with the top gold plated, and so many historical inside this is the main attraction. there's a big parking space but u have to look for it because there no sign for it. best photo moment is 5-7 in the evening. and 6-9 in the morning. More

I visited Monas around 6pm local time. I did not get a chance to go up to the top of the building since there is quite a number of reviews mentioned visitors can catch a splendid view of Jakarta up there.
