The National Monument is open daily from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Sunday.

Given that the National Monument is located in the city government center, using a private vehicle might help you avoid the queues for public transportation during peak hours. Alternatively, you can use online ride-hailing services to navigate Jakarta more easily. Public transportation is also an option. You can take a Transjakarta bus on the Blok M-Kota route or PGC-Monas route and disembark at the Monas bus stop. If traveling by KRL (commuter train), stop at Juanda Station and walk approximately 1.5 kilometers to reach the monument.

Access to the National Monument park is free, though there is a parking fee for vehicles. To enter the National Monument Museum, you need to purchase a Jakcard for IDR 50,000 at the counter. The museum admission fee is IDR 8,000 for adults, IDR 5,000 for students, and IDR 3,000 for children. For a visit to the top of the monument, the fees are IDR 24,000 for adults, IDR 13,000 for students, and IDR 6,000 for children.

In addition to exploring the National Monument Museum and enjoying views of Jakarta from the top, visitors can take a ride on a traditional Indonesian carriage known as a Delman. Delman rides are popular with both children and adults. The cost for a Delman ride is approximately IDR 50,000 per trip, though prices may vary depending on the duration of the ride. Be sure to bring cash for this activity.

The National Monument is situated in a prime location, surrounded by various other historical and cultural sites. Besides the monument itself, there are numerous museums and landmarks in the vicinity worth exploring.
