelers on a guided tour. Upon entering, appropriate clothing is provided, and shoes must be removed in accordance with regulations. Istiqlal, also known as the Independence Mosque, is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and the 9th largest in the world by worshiper capacity. After the visit, proceed across the street to experience the old church.

• Jakarta Cathedral - Upon arrival at the church, visitors can take photos outside and explore. The cathedral, located almost opposite the mosque, symbolizes peace and religious tolerance. It is one of the oldest churches, predating the mosque, and has a history dating back to the Dutch era. This neo-gothic church was consecrated in 1901, having been rebuilt at the same location. The Jakarta Cathedral is near Merdeka Square, the presidential palace, and in front of Istiqlal Mosque. Visitors can explore the area and continue sightseeing and taking photos at the monument.

• National Monument (MONAS) - After visiting the cathedral, proceed to Chinatown, passing by the presidential palace, and stop for a photo of the monument. The National Monument, a 132-meter obelisk in the center of Merdeka Square, symbolizes Indonesia’s fight for independence and serves as a landmark of the capital. It is an ideal spot for photos while in Jakarta, without the need to wait in line for the lift. After a brief stop, visitors can enjoy local food or head to Chinatown within 15 minutes.

• Jakarta - Lunch will feature local cuisine, or visitors can choose to dine at Batavia Cafe, a recommended restaurant, at their own expense.

• Glodok Chinatown - Visit the historic Chinatown, home to an old pagoda built in 1650. Jakarta’s Chinatown is one of the busiest and most fascinating, being the largest in the country. Visitors can explore the big market and its temple, dedicated to Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, offering a rich historical experience. The tour is filled with heritage sites. The guide will explore the area and consider taking a Tuk Tuk to the Old Town. Whether to take it or not is up to the visitors, and they should discuss it as the driver waits or parks directly at the Old Town.

• Jakarta Old Town - Upon arriving by Tuk Tuk or car at Old Town Batavia, the guide will explain Batavia, also known as “Kota Tua,” a reminder of centuries of Indonesian history dominated by Europeans. Many buildings feature European and Chinese architectural styles. Built in the 17th century as the town hall, the area served as a square during the Dutch VOC colonial era. Visitors can then proceed to see the Puppet or Wayang studio.

• Fatahillah Square - This is a special area to explore, offering a historical site experience with our expert guide. Visitors can walk through the area, visiting ruins and learning from archaeologists. Explore the first building of Jayakarta, the castle, bastion, house of spices, and more.

• Makutharama Puppet Studio - Still within the Old Town area, some colonial-era buildings, originally used for offices, churches, and banks, are now museums, studios, and cafes. One building houses a puppet studio, offering a delightful attraction to see puppet-making and a 9-minute show, if time permits. Visitors interested in souvenirs will find this appealing.

• Sunda Kelapa Harbour - Arriving at the Old Harbour, not far from the Old Town and passing by Kota Intan Bridge, visitors will see where history began. Traders and sailors first arrived here, leading to colonization. This is the largest and oldest harbor from the 15th century, dominated by Asian ethnic groups before Europeans. The harbor remains active for logistic trading with the traditional Phinisi boats. This marks the end of the program, with a 15-minute return to the hotel, taking 45 minutes to an hour.
