Jakarta Trips & Tours

Get to know Indonesia's heritage and peek into the future in bright and bustling Jakarta.
Indonesia's capital has everything you might expect from a sprawling metropolis: impressive skyscrapers, hooting motorbikes, shiny shopping malls and 10 million people of all ethnicities. It’s fast, furious and you’ll either love it or hate it, but don’t make up your mind just yet… There’s a fantastic jazz scene, a selection of brilliant art galleries, and plenty of high-rise hotels with glitzy roof terraces for evening drinks. When you’ve had enough of the modern, take a journey through Indonesia’s past starting at the National Museum of Indonesia. The building itself is modelled on a Greek temple and the airy courtyard is filled with priceless statues. Just across the road is the National Monument, a 132-metre high tower built to commemorate the country’s struggle for Independence and a short Uber ride away is Old Batavia, the city’s old town and a great spot for a coffee and a spot of people-watching. It’s this dynamic to and fro between the ancient and the uber-mod that gives Jakarta its unique character; and we love it!

Why you'll love it

Most of Indonesia is wildly-beautiful and utterly serene so spending some time in Jakarta is a fascinating glimpse into a different side... for a little while!
Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Head just north of the city to the Thousand Islands and take some time out to bask in the sunshine and swim in the gin-clear waters.

Something to think about

Jakarta is notorious for its traffic jams so it's wise to plan ahead and allocate extra time for travel. Opt for public transport like the MRT or commuter trains to navigate more efficiently.
