Java, Indonesia's capital

Jakarta

Jakarta is Indonesia's capital and its biggest city. For creators, the main draw is Kota Tua, the old town of colonial Batavia, with its square, museums and the old Sunda Kelapa harbour nearby. It works as a one- or two-day add-on for culture, history and city channels. Traffic is heavy, so days are planned tightly.

What films well in Jakarta?

  • Fatahillah Square and the colonial-era buildings around it
  • Museums on the square, including the Jakarta History Museum
  • Wooden sailing ships at the old Sunda Kelapa harbour
  • Street food and city life around the old town

How do I combine Jakarta with Bali?

Jakarta and Bali are connected by frequent domestic flights, which Explera does not provide. Book that flight yourself once your itinerary is confirmed; we handle hotels, transfers and activities at both ends.

What about the heat and traffic?

Jakarta is hot and humid year-round and its traffic is among the heaviest in the region. Walks start early or late in the day, with transfers timed around rush hours.
