Hello...
Today I want to share my travel experience to the old city of Jakarta. If you feel bored with your tourist destination which is only an amusement park or nature tourism. There is nothing wrong with you trying to visit a location that is thick with history. This is fun to know. One of the historical tourist destinations which is very extraordinary because this is the Old City area of Jakarta which is full of old history.
So, even though the location of Kota Tua is in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, this place is still highly recommended to visit. Moreover, this place is still very thick with the old Jakarta atmosphere. This area is very crowded every day, especially local and foreign tourists always visit this place. Because in the city of Jakarta this place is one of the most favorite places to visit.
So that you know a little about the history of the early Jakarta Old Town, founded by a Dutch Colonial, which was designed as a place for trade in Asia. The city of Jakarta in ancient times had the name Batavia, which was used as a center for trade from within the country and abroad via ship routes. That's the least about the founding of this Old City.
Old Town Location
For the location of the Old City, it is very easy to find, especially at this time, all you have to do is press your smartphone to find the location of the Old Town. Moreover, the majority of Jakarta residents are very aware of the location of this place. So don't be afraid to stray to come here. Because at this time everything has been made easier in terms of searching. The address itself, Kota Tua Jakarta, is located in Pinangsia, Taman Sari, West Jakarta.
Old Town Route
I don't think you need to panic too much. Because if you are still confused about how to get to this location easily, you just have to go here using the Electric Rail Train. Because all routes from this Electric Rail Train can go to the Old City location. Obviously very easy isn't it, so I hope you don't panic and be afraid to get lost if you come here.
Old Town Opening Hours
Don't worry about the opening time of this place, you can come here anytime. Because this tourist spot is open 24 hours without being closed. However, specifically for objects in the city area, it is clearly different because visiting times are limited. Because there are many museums here, the opening hours are around 09.00 am to 15.00 pm. And for the entrance ticket, don't worry, you don't have to pay if you enter this place or it's free.
