I will always remember Jakarta’s Kota Tua, a popular destination for tourists and locals in Indonesia. There were just so many things to learn and see there, like the historical buildings that are remnants of the Dutch colonial rule.

Kota Tua is known for its museums, many of which are within walking distance of each other. But for me, it wasn’t just the museums that were worth checking out as I was also interested in the Dutch-themed structures. It made me feel like I was in another city altogether.
