Reviews from Real Guests:

Ramdan993: Monumen Nasional atau yang populer disingkat dengan Monas atau Tugu Monas adalah monumen peringatan setinggi 132 meter (433 kaki) yang didirikan untuk mengenang perlawanan dan perjuangan rakyat Indonesia untuk merebut kemerdekaan dari pemerintahan kolonial Hindia Belanda. Pembangunan monumen ini dimulai pada tanggal 17 Agustus 1961 di bawah perintah presiden Soekarno dan dibuka untuk umum pada tanggal 12 Juli 1975. Tugu ini dimahkotai lidah api yang dilapisi lembaran emas yang melambangkan semangat perjuangan yang menyala-nyala dari rakyat Indonesia. Monumen Nasional terletak tepat di tengah Lapangan Medan Merdeka, Jakarta Pusat.

Dana: I was there on a Saturday afternoon. The Sun was up and it was really hot! I recommend that you do not visit this attraction at noon, because it is such a huge open area. You will be walking around it under the sun. If it is unavoidable to visit at noon, don't forget to bring Sun Protection, such as umbrellas or caps. The monument, by the way, it super tall and is breathtaking. People can pay an amount to climb up to the observatory the top. From there, you may see the cityscape of Jakarta. The are also a lot of food stalls and souvenir stalls in the entrance of the park, they got your shopping covered.
