Last year I was in Makassar for a day as well. I was travelling to Tana Toraja, central-south Sulawesi. My (personal opinion) advice, just take it easy and don't do too much. To me the city was very unattractive. I tried to find the hidden beauty of it, but I could'nt find it. Off course, a day is too short too really form an opinion, but Makassar is definitely not the town to see some quik high-lights in one day. Your best shot will be indeed, as mentioned earlier, Fort Rotterdam. But if I were you, just relax and get over your jet lag!
