The travellers, who are interested in ancient facilities, should attend an excursion to Candra Naya mansion. It is located not far away from the center of the city near one of the modern hotels. The house is in great state and has all furniture and decorations remaining from previous centuries. Masjid Istiqlal is one of the most beautiful buildings of Jakarta. This is one of the largest mosques of South-East Asia. The building is made of marble and this makes it look even more glorious. Even in the hottest days the air in the mosque is cool.
You may also enjoy visiting Taman Prasasti Museum, which exhibition is devoted to gravestones. This is a relatively big complex under the open sky, which has been opened in the site of the former Dutch graveyard. In 18th century many noble and rich people were buried here, so many gravestones were true pieces of art created by famous sculptors. Jakarta’s port is another amazing destination where you can find large number of beautiful ships, the most amazing of which is Sunda Kepala.
