Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... are you a member of Jakarta Creatives yet? Want to see pictures of past events? Take a look here! And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊

JakFri and JakCre is the biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for FREE BUS TOUR & dinner 🚌 in Central Jakarta!

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Let's play tourists for a day. We're gonna hop on a Free Tour Bus (an EMoney or BCA Flazz card will be needed) and explore the sights around Jakarta City Central. We can take in the city's skyscrapers and vibrant lights while catching up with each other and connect with new friends.

It's a two-level bus. We'll begin our journey at Monas, specifically at Halte IRTI. Let's gather there at 4 pm to catch the last bus of the day.
From Monas, the bus will head to Bundaran Senayan. Then to Juanda Street before returning to Monas. The entire trip takes about an hour, depending on traffic conditions.

If you want to join only for dinner at the venue (see below 👇🏽) it's possible but it's your responsibility to find the group and wait to have a free seat at the restaurant, etc. (the group cannot wait for you!)

ABOUT THE VENUE

After the bus tour we'll stroll over to Kawisari Cafe & Eatery (a roughly 10-minute walk). They serve a range of local dishes. Over there we can grab an afternoon snack or dinner while enjoying authentic conversations amidst their traditional architecture. They also have various beers on the menu.
