Area guide

Kota Tua

Kota Tua is Jakarta’s old-town stage: Fatahillah Square, Jakarta History Museum, Wayang Museum, Museum Bank Indonesia, and colonial-era facades. Arrive in the morning for photos and museums before heat rises on the square. Combine it with Sunda Kelapa Harbor if you want the old port story, or return to Thamrin for an air-conditioned evening. **Family note:** Food choices around tourist streets vary; decide your halal lunch plan before children get tired.
