Jakarta Residences

Jakarta is famous for large choice of wonderful places, entertaining and cultural facilities. Many travellers visit Jakarta only when transferring from one destination to another, but this wonderful city deserves much more attention.

From historical point of view tourists are advised to visit Batavia district that was founded by the Dutch people in the 19th century. Many interesting houses have remained from those colonial times. Some ancient mansions are now used as museums and galleries, so you will definitely enjoy your walk in this place. The Museum of History is a wonderful place to learn much new information about the development of Jakarta. The halls of the museum exhibit various collections devoted to costumes, armor, household items and even a collection of cannons. There is a large system of underground canals on the territory of the museum. In previous years they were used as prisoners’ cells.
