Jalan Braga
A tree-lined avenue from the colonial era, known as the 'Paris of Java'. Old Art Deco buildings now house cafés, galleries and restaurants.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Jalan Braga was the fashionable shopping street of the Dutch colonists, and this is where the nickname 'Parijs van Java' (the Paris of Java) came from. Many Art Deco-style old buildings still line the street, which now hosts cafés, dessert shops, street galleries and restaurants, as well as the century-old Sumber Hidangan bakery. The southern end meets Jalan Asia Afrika, so you can walk it together with the Asia-Africa Conference Museum and the Savoy Homann Hotel. On weekend evenings the street is often closed to traffic and features street performances, so the atmosphere is lively.
