Discover some of the most extraordinary attractions in Jakarta, a city that the ruling Dutch called Old Batavia for centuries. Your panoramic tour will begin at the once-bustling Old Harbor at the mouth of the Ciliwung River, an area that historical sailing vessels now primarily use. Nearby, you will find Fatahillah Square, the administrative center of Old Batavia, which is lined with restored colonial buildings, many of which have been converted into museums. At the beautiful Neo-Renaissance-style Wayang Museum, you will see one of the world’s finest collections of traditional wayangs or shadow puppets, which are still used extensively to tell dramatic stories. Other highlights in the heart of Indonesia’s capital include museums dedicated to Jakarta’s turbulent history and exceptional ceramics.
