Kampoeng The Old Batavia Tour - Jakarta - Indonesia

Kampoeng The Old Batavia Tour - Jakarta - Indonesia

NATIONAL MUSEUM :
The National Museum, built in 1862, is the best museum in
Indonesia and is reputedly one of the finest in Southeast Asia.
The museum has an enormous collection of cultural objects of
the various ethnic groups-costumes, musical instruments, model
houses, numerous fine bronzes from the Hindu-Javanese period,
as well as many interesting stone pieces salvaged from Central
Java and other temples. (Monday & Public Holidays closed. Visit
the National Monument instead).

GLODOK :
Glodok is the center of Jakarta’s China Town. It is now banking,
hawkers, trading and entertainment center. Visit to Petak
Sembilan Chinese temple (build around 1650), it was on of the
earliest center of worship for the Batavian Chinese.

KOTA INTAN DRAWBRIDGE :
At the north end of the Kali Besar lays a small 17th century Dutch
drawbridge, the last in the city, called the Kota Intan Drawbridge.

SUNDA KELAPA HARBOR :
This 500-year-old harbor area was a vital link to the markets of
the outside world for the 15th Century kingdom of Pajajaran.
Since then this port has belonged to the Portuguese and Dutch.
The magnificent and brightly painted Makassar schooner called
Phinisi are still an important means of transporting goods to and
from the outer islands.

MUSEUM FATAHILLAH :
Built in the 16th century, the museum is housed in the old town
hall of Batavia, which is probably one of the most solid reminders
of Dutch rule to be found in Indonesia. (Monday & Public Holidays
closed. Visit the antique and flea market in Jalan Surabaya
instead).
