General Information

Helter-skelter Jakarta is a formidable place to embark upon. The chaotic, hyperactive capital city of Indonesia has undergone a paradigm shift over the past decade. From riots to reinvestment, Jakarta, with a metro population of 23 million people, is now a veritable boom town.

The period of political and financial instability that left the city province in ruin, with myriad lives lost and considerable property damage, is a mere glint in the rear-view window. Present-day Jakarta is a primary world destination, crucial to the economy of Southeast Asia and t ... Read more »
he fortunes of Indonesia and the region as a whole. Flirtations with democracy, incessant battles with oppressive poverty and untold other obstacles that stem from a painful emergence from the military junta era, make Jakarta a complex but inherently attractive destination.

Attractions

“The Big Durian”, the unofficial and derisive nickname for Jakarta, is home to a rich ethnic stew of native and non-native populations, with a history that pre-dates the Holy Roman Empire. As a result, the city has tremendous appeal for inquisitive, adventure travellers. With inferior public transportation, indistinguishable streets, constant gridlock and a general lack of tourist regard however, patience is essential.

Jakarta, a massive city, is best thought of as a collection of districts. Central Jakarta is home to excellent museums, parks and upmarket retail shops and malls. The National Gallery and National Museum provide a wonderful look into the cultural heritage and history of Indonesia.

North Jakarta is the access point to the popular Thousand Island region. The resort network of 110 small islands off the coast is the primary getaway for wealthy city inhabitants and expats.

The principal attraction in East Jakarta is the massive Taman Mini Indonesia Indah complex, home to a vast array of museums that range from science and military, to sports and transportation.

South Jakarta is popular for a bevy of nightclubs, bars, amusement parks, malls and duty free shops. The district also contains several 18-hole golf courses, posh spas and fitness clubs. One museums of note in the area is the Basoeki Abdullah collection, with superb works from the famous artist from Indonesia.

West Jakarta has some of the most spectacular architecture in the historic city, in addition to indelible landmarks. The Diamond City Hanging Bridge and Diamond Fort, both built in the early 17th century, comprise the two most popular attractions. The Jakarta Museum and Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics are both worth a visit.

Events

The Jakarta Fair celebrates the birth of the city in mid-July every year, with cultural exhibits, shows and fireworks.

August 17 is Independence Day in Indonesia, with formal and informal events all over the capital city.

The Jakarta International Film Festival in early November showcases new cinema from Indonesia and Asia.

Throughout the month of December the National Museum hosts traditional Javanese concerts. Special performances of traditional Indonesian dance and drama take place at the Bharata Theatre and Taman Mini complex.

As a multicultural city, Jakarta celebrates most major Muslim, Hindu and Christian holidays, even though 85% of the population observes Islam.

Climate

In close proximity to the equator, Jakarta has a typical tropical climate for the region. The temperature range throughout the year is between 25°C and 38°C, with hot, humid conditions. The notorious monsoon rains run from October to February, with peak precipitation in January. August is the most arid month of the year.
