A signature landmark in Jakarta that is not to be missed. Best to go in the evening for shutter bugs ad you get lesser glare.

Monumen Nasional (MONAS)contains a great history behind the independence of Indonesia with 3D diorama!T here's a lift that can take you to the peak and you can see the view of Jakarta from the top

One of the main attractions of Jakarta. It’s simple but it’s nice to explore the park . I prefer the night time when it’s cooler temperature wise.

A must visit while you're in Jakarta. Completed my Jakarta marathon 2015 here. Good place for stroll/light jogging in the evening. Love it here!

A solemn flag ceremony at the National Palace is followed by street parties. Play panjat pinang, a game where people climb greased palm trees to grab prizes at the top. - Green Guide Editor

One of Indonesia's historic landmarks located at Central Jakarta (Makati version). The surroundings remind me of QC circle though. From the top view , it shows clear Jakarta skyline.

The National Monument dominates the Jakarta skyline. At the base is the National History Museum , 115-metres above an observation deck offering the best views of the city .

5000 for museum , 15000 for tower (expect long waiting times). At the entrance you receive a Jakcard (25000) which is a prepaid card and after top-up can be used for public transport and more.

The National Monument (Monas) is a 132 meter tower in the center of Merdeka Square, symbolizing the fight for Indonesia. You can visit the observation deck at the top of it by less than 10K IDR.

this Monumen has many hisory! There has unique culinary food.. named Kerak Telor ^^ The taste is so delicious

The 'flame' part is made from gold. Beautiful in night lighting too.

Monas, are sights that are not less interesting than the old city . Monas is also a legacy of the city tower in the Dutch colonial period.

The monument and the museum is open daily from 08.00 - 15.00 Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), everyday throughout the week, except for the last Monday of each month, when the monument is closed.

The towering monument encapsulates the philosophy of Lingga and Yoni. Lingga resembles an alu rice pestle and Yoni resembles a lesung rice mortar, two important traditional Indonesian tools.

In the basement , you can try and read the history of Indonesia. The English captions are very poorly translated, but you'll get the idea.

Pameran Alutsista ( Main Weaponary Defence System Exhibition ) Celebrating Indonesian Army' s Birthday, held once a year every early October. Free entrance & free Panser Anoa explore.

The relief story begins in the northeastern corner, and describes the ancient glory of the Indonesian archipelago, featuring ancient history especially that of Singhasari and Majapahit.

go to monas on Saturday or Sunday at 19 o'clock see and enjoy the beautiful fountain dancing . after that u should have dinner at sabang i mean sabang street not sabang sampai marauke,

The most famous landmark in Jakarta. Lights up at night!

Jakarta Pusat is a place that has a very bad traffic jam all day long. Best to visit on weekends.

This is where you'll find large collections of items that shaped a culture, such as Hindu Javanese art and a wide selection of ceramics from Southeast Asia .

National Monuments , located at the heart of jakarta

Another beautiful sky scraper here that has a beautiful architecture .

Inside the base of the monument there is the Indonesian National History Museum , located three metres below the surface of the monument .

You can ascend the monument by lift top can then see the beauty of the city from the top of Monas , Fantastic !

Jakarta monas fountain shows on Saturday and Sunday nite at 19.30 pm and 20.30 pm.

Went here at night to take photos of the night view . Nice place, very huge area so be prepared to walk a lot. But very disappointed with rubbish being thrown everywhere. So untidy.

Don't let the tower make you overlook the beautifull garden with the flower sculptures .

Plenty of events were held in Monas such as Jakarta Anniversary
