Create an itinerary including Fatahillah Square

Relive the Dutch period of Jakarta's history at Fatahillah Square, located on the eastern bank of the Ciliwung River and named after a prominent Indonesian national hero. Home to several notable museums, the square still preserves an atmosphere of the bygone colonial days, when this cobblestoned part of the city served as the center of Dutch Indonesia. Don't miss a visit to the city's renowned history museum, located inside an 18th-century building that once housed the offices of the Dutch East India Company. Many Indonesian rebels met a gruesome faith in the square in front of this building, where public floggings and executions often took place.

Fatahillah Square is interesting enough, but it did not warrant the half hour it took to get there by taxi, and then the HOUR we had to wait to get a taxi back to our hotel on a busy Friday...

One of the most iconic place in Jakarta. People often call it "Kota Tua Jakarta" because you can feel the colonial era of Jakarta. Fatahillah square is in the center of this area. A lot of tourist attractions in this site such as live music and some attractions. There's a art and bank museum still use this buildings.
