The metropolitan capital delivers the best of Indonesian city and beach life. A melting pot of different cultures, this
urban jungle’s 100+ malls, packed closely together, make it a popular shopping destination. Plus, you can wander
around Jakarta Old Town's colonial buildings, or take the 90-minute boat trip to the idyllic Thousand Islands beaches.
Getting around is easy thanks to the Jakarta MRT underground railway system, which launched in March.


Highlights 1 Hop on a boat from Ancol Bay and head to the tropical islands of Kepulauan Seribu for a night in a private
beach hut. 2 Soak up the heritage in West Jakarta at Museum Fatahillah, and tour the surrounding Kota Tua district on
a classic bicycle. 3 Drop by Setu Babakan in the south, where you can learn the story of the native Betawi culture.
