Jakarta

Discover Jakarta, a city of contrasts where shanty chalets crowd amongst mansions, where modernity mixes with traditional Indonesia to a contemporary western architectural backdrop. Enter this dynamic city and entice your senses as you explore all that Jakarta has to offer – from its cultural and culinary delights, to its vivacious shopping and nightlife scene.

Start your journey in the hub of the city, Taman Merdeka (Independence Square), the home of the imposing 132 metre tall National Monument for which Jakarta is famous. Experience Taman Fatahillah in the centre of Jakarta Old Town (otherwise known as Kota or Old Batavia) and behold the sights of old Dutch-colonial architectural marvels, and for the full picture of Jakarta’s past visit the National History Museum.

For a visual treat, visit Taman Mini Indonesia Indah or “Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park” which showcases a microcosm of Indonesian culture and physical geography. Don’t forget to see the exquisite Masjid Itstiqlal, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. Shop ‘til you drop in the gigantic shopping centres of the Mangga Dua area.

You’re bound to find something in the 7-floor shopping galore at Taman Anggrek mall. High-end shoppers head to Plaza Senayan for gourmet food and designer boutiques, and the colourful Jalan Jaksa won’t disappoint as a haggler’s heaven and cheap entertainment and accommodation strip. Recharge with a bite of nasi goreng before a trip to Jakarta’s nightlife district Blok M, for a night to remember as you rub elbows with the city’s eclectic group of party animals.
