Special Capital Region of Jakarta

Indonesia's largest city and its political and economic center, where the colonial old town, the National Monument and diverse cuisine come together, and the main gateway for archipelago travel.

Jakarta lies on the northwest coast of Java and is Indonesia's largest metropolis, long the nation's capital and economic center. Sights in the city include Merdeka Square and the National Monument (Monas), the Istiqlal Mosque, the National Museum and the Dutch colonial-era old quarter (Kota Tua). The Thousand Islands off the northern coast can be reached by boat for a getaway. It is also a great place to sample regional dishes from across Indonesia. The climate is hot and humid year-round, and the dry season, May–Sep, is the more comfortable time to visit. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is the main air gateway into Indonesia.
