Timeline

  1. 08:00

    Toko Kopi TUKU - Blok M

    Grab a coffee at Toko Kopi TUKU - Blok M. It opens at 07:00, so arriving at 08:00 ensures you get a seat before the mid-morning rush. Order a local brew and watch the neighborhood wake up.

  2. 08:20

    Djoko Sutono

    Walk 15 minutes to Djoko Sutono. This statue commemorates Professor DR. Djoko Sutono, SH, the founder of the Indonesian Police Academy. It is a quiet, respectful spot to pause and reflect on the history of the area.

  3. 08:35

    Taman Prapanca 2

    Stroll 19 minutes north to Taman Prapanca 2. This small park offers a green escape just steps away from the bustle. It is a perfect place to sit and enjoy the morning air.

    Soto Kemiri Ayam Kampung

    End your walk with lunch at Soto Kemiri Ayam Kampung. Located only 7 minutes from the park, this restaurant is open from 07:00 to 22:00. Enjoy a hearty bowl of chicken soto, a Jakarta staple, to fuel your afternoon.

Local tip

Taman Prapanca 2 is small but peaceful. If you prefer a larger green space, Hutan Kota GBK is a 40-minute walk north, but it requires more time. For this short plan, the smaller park keeps the walk manageable.
