If you are in Jakarta this is one of the nicest areas to check out. It's quite interesting and there is plenty happening. A good photo area and nice old buildings and a big square.

Nice place to spend saturday night.. and also good for your health to walking around in wide area. Lots of performance here and also food seller.. just worry about the toilet availability if you drink and eat too much.. Not enough toilet for visitors. Also not safe for girls to walk alone, there's men who catcalling..
