Nice view

Beautiful scenery of Jakarta city looked from above of National Monument (Monas). But, we have to be patient to go upstairs. Actually, the wait is worth it even though only a couple of minutes upstairs.

Waste of time

May be the whole thing is due to wrong timing. Overall time spent is around 3.5 hours, which is not supposed to. Queue to get to the top already 2 hours plus. The experience itself was bad. Few locals just cut the queue, which was...More

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.
