Entertainment & Activities
If you’re in Jakarta on Sunday, then I suggest you try a bit of exercise (or it could be just a walk) on Car Free Day (CFD) in Sudirman-Thamrin street. It starts at 6 am and lasts till 11 noon. It feels so amazing to experience and see the main road (Sudirman and Thamrin) without any vehicles. Many communities also gather there and you have the opportunity to see almost all the communities in Jakarta on one morning.
This is one of my fav things to do in Jakarta. After going to car free day, I usually having breakfast in Jalan Sabang. The restaurant name is Kopi Oey.

Sightseeing
As an icon of the city and a symbol of the struggle of Indonesia, Monas is a place worth visiting. In addition to the monument, you can also find The National History Museum in the area around Monas. In this museum there are many dioramas depicting the history of Indonesia. In addition to learning about the history of Indonesia, it is quite interesting to take pictures with Monas as a background. Be creative and make your own unique picture!
The monument and the museum are located in central Jakarta. The best time to visit Monas is in the morning or evening just before the sunset.

It feels like there are literally mosques on every street corner in Jakarta. But what makes Istiqlal Mosque special is that it’s the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. It opened in 1978 in commemoration of Indonesia’s independence, hence it’s name (istiqlal translates to “independence”). It’s also possible to arrange free guided tours of the grounds.
Every religion especially tourist are very welcome to do the tours here!
It just 15 mins by Car/Taxi from our Apartment

Around the Old Town, there are several interesting museums to visit. The Jakarta History Museum (Fatahillah Museum), Museum of Fine Art and Ceramic as well as the Puppet Museum are all around Batavia. Usually, local people explore around the area of the old town by renting an old-fashioned bike (it cost around $3). You can cycle around the area to the Sunda Kelapa harbour. Afterwards you can relax, eat and drink at Cafe Batavia. A restaurant that serves good coffee and has an interesting design.

A big fan of antique stuff? You should spare one evening to walk down Surabaya street. You can find a lot of stores that mostly sells antiques, but please be careful when you decide to buy something from here. Not all things that seems antique are antique, some of them are newly produced as antiques.
