Sparkling Batavia / Jakarta
Back to the historic time by this Jakarta shore excursion visiting old places. Capture the scene of Phinisi ships lined up by Sunda Kelapa Harbor, understand Jakarta history in Fatahillah Museum, and witness an ancient art form of Indonesia well preserved at Puppet Museum.
Visit the old port of Sunda Kelapa Catch a view of the amazing Phinisi schooners, made out of Sulawesi ironwood by Bugis Boat Builders. These beautiful ships comprise the world’s last wind-powered commercial sailing fleet. They dock here at the quay here as they have done forcenturies and are used to transport the wide range of the Indonesian archipelago’s bounty from island to island.
Next, photo stop at Monas / National Monument, representing the people’s determination to achieve freedom. This 450-foot-tall marble obelisk is topped with a flame, coated with 77 pounds of gold.
Visit Taman Fatahillah Square & Museum—a complex housing three of the city’s most interesting museums. Once the heart of the colonial administration in the 18th century, the square underwent a major restoration in the 1970s. A fountain in the middle once served as the main water supply for the former colonial capital of Jakarta.
Don’t miss the Portuguese cannon on the north side. The site is brimming with stories of natural disaster and colonial trade. It was originally occupied by a Dutch Reform Church until a devastating earthquake in 1808, and then by a warehouse until 1912. Some prominent Dutch officials are buried in the small cemetery at the back. Inside, you’ll find a collection of exhibits showcasing artifacts from Jakarta’s prehistory, the city’s founding in 1527 as Jayakarta, and the Dutch colonial era spanning from the 16th century to Indonesia’s independence in 1945.
