Book Exclusive Jakarta Vacation Packages

We know, geography isn't everyone's strong suit. If you're not sure where Jakarta lies on a map, you'd be wise to look into its location before you head off!

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is 75 miles (121 kilometers) northwest from the noteworthy city, Bandung.

With so many things to do in this corner of West Java, it's not hard to see why 8,500,000 locals reside here.

Places to visit in Jakarta

Heading to Jakarta and hoping to visit the National Monument? When you arrive, why not speak to the locals about it first? After all, there's nothing like getting inside intel from the folk who live there!

Looking for some sightseeing inspiration? Make your way to Jakarta Cathedral, a significant attraction that'll give you a peek into the city's unique style.

Traveling can often mean donning the same clothes each day. So, if you feel like spoiling yourself with a smart new outfit, make your way over to Pacific Place. Need some more options? Many have said that knowledge is power. With that in mind, you'll definitely feel more powerful by the time you leave Textile Museum. But that's not all there is. Many critical policies have been discussed behind the doors of Presidential Palace. Take it in from afar or close up on a tour or an open day.

Where do you fly into for Jakarta?
