If you are interested in the traditional architecture of the country, you can spend the afternoon in the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, where you can see life-size replicas of the traditional houses of different regions.

Well, you didn't give us any idea of what you like, so it's very hard to give you any ideas.

If you like museums do check out the National Museum. the Gold Room has a fabulous collectioin of old gold artifacts and it's in a nicer area of Jakarta, in Menteng. You can also check out the old Dutch City Hall, Fatihilah.

You might also ask this on Tripadvisor..there are lots of Jakarta people on that forum.

The national museum is definitely worth a visit. You could take the train down to Kota - the old city of Batavia, and spend some time wandering around the old Dutch buildings in the square, (make sure you visit the puppet museum there.)

The time is so short (A day). I think you better go to National Monument (Monas). It's the city landmark.There;s many objects around Monas such presidential palace and national museum. Remember there's always traffic jam in Jakarta so you have to really estimated your time :)
