Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta, Indonesia
Indonesia's capital city, Jakarta, offers visitors an unforgettable experience with its vibrant culture, iconic landmarks, and diverse neighborhoods.
The morning tour guide will pick up the visitor at 9 AM, with a schedule including a visit to Museum Fatahilah. This renowned institution is highly esteemed among Indonesians, particularly in Jakarta.
Following this, the group will proceed to Old Town (Kota Tua Jakarta). Historically, Kota Tua, also known as Oud Batavia, originated in 1526 when the Demak Kingdom dispatched Commander Fatahillah to capture Sunda Kelapa Harbor. Upon capturing the territory, he renamed it Jayakarta, marking the beginning of the Dutch colonial era in the region.
Next, the itinerary includes a visit to the Sundanese Trading Harbor (Sunda Kelapa Harbor). Constructed in 1527 under Portuguese rule, this harbor served as an essential stopover for international maritime traffic, accommodating various types of vessels carrying goods such as timber, daily essentials, groceries, and construction materials.
Continuing our journey, we shall explore the bustling Chinese Town, a historic community of Chinese settlers who established themselves in Indonesia prior to European arrival. Their presence played a crucial role in supporting the economic growth and security of Batavia, their home city.
Afterwards, visitors will embark on a tour of Monas, a prominent landmark and architectural marvel in Jakarta. Monas symbolizes both the city's identity and the national struggle for independence. Its history traces back to the Cathedral Church, founded in 1892 and officially inaugurated in 1901.
Lastly, the tour concludes with a visit to Istiqlal Mosque, a significant religious site reflecting the diverse cultural influences in modern-day Jakarta.
