Jakarta, the pride of Indonesia and the center of politics, economy, and culture, is also home to giant skyscrapers, palaces, museums, massive stadiums, and holy religious sites. The city's diverse culture, abundant historical experiences, and economic stability all contribute to the city's vibrant atmosphere. Standing tall at 132 meters as a celebration and remembrance of Indonesia's independence, the National Monument should be the starting point of a Jakarta tour. Merdeka Square is close to the iconic landmark, with a prettily engineered landscape that is best for walking and taking short breaks. You may also admire the Merdeka Palace, built in 1879, where Indonesia's President currently resides. If you are ready for a religious site tour, be in awe of the Istiqlal Mosque, which can house 200,000 people at once. The mosque, meaning "independence," is Southeast Asia's largest of its kind. The relatively more minor, 121-year-old Jakarta Cathedral will surely give you a glimpse of Europe. Activate your serotonin in the theme park for kids and adults called Ancol Dreamland, which provides plenty of entertainment, such as rides, waterparks, indoor games, and many more. The recreational Taman Mini Indonesia Park lies in the east part of the city, where tourists and locals may learn about Indonesia's culture and traditions. The National Museum of Indonesia is also an excellent place to learn more about the country's historical and cultural past. In the northern part of the city's coast, rest from a tiring day at the Thousand Islands, which offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
