Turn Back Time in Old Batavia

#weekendgetaways This historic district, once known as Batavia, was the heart of the Dutch East Indies in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its cobblestone streets, grand colonial buildings, and horse-drawn carriages evoke a bygone era of grandeur and trade. Wander through Fatahillah Square, the central plaza lined with museums like the Jakarta History Museum and the Wayang Puppet Museum. Admire the neo-classical architecture of the former City Hall, now the Fine Art and Ceramic Museum. Take a break at Batavia Cafe, housed in a restored Dutch warehouse, and savor a cup of coffee amidst the old-world ambiance. #awesomepic #jakarta #batavia #museum #couplestrip #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #summervacation #passionpassport #travel
