It's very wide. Usually in the morning people come to this area for jogging. Monas itself opens at 8 to 15 everyday, if i'm not mistaken. If you want to enter monas, you should go through basement tunnel where you can buy ticket to enter the building, Rp.16.000 for all entrance (including top of building, museum and cawan area) or...

If you like a bird's eye view of the city of Jakarta, Monas is a place to be, especially in the morning. I can only complain about the airconditioning at the base museum but the experience of going around this place was worth the while.

National Monument is a mile square park in the heart of Jakarta. it is a place the locals come to on weekends to play with the kids, picnic and more than anything else, try to sell drinks and raman to tourists to make some money. The tower had such a long queue that I decided to skip the trip to... More

The monument itself is by no means the main attraction here ( it's actually pretty boring ) . There is a very good museum and beautiful parks , and I had the added bonus of visiting on " no car day " which seems to be once a month . It might be best to visit when the kids are... More

Jakarta impress little bit much when it comes to observing from the height. There is always pretty long line of turists waiting for the lift - approximate time of waiting is 0,5 -1 h. Nice park / surroundings of the monument, well maintained and clean which is not frequent to see in Jakarta.
