About Jakarta

Jakarta is Southeast Asia's megacity done right — a sprawling, chaotic, intoxicating capital where Dutch colonial ruins share walls with glass skyscrapers, and where the best meal you'll eat costs less than a coffee back home. The city rewards the curious: dive into Kota Tua's crumbling grandeur at dawn before the crowds arrive, then lose yourself in the neighbourhood warung culture of Menteng or the buzzing creative scene around Blok M. It's loud, relentless, and utterly addictive.

Visa requirements

Visa requirements depend on your passport — check your government's travel advice before booking.

Good to know

✓Use Grab or Gojek for rides since traffic makes street-hailed taxis unpredictable and slow
✓Allow at least three hours to reach the airport during weekday rush hours
✓Escape to the Thousand Islands for a quick beach day when the city feels overwhelming

✈️ Getting there

CGKSoekarno-Hatta International Airport

📍 20 km⏱ 50 min🚌 Rail Link Train🚌 DAMRI Bus🚕 Taxi🚌 Grab/Gojek

The Airport Rail Link is the best option — trains run every 30 minutes to Sudirman/Manggarai station in central Jakarta in around 50 minutes, costing roughly 70,000–100,000 IDR (€4–6); far faster than a taxi in Jakarta's notorious traffic.

Southeast Asia's second-busiest airport after Changi, with three terminals served by Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air, and most major international carriers including KLM, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines; Terminal 3 handles international and full-service flights.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Jakarta — beyond the tourist trail.

🏛️Arrive at Fatahillah Square in Kota Tua by 7am — the cobblestone plaza is ghost-quiet before tour groups descend, and the colonial facades photograph beautifully in low morning light. The Jakarta History Museum inside the old Town Hall costs just 5,000 IDR.

🍜Eat soto betawi (Jakarta's rich coconut milk beef soup) at a street stall in Pasar Santa market in South Jakarta — it's the version locals actually eat, not the tourist-restaurant interpretation. Order it with rice cake (ketupat) and extra emping crackers.

🎨The National Gallery of Indonesia on Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur houses the country's finest collection of modern Indonesian art and is almost always uncrowded — free entry on Sundays. Look for the massive Raden Saleh oil paintings.

🌆Head to the rooftop bar at Henshin (The Westin Jakarta, 67th floor) for sundowners — the 360-degree view of the Jakarta skyline turning orange at dusk is one of the great urban spectacles in Asia. Arrive at 5:30pm before the after-work crowd.

🛵Book a street food ojek (motorcycle) tour through Glodok, Jakarta's Chinatown — the labyrinthine lanes hide old temple courtyards, medicinal herb vendors, and bakmi stalls that have been open for generations. Most tours run at night when the neighbourhood truly wakes up.
