Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex
Gelora Bung Karno
Main venue of the 1962 Asian Games, with a striking ring-roofed stadium and a city running track, the hub of Jakarta's early-morning fitness routine.
Built in the Sukarno era, the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium hosted the Asian Games in 1962 and 2018. It seats about 77,000 people and is known for its distinctive ring-shaped steel roof. The surrounding sports park has an oval running track and tree-lined paths, filled with joggers and cyclists at dawn and dusk. It also hosts concerts and football matches. Entry to the park is free, but tours of the stadium interior and events require tickets. It is a short walk from MRT Istora Mandiri station and close to the SCBD business district and shopping malls.
