Old Jakarta Tour

Jakarta is a jenga-style city where gleaming skyscrapers sit side by side with colonial monuments and ancient neighborhoods. See all the standout sights of Indonesia's many-coloured capital with an Iconic Insiders tour. Highlights include Fatahilah Square, entry to Wayang Museum, and a visit to the famous Café Batavia.First up is Fatahillah Square. Like Indonesia's own Piccadilly Circus, it's the city's central hub. Snap a selfie as a sea of scooters whizz by and grab a few photos of the colonial-style buildings peppering the streets – each one a nod to its past under Dutch rule.In the Wayang Museum, you'll learn all about the art of Indonesian puppetry before a coffee stop at Café Batavia. Built in the 1830s, it's one of the city's oldest buildings. Head into Jakarta's old quarter and after wandering the historic streets of Chinatown and Glodok, we'll round off at the 17th-century Dharma Bhakti Temple – a colourful shrine sacred to the city's Chinese population.
