Jakarta is the cosmopolitan capital city of Indonesia, set on the volcanic island of Java with lots of holiday appeal, from a melting pot of cultures and world-class restaurants to a dazzling skyline with some of the finest buildings in Indonesia, lush parks and gardens, an excellent art scene with incredible museums and vibrant live music bars.

Jakarta offers an authentic experience of Indonesia, away from its nature and beaches.

There are some amazing sightseeing landmarks in Jakarta which are symbolic to the country and its rich cultural heritage. The towering National Monument is a major attraction which was built to symbolise Indonesia’s Independence, as is the magnificent Istiqlal Mosque which is the largest mosque in South Asia, also built to commemorate this important period in Indonesian history.

Right by the mosque is the stunning Jakarta Cathedral, which represents Jakarta’s religious harmony and diversity.

Jakarta boasts a fantastic base location for additional exploration as it’s set nearby scenic islands and other charming cities. Bogor at the foothills of the breath-taking Mount Salak is just an hour’s drive from the city and the Thousands Islands are just a short ferry journey away with beautiful coastlines and incredible water activities.
