Jakarta Trips & Tours

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!
