Museum Angkut
Jakarta History Museum
Benteng Fredeburg
My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The grounds are a bit uneven, and you'll want to wander around without any sore feet!
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. Weekends can get really packed and it’s harder to take photos without people in the way
The Bandung Geological Museum
I recommend visiting on Wednesdays because the entrance fee is half off! That way you can save some cash and spend it on souvenirs later.
National Museum of Indonesia
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekends can be super crowded, and I enjoyed the exhibits way more when there were fewer people around.
The Ambarawa Railway Museum
Make sure to bring cash, especially for the train rides. I was stuck because I assumed they took cards, but it was cash only so plan ahead.
Get there right when the museum opens around 8 AM to beat the crowds. I went later, and it got real busy. You'll have more time to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.
Think about getting some local food from the nearby stalls after your visit. I found a great little spot, and it was such a tasty and budget-friendly option!
Bank Indonesia Museum
The House of Sampoerna
My advice is to check out the cafe there after your tour. Their coffee is surprisingly good and really affordable!
I think you should try to visit on a weekday, it’s way less crowded then. I went on Saturday and had to squeeze through so many people!
Aceh Tsunami Museum
Don’t miss the interactive sections; they were surprisingly engaging and really add to the experience. I thought they were gonna be a bit dull tbh!
Take your time in the museum; don’t rush. I spent about 2-3 hours here and still felt like I could have seen more!
If you're on a budget, skip the expensive souvenirs inside the museum. There are local shops nearby with way better prices and unique items
Bring a water bottle and some snacks. There’s not much food around and you might want a little pick-me-up while wandering through.
Dirgantara Mandala Museum
I suggest packing some snacks. The museum cafeteria is a bit pricey, and you might want to grab a quick bite between exhibits.
Consider taking public transport or a rideshare instead of driving. Parking can be a hassle and it saves you the stress of finding a spot.
