Sightseeing Tours
KOTA

Old Town of Batavia, now known as Kota, was once the hub of Dutch colonial
Indonesia. Much of the one-time grandeur has now rotted, crumbled or been bulldozed away, but Taman Fatahillah, kota’s central cobblestone square, is still reminiscent of the area’s heyday.

MUSEUM WAYANG

This puppet museum has one of the best collections of wayang puppets in Java and its dusty cabinets are linet with a multitude of characters once used for performances. The collection not only includes puppets from Indonesia but also China, Malaysia, India and Cambodia


MUSEUM SEJARAH JAKARTA

The Jakarta History Museum, is housed in the old town hall of Batavia, and probably one of the most solid reminders of Dutch rule within Indonesia.
