3 Activities for Proactive Tourists in Central Jakarta

You can look forward to an exciting holiday in Indonesia after you've checked in your hotel in Jakarta. Pusat, also known as Central Jakarta, is a 48-square-kilometre playground for those who wish to experience different cultures and fill their sights and wardrobes with the latest fashion and luxury brands. If you're searching for a more interactive tour of the city, you won't be disappointed with the choices presented by this district.

Some suggested activities while in Central Jakarta:

1. Walking Tour
Jakarta is known for its heavy traffic, so people who love to get around or are pressed for time have the option of touring the city on foot. Some attractions that are just walking distance from each other are Monas or National Monument, Merdeka or Independence Palace, National Museum, and Freedom Square. These destinations play an important role in the country's history, so aside from the calories that you'll burn and the time you saved, you also get to learn new things about Indonesia during your walking tour.

2. Visit Sports Outfits
If you're a sports buff who simply must squeeze working out in between attending conferences and meetings in the city, you can try the numerous fitness centres in the area. If you're into a relaxing weekend, you can also opt to play golf at any of the 3 ranges in Central Jakarta. The district also has a bowling alley for a fun weekend with old friends, and dark, smoky pool parlours for a game or two with new acquaintances.

3. Drink and Dine
Restaurants, cafes, and bars are a common sight in Central Jakarta. These serve Chinese, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Middle Eastern, Thai, seafood, or vegetarian dishes —  all you have to do is choose a cuisine to try for the day and pick a restaurant that fits your budget. There are also restaurants that let you taste the flavours of Indonesia by serving Javanese and North Sulawesi dishes.
