Kota Tua aka Old Town Jakarta aka Old Batavia

Kota Tua is what remains of Batavia.  It is located on the north end of town near the harbor and was once the commercial center of the Dutch East India Company. Some of the architecture remains and several of the buildings surrounding this square have been converted to museums.Deborah, Melissa, and I spent a day in Kota Tua this weekend.

Our day began with a ride across town on the bus.  Then crossing this street.  Even on weekends there can be a lot of traffic.

Bikes you can rent to pedal around the area….but you have to wear a matching hat.
