About Jakarta

The capital of Indonesia, Jakarta is the most crowded city of Southeast Asia with a population of 8 million. The name of the city means "Victory", and the town has been an important coastal town since the 4th century AD. Istiqlal Mosque is one of the symbolic buildings of the city. In addition, you can visit places such as Tamam Fatahillah (Town Square), National Monument, Sunda Kelepa, Flea Market, Glodok (China Town), the zoo, Gereja Immanuel, and the bird and fish market.

Jakarta is also famous for its theme parks. Ancol Dream Park is a amusement park with many sections from water slides to aquarium and beaches. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is a miniature park, where you can see the miniature version of 250 different cultural buildings in Indonesia. You take a walk in the harbour, where the largest commercial sailing ships of the old world are exhibited. You can also visit Thousand Islands, which are used by Jakarta locals as a summer resort.

Jakarta has a tropical climate. It is hot and humid year-round, with the wet season being between October and April.  We can say that the most appropriate time to visit the city would be between June and September, when the rainfall is at a minimum.
 
Public transportation is popular in Jakarta but we recommend you to use taxis since they are cheap and reliable. The traffic in the city is heavy as the city is crowded and intensely populated. Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, one of the busiest in the world, provides international air transportation.
