💰 How far does your money go?
A plate of nasi goreng from a street vendor costs you around €1, less than the deposit on your bike lock. A full meal at a local warung, rice, protein, vegetables and a drink, comes to €1.50-€3. A cold Bintang beer runs about €1.50, a fraction of what you'd pay on a terrace back home.
☀️ The Weather
Jakarta stays hot and steady all year, highs around 30-33°C and lows rarely under 24°C. Late August through October is the driest stretch, less rain, more sun, ideal for wandering the old town on foot. November through February is wet season, expect heavy afternoon downpours but still plenty of warmth in between.

🎯 What to do
Jakarta runs on contrast: colonial streets one block, malls the next.
Wander Kota Tua — Jakarta's Old Town, Dutch colonial buildings, museums and street performers around a cobbled square.
Watch the sunset from SKYE Bar — Rooftop views over the entire skyline, one of the best ways to end a day in the city.
Eat your way through Glodok — Jakarta's Chinatown, packed with street food stalls and some of the best cheap eats in the city.
Take the ferry to the Thousand Islands — Kepulauan Seribu, a cluster of small islands off the coast with white sand and clear water, less than an hour from the mainland.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Jakarta is the gateway into the rest of Indonesia, not the final stop.
Yogyakarta — Borobudur and Prambanan temples, one hour away by domestic flight from Jakarta.
Bandung — Cooler mountain air and colonial architecture, around three hours by train.
Bali — Beaches, rice terraces and nightlife, roughly ninety minutes by domestic flight.
Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Islands) — Island-hopping without leaving the greater Jakarta area, reachable by ferry.
