Tip from Trip101 local expert
Kota Tua Jakarta is full of museums with Dutch colonial architecture and history. Museum Bank Mandiri was formerly Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschapij (BHM) before it was nationalized in 1960, and Bank Exim merged with Bank Dagang Negara and Bank Bumi Daya in 1968. Museum Fatahillah also known as Jakarta History Museum was built around 1707-1710.
Today, tourists' favorite activities in Kota Tua Jakarta include cycling around Fatahillah and taking photos. Indeed, these ancient and history-rich architectures make great backgrounds for photography purposes.
Kota Tua Jakarta has a bus stop named Kota (Route Number 1, which belongs to one of Jakarta's 24-hour buses). It also has a railway station named Stasiun Jakarta Kota that connects with other railway lines around the Jabodetabek area.
