The Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority announced the opening of parts of the city to the public in a press statement on Sunday, saying that the new city will open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a maximum of 300 visitors a day.

To take a tour of the city, visitors need to register themselves on a Nusantara-dedicated app called IKNOW. Once they have booked their slots, visitors are instructed to gather at the meeting points near Nusantara, where they will be picked up by electric bus.

The buses will drop visitors at the station near Nusantara’s Ceremony Plaza and the Kusuma Bangsa Park, two spots inside Nusantara that are open to the public.

The Ceremony Plaza is a sprawling field that directly faces the State Palace and the Garuda Palace, and is also fitted with a mini amphitheater, forest trail, retail gallery and visitor center.

The Kusuma Bangsa Park covers nearly 2,000 square meters and has sculptures designed by renowned Balinese artist Nyoman Nuarta, who was also responsible for designing the steel blades of the Garuda Palace structure that emulate the wings of the mythical Garuda bird, the nation’s symbol.

IKN Authority spokesperson Troy Pantouw said that it is hoped that opening Nusantara to the public will promote the city’s development and increasing public participation in the process.
