Istiqlal Mosque (Masjid Istiqlal)

Not only is this mosque one of the largest in Southeast Asia, it also happens to be staggeringly beautiful. Since Jakarta is mainly an Islamic community, a visit to this massive mosque is an ideal way to observe the city's religious life. Visitors are allowed to enter when prayers are not happening, but should remember to dress modestly and remove their shoes. Phone: +62 21 315 4094.
