The place you need to visit at least once

It was my third times to visit Monas with my family/ relatives and friends from Surabaya, Hongkong, China and Philippines. I think Monas is one of the place you need to visit if you have guests from local or from overseas. Even though there is...More

National Monument not a tourist spot

As an monument it is valuable but I’d say it is not a tourist spot, can be seen from distance, there is a small market in vicinity and few restaurant, few shops with handicrafts and traditional dresses. I am not very much impressed, maybe I...More

I recommend you enjoy a picnic

とにかく広いです。シンガポールからジャカルタに行きましたが観光地よりは公園の要素が強いです。近くに露店などもあるので機会があれば何か買ってみるのもおすすめ。 I came here from Singapore. it’s not for sightseeing place but you can enjoy a picnic with your family. I guess there’s where you can eat something on the entrance.

Okay

Just a monument with a historical value. It's okay to see from the distance. But I'm not sure whether it's worth to pay IDR 35,000 to get inside. I didn't go inside.

Asif S

I read that the opening hours are 8am to 4pm and 7pm to 10pm during weekdays. Is that the time they make you leave, or is that the time they let the last person enter inside? i.e. can I get in at say 15:30 and stay for a whole hour? Also, at night time, is the museum open too, or just the observation deck?

Which gate is it that is open to MONAS? Please give an exact description so that we can avoid the long walk since we will be with older people who have arthritis? Some of the reviewers said that it is the North gate that is open, but as I view it on the map the Merdeka square has four gates, one on each corner. Thus, there are two gates on each corner of the north side and two gates on each corner of the South. I can interpret that the north left side gate is actually the north gate, the north right side gate is the east gate, south left gate is the west gate and the south right gate is the actually south gate.

If you wait for the little transportation bus they have when you enter; it will take you directly to where you have to enter. Great place to go to see and read about Indonesian history and it's struggle for independence.
