• 5Jakarta for beginners

  Having never visited Jakarta before this tour gave great insight into the complex and diverse culture and history of this city. Our guide was knowledgeable and keen to talk openly about the life and issues faced by people in Jakarta Lunch was an amazing feast and our driver made the chaotic traffic a walk in the park.

About Jakarta

Jakarta is Indonesia's largest city, on the north coast of Java, with old Dutch Batavia, tall towers, mosques, markets and endless street food.

Jakarta began as the Dutch trading port of Batavia, and the old town, Kota Tua, still has colonial buildings around Fatahillah Square, including the former town hall that now houses a history museum. Nearby, the harbour of Sunda Kelapa has wooden schooners moored at the quay. The National Monument, topped with a gilded flame, stands in Merdeka Square in the centre.
