Before arriving in Jakarta, I noticed the word “boring” pop up frequently during my research. However, Jakarta is far more enchanting than you might imagine. After seeing these 18 captivating images, you might just fall in love with this vibrant city, just as I did.
I’ve crafted a day-long walking route🗺️ for you to explore and relax 💆🏻♂️～
.
➡️ National Monument:
Nestled in the heart of the city, the National Monument towers majestically over a sprawling park. 📷 Use the grand trees nearby as a natural frame for your photos, adding depth and avoiding those typical tourist snapshots.
.
➡️ Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta Cathedral:
A short stroll from the National Monument brings you to this stunning duo. Along the way, you’ll find a picturesque yellow bridge near the Istiglal bus stop, perfect for capturing both the mosque and the cathedral in one breathtaking shot. 📷 At the end of the bridge, a unique green house adds an unexpected touch to your photo album.
.
➡️ Old City Train Station (Jakarta Kota):
Just a 20-minute Grab ride from the cathedral, this historic train station, built in 1887, still operates today. The hall boasts a stylish design, with sunlight streaming through large, arched yellow windows, creating a magical, sunset-like glow inside. Although currently under renovation, the ground floor remains a must-see.
.
➡️ Old Town of Jakarta:
Adjacent to the old train station, this area is a treasure trove of charm. The European-style buildings, remnants of a bygone era, exude a timeless allure. The square buzzes with locals enjoying their leisure time. Nearby, the century-old Cafe Batavia offers a perfect spot for a Southeast Asian-themed photoshoot.
Savor afternoon tea here and stay until sunset to witness the pink twilight casting a romantic hue over the Kali Ciliwung River.
.
➡️ Parkroyal Serviced Suites Jakarta:
End your day with dinner and shopping at the Grand Indonesia shopping mall in the city center. 🏨 Located in Jakarta’s tallest building, right next to the mall, the Parkroyal Serviced Suites offer a luxurious retreat.
Enjoy the panoramic night view of the bustling metropolis from the comfort of your room.
