💰 How far does your money go?
A plate of nasi goreng from a street vendor costs around €1, and a full warung meal with rice, protein and a drink rarely tops €3. A local Bintang beer runs about €2, less than half of a caña on a Madrid terrace. A short taxi across the city barely dents a day's budget.
☀️ The Weather
Jakarta is hot and humid year round, and February is its wettest month, with highs of 31°C, lows of 23°C and rain on around 14 days. March marks the tail end of the rainy season, with conditions gradually drying out but still warm and sticky. Sea temperatures sit around 28°C, so pack a light rain jacket alongside the shorts and sun cream.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three bases to pick from, from budget to full luxury.
Holiday Inn Express Jakarta International Expo: 8.2/10 · From €22/night A reliable budget base with a pool, handy for getting around the city without overspending on the room.
Fairmont Jakarta: 8.9/10 · From €133/night Central rooms and the city's largest hotel pool, an easy base for both business and sightseeing days.
The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta Pacific Place: 9.2/10 · From €196/night Skyline views and a spa in the middle of the SCBD district, worth the splurge on a longer stay.
🎯 What to Do
Jakarta runs on street food by day and skyline bars by night.
Monas: The National Monument towers 132 metres over the city, with views out over Jakarta from the top.
Kota Tua: The old town's Dutch colonial buildings, museums and Fatahillah Square, best explored on foot.
Glodok food crawl: Chinatown's street food stalls, from noodles to century-old dumpling shops.
Museum MACAN: One of Southeast Asia's leading modern and contemporary art museums.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Jakarta is also the easiest gateway into the rest of Java and beyond.
Thousand Islands: An archipelago of beaches and snorkelling spots, 1-2 hours by speedboat from Ancol.
Bogor: Cooler air and the Bogor Botanical Gardens, 1-2 hours by car.
Bandung: Art, shopping and hill air, around 40 minutes on the Whoosh high-speed train.
Yogyakarta: Borobudur and Prambanan temples, about an hour by domestic flight.
At €484 return, this is one of the more affordable long-haul fares out of Spain this year. Fares like this don't sit around.
