T
he National Monument (Monas) in Central Jakarta was swamped with tourists over the weekend.
Some tourists were unable to take the elevator up to the monument’s observation deck as the 2,200 visitor limit had been reached.
“There was already a long line at 7 a.m., and the 2,200 person limit for the observation deck was reached an hour ago,” an officer working at the monument said as quoted by kompas.com on Saturday.
Monas staff will only extend the visitor limit for the observation deck by 500 people at 6:30 p.m.
The 2,200 tickets for the monument’s observation deck were sold out in two hours to enthusiastic tourists visiting Jakarta for the Idul Fitri holiday. The monument’s observation deck opened at 8 a.m., while the tickets were completely sold out by around 10 a.m.
