About Jakarta
Jakarta is Indonesia's chaotic capital — traffic nightmares, street food, skyscrapers, and a vibe that's more business hub than tourist spot. It's not pretty, and most people skip it for Bali. But the food scene is underrated (nasi goreng, gado-gado, satay), and it's a gateway to Java's temples (Borobudur, Prambanan).
- •National Monument (Monas) and Merdeka Square
- •Kota Tua (old town) for colonial architecture
- •Street food in Jalan Sabang or Kota Tua
- •Day trips to Borobudur (8 hours) or Thousand Islands (2 hours)
