I loved spending time here to enjoy the ancient atmosphere.
Luckily they still remained this beauty and kept this place rather well maintained.
This was an old part of tge city, with old architectures.
Too crowded to totally enjoy. This place was beautiful so it was not so amazed when it was crowded. But I recommend you go with a local or tourguide to make sure you will never get lost.

Just one word to fully describing this tourist attraction: CROWDED. The Old Town or Kota Tua really is an old part of the city, with many building retains its colonialism era architecture with their high ceiling and arching doors. Sadly most of the building wasn't well maintained for them becoming no more than an old ruins of an old days. If you wish to explore the place, might want to prepare very comfy shoes, light clothing, and an umbrella for Jakarta can be really hot during the day. It was pretty safe at the site, but do be careful with your belonging, since you never know what might happen within the crowds.

As a tourist from another country, this square display great daily life of Jakartans, and there are so many activities and shows here that you could actually enjoy. Food is also available everywhere and were great, from snack stalls to a restaurant called Cafe Batavia (quiet pricey). Museum actually overwhelm this place so i actually spent hours by just going from one to another!

The only dissapointing thing there is the fact that alot of the buildings is not renovated well and maintained, it could be a really great tourist hotspot.
