OVERVIEW
Jakarta
Jakarta is a city of contrasts -- gleaming skyscrapers tower over centuries-old Dutch colonial buildings, luxury malls sit alongside bustling traditional markets, and world-class restaurants share streets with legendary street food carts. As Southeast Asia's largest city, Jakarta pulses with an energy that captivates and surprises. The city is the gateway to Indonesia's extraordinary archipelago, and a fascinating destination in its own right. From the historic Kota Tua (Old Town) to the futuristic skyline of Sudirman, Jakarta tells the story of a nation on the rise.
Jakarta rewards the curious traveller with world-class museums, a thriving contemporary art scene, remarkable culinary diversity, and a nightlife that rivals any global capital. It is also the perfect starting point for excursions to Puncak's highland tea plantations, Bandung's volcanoes, and the ancient temples of Central Java.
