Tourism in Jakarta

Jakarta is the capital and largest city of Indonesia. Located on t he northwest coast of Java, it earned its name from the Javanese word for "complete victory". The city has nearly 10 million people in the metropolitan area, making it the most populous city in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

Because of its size and location, Jakarta is the country's economic, cultural and political center, making it an excellent location for adventurous tourists. However, this is a place for serious travelers looking to get to know a new location and see the realities of life in Jakarta; it is tricky for a tourist to easily navigate the area and there are not a lot of tourist attractions. Little in this city is candy-coated, but instead the city shows the brutally honest realities of life in the area.

Although there are no attractions specifically designed to attract tourists, visitors who take initiative will have more than enough to explore. There are many parks, museums, markets and religious buildings around that share culture and history of the area. However, finding places in Jakarta, especially small places off the main streets, tends to be difficult as there are few signs and the set-up of the city is very different than the organization of Australian cities.

While Jakarta is a difficult city to maneuver for the meek, it is a city well worth the trip for someone who is up for a challenge and who has the patience to explore Jakarta's charms and take an adventure. Untouched by most tourists, the city shows authentic Indonesian culture.
