Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village

Setu Babakan is the living guardian of Betawi culture, a tranquil village set beside a placid lake in the southern reaches of Jakarta. Here the traditions of the original inhabitants of the city endure through wooden houses, folk performances, and craft demonstrations presented for visitors. Stalls serve authentic Betawi delicacies such as kerak telor and soto, while paddle boats drift lazily across the water. Weekend gatherings often feature music and dance handed down for generations. It is a warm and authentic immersion in the heritage of the capital.
