Jakarta Old Town (Kota Tua)

Jakarta Old Town, historically known as Old Batavia, has been beautifully revitalized into a designated Low Emission Zone (LEZ) that prioritizes pedestrians and clean air. The epicenter of this district is the bustling Fatahillah Square, a paved plaza surrounded by grand, centuries-old structures. Key highlights include the Jakarta History Museum (formerly the Stadhuis of Batavia), the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics, and the Wayang (Puppet) Museum.

Visitors can soak in the nostalgic European-esque charm by renting colorful vintage cruiser bikes, interacting with creative street performers, or dining at the historic Café Batavia, which overlooks the lively plaza.
