Sawah Besar

As one of the oldest districts in Jakarta, Sawah Besar area is home to some of the city’s most scenic landmarks. From shopping centers to cultural destinations, this area offers a lot to be explored. Established in 1820, Pasar Baru is a melting pot where Chinese, Indian, and Indonesian cultures merge — making this area a perfect destination to hunt for vintage items, souvenirs, clothes, textiles, and more. Meanwhile, fashion enthusiasts can simply go to Mangga Dua shopping center to keep up with the latest trends. While you are in the area, don't miss out on the majestic architecture of the Istiqlal Mosque, Indonesia’s largest mosque, and Jakarta Cathedral Church. Standing close to each other, these two buildings symbolize the harmony between different religions in Indonesia. Visitors can also go to Jakarta Art Building to watch live performances and the Antara Gallery of Photojournalism to see photography exhibitions.
