Kota Tua (Old Batavia)
The Dutch colonial quarter, with museums, bicycle rentals, and Fatahillah Square at its centre.
National Museum of Indonesia
The country's largest archaeology and ethnography collection, from Javanese statues to masks from the Nusantara islands.

A shaded park in the Menteng diplomatic quarter, dotted with fountains and sculptures gifted by ASEAN nations.
