- Jakarta, Indonesia's bustling capital, is a city rich with cultural diversity and history. From awe-inspiring religious sites to vibrant neighborhoods, Jakarta offers a unique blend of experiences for every traveler. In this video, we'll explore four must-visit locations: the Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta's Chinatown, Jakarta Cathedral, and the Habibi Library. Join us as we delve into the cultural and historical significance of these remarkable places.
Istiqlal Mosque: A Symbol of Unity
The Istiqlal Mosque, Southeast Asia's largest mosque, is a testament to Indonesia's rich Islamic heritage. Located in the heart of Jakarta, this architectural marvel was designed by Frederich Silaban, a Christian architect, symbolizing religious tolerance and unity. With its grand dome, towering minarets, and spacious prayer halls, the mosque can accommodate up to 200,000 worshippers. Visitors can explore the mosque's intricate designs, expansive courtyards, and peaceful gardens, making it a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle.
Jakarta's Chinatown: A Taste of Tradition
Jakarta's Chinatown, also known as Glodok, is a vibrant neighborhood that offers a glimpse into the city's Chinese heritage. This bustling area is renowned for its traditional markets, street food vendors, and historic temples. Wander through narrow streets lined with shops selling everything from exotic spices to colorful textiles. Don't miss the chance to visit the Vihara Dharma Bhakti temple, one of Jakarta's oldest Buddhist temples, where you can witness daily rituals and soak in the spiritual atmosphere. Chinatown is also a culinary haven, with a plethora of food stalls and restaurants serving authentic Chinese and Indonesian dishes.
Jakarta Cathedral: A Beacon of Faith
Standing majestically across from the Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta Cathedral is a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. Officially known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Assumption, it serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Jakarta. The cathedral's twin spires, intricate stained glass windows, and ornate interiors make it a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts and history buffs. Visitors can attend a mass, explore the cathedral museum, and enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the adjacent gardens.
Habibi Library: A Hub of Knowledge
Named after Indonesia's third president, B.J. Habibie, the Habibi Library is a treasure trove for book lovers and researchers. This modern library houses an extensive collection of books, manuscripts, and multimedia resources, focusing on science, technology, and Indonesian history. The library's sleek design and comfortable reading areas make it an ideal spot for those looking to delve into academic pursuits or simply enjoy a quiet reading session. The Habibi Library also hosts regular events, workshops, and exhibitions, making it a dynamic cultural center in Jakarta.

Thank you so much Chris for exploring the city ... actually
I dunno if it's open for tourism, but Immanuel Church is pretty worth visiting - if Catedral is a Chatolic church, Immanuel is the oldest Protestant Church in Jakarta ... It has a giant piano (orgel) from the Dutch era 👍
I don’t know about that church, I’m Protestant myself, so I would love to visit next time I’m in Jakarta. Thanks for the tip :)🩵

Hi Chris..I think you should visit Immanuel Church too. It's quite near from Istiqlal Mosque. So, you can see three beautiful buildings of different religions in one area..
I didn't know about this church, I would of visited it too. Next time I will definately do that, thanks alot for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
@@ChrisTravelstheWorld Your most welcome. Many visitors only know about the Cathedral because it is located on the opposite side of Istiqlal Mosque..but Immanuel Church could be reached by 5-10 minutes walking from both Istiqlal and Cathedral. It was built in 1834 and features a 178-year-old organ that still works properly.
try whoosh train to bandung cool cty...
Oh, cool, I need to do this next time I visit, I didn't know you have high-speed train in Indonesia, that's so cool ;)
Hey Chris, I’m Indonesian and I didn’t know that you can visit Habibie & Ainun Library 😮 Can one just show up and given access to the library, or do you have to book in advance? Thank you in advance!
Hi there, I was invited to a meeting, so this is how end up there. I think you better check with them when they are opened and if you need to book an appointment, not sure how it works...
@@ChrisTravelstheWorld Ah, I see. I’m from 1400 Kilometers (or 869.9164 miles) away from Jakarta so it’d be nice to confirm whether they accept visitors before actually making my way there, but I haven’t been able to find anything online. Thanks anyways! Glad you were able to visit the library. Hope you had a good time in Jakarta.
