16 days in Jakarta Itinerary

The capital and largest city of Indonesia, Jakarta offers the kind of cultural, historical, and natural stimulation expected from the most populous city in Southeast Asia.

Let the collections at National Museum and Museum Bank Indonesia capture your imagination. Bring the kids along to Spas and Grand Indonesia Mall. Change things up with these side-trips from Jakarta: Tangerang (Vihara Boen Tek Bio, Museum Benteng Heritage, &more). Pack the 15th (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park. Pack the 23rd (Tue) with family-friendly diversions at KidZania Jakarta. And it doesn't end there: take in the spiritual surroundings of Istiqlal Mosque, examine the collection at Museum Di Tengah Kebun, make a splash at Waterbom Jakarta, and steep yourself in history at Jakarta Old Town.
