Jakarta is the main
gateway to travel to Indonesia archipelago. It is a contrast of modern
western architecture and traditional Indonesian culture. Its rapid
growth into a metropolitan city, however, is a reflection of the
economic, political, social and industrial development of the
nation.
Jakarta is the centre
of government, business and industry and spreads over an area of
more than 650 sq.km (410 sq miles) with a population of over nine
million people. Jakarta has expanded its facilities for visitors
with multi-star luxury hotels, fine restaurants, exciting nightlife
and modern shopping centers as well as tourist attractions like
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park),
marine resorts in the Bay of Jakarta, an extensive beach recreation
complex and restored colonial period buildings.
Jakarta's architecture
reflects the history of outside influences which came and left their
mark on this vital seaport city. in the early 1970's, government has
restored one of the oldest sections of Jakarta, known as Old Batavia
or Kota, to almost its original state. An old Portuguese Church and
warehouse have been rejuvenated into living museums.
Jakarta is traditional
and modern; rich and poor; spiritual and worldly standing side by
side in this bustling metropolis. The population, gathered from the
diverse ethnic and cultural groups which shape Indonesia, are often
in contrast and a reminder of the nation's motto; Unity in
Diversity.
As Indonesia's main
gateway, Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport serves a
growing number of international airlines and provides an abundance
of domestic flights. Transport within the city is plentiful.
It should be noted
that most museums are open daily from 8.00am (except Mondays) until
2.00pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. On Fridays
closing hour is at 11.OOam and on Saturdays at 1.OOpm.
