The capital of Indonesia is striking in contrast: the ultramodern architecture of the metropolis is combined here with a deep cultural heritage and historical treasures.
The first thing you will see is the legendary Monas obelisk, a symbol of the country's independence, towering 132 meters. Nearby is the grandiose Istiklal Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia. A few minutes by car will take you to the ancient port of Sunda Kelapa, where the majestic two—masted ships "Pinisi" are moored to this day.
The old town of Kota Tua takes you back to the era of the Dutch East Indies. Stroll through the colonial streets, visit the Jakarta Museum, and then have lunch at the "Batavia Café" restaurant, once the residence of Dutch governors. End the day with a walk through the prestigious Pantai Inda Kapuk district with its designer mansions, parks and boutiques.
Do you want more? Extend the trip by the second day.
On the second day, you will find the unique "Taman Mini Indonesia Indah" park, where traditions, architecture and everyday life of all the peoples of the country are gathered.
Then there are exciting adventures in the "Ancol Dreamland" park, roller coasters, marine life, exotic birds, a gondola over the coast and even a game of golf.
The highlight of the day will be lunch at the "Grand Palace of Arts", where you will be greeted by waiters in early 20th century uniforms and will be served delicious dishes in an atmosphere of royal comfort.
A personal driver will meet you at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. You will take a comfortable car tour of the capital of Indonesia.
The first stop is the majestic Monas Obelisk, a symbol of the country's independence, towering 132 meters. Climb up to the observation deck and enjoy the panoramic view of Jakarta. Nearby is the grandiose Istiklal Mosque, designed for 120,000 people, and the city's first Cathedral.
Then you will visit the oldest port of Sunda Kelapa, where the traditional wooden ships "pinisi" — real sailing palaces - are still moored.
Next is the old town of Kota Tua. Lunch is served at the authentic "Batavia Café" restaurant, once the residence of the Dutch governors, overlooking the historic square. After lunch, there will be time to stroll through the colonial streets, visit the Jakarta Museum and learn more about the history of the city and the country.
The day ends with a trip to the prestigious Pantai Inda Kapuk district, an area of mansions, stylish cafes, modern malls and picturesque parks. After a busy day, transfer to the hotel and enjoy a well—deserved rest.
In the morning, the driver will meet you in the hotel lobby. You will go to the unique "Taman Mini Indonesia Indah" park, where architecture, traditions and everyday life of all the peoples of Indonesia are represented. For an additional fee, you can visit the museums of fauna, transport and Indonesian culture, as well as ride a gondola with panoramic views of the park.
The next stop is Jakarta's largest amusement park, "Ancol Dreamland". Roller coasters, water attractions, an aquarium with sharks and turtles, as well as an Ecopark with rare plants and educational pavilions are waiting for you. And here you can ride a gondola over the territory of the complex.
A pleasant end to the day will be lunch in the refined atmosphere of the Grand Palace of Arts, where waiters in early 20th century uniforms will serve fine cuisine.

The driver met us at the airport right on time and took us on a scenic tour of Jakarta. The Istiklal Mosque was majestic, and the traditional ships at Sunda Kelapa port were a sight to behold. Walking through Kota Tua was like stepping back in time. A high point was the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah park, offering a unique blend of culture and fun. Highly recommended!
It was an incredible journey! We climbed to the observation deck of the Monas Monument, and the views of Jakarta were stunning. The trip to Ancol Dreamland park was fun, especially the swings and the aquarium with sharks were thrilling. I recommend it to everyone!
The tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Jakarta. We particularly enjoyed the visit to the Kota Tua old town and the Batavia Café, where lunch overlooking the historic square was delightful. The driver was knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. Only downside was the closure of Monas on the day we visited, but the alternative destination suggested was interesting.
