Mega city Jakarta, the Indonesian capital of 10 million. A city that spreads out far and wide, dynamic, and bustling with life. It\u2019s one of the world’s great cities, a mix of the modern with a rich heritage, a place to be explored.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spend time in Jakarta and it’ll play with your emotions and your senses. One minute you\u2019ll be by a busy highway, knowing you are in a large finance and trading hub. The next you\u2019re down a small side street getting the local vibes. One minute its glass fronted high rises, the next a slum area. It\u2019s a city that\u2019ll play with your mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find that Jakarta is not a classic, colourful painting, unlike some major cities of the world, but its beauty comes underneath, so, without further ado, let\u2019s explore<\/a> and try to take in Jakarta and its surrounding regions in 3 Days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On day 1, we\u2019ll explore the city\u2019s major attractions. The places that are must visits. There are a few of note from palaces to the national museum. First up, we head for The Merdeka Palace<\/a>. <\/strong>The President of Indonesia lives here and has Dutch architecture influences. There\u2019s also Merdeka Square<\/strong>, Jakarta\u2019s centre. It\u2019s the place for a stroll and to soak it all up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it\u2019s onto The National Museum<\/strong>, the pride of Jakarta. Here you\u2019ll get all the insight you need into Indonesia\u2019s history. After a look around it’s onto two important religious buildings, the Istiqlal Mosque<\/strong> and Jakarta Cathedral<\/strong>. They are across from each other, so perfect to explore them both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the day starts to say it’s goodbyes, it’s time for a little retail therapy and an evening out. Most of the upscale hotels are found in the central zone, where you\u2019ll also find prestigious shopping malls. Shop a little and enjoy food and drink in a bar. Should be plenty there to keep you busy during the evening<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After all that cultural touring, today is all about enjoying some thrills, and getting close with nature. We\u2019re heading for the theme parks, and Ancol Dreamland <\/strong>is the place to go. There\u2019s Fantasy World with its 40 rides and attractions. You can go into the marine world at SeaWorld<\/strong> or if you want to splash around yourself, there\u2019s Atlantis Water Adventure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could spend a week here; such is the choice available! There\u2019s the Ecopark<\/strong> for nature lovers, and Ocean Dream<\/strong> features dolphin and sea lion shows, among other entertaining features. Faunaland <\/strong>(which is a zoo) offers more entertainment in its 5-hectares of land and water. Top choices, so it\u2019s a case of picking what suits your needs, which may be all of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Day 3 it\u2019s worth taking a trip out of town and exploring the region. There are hot spring areas and even the famous Tangkuban Perahu Crater<\/strong>. This is a day to soothe those aching limbs after the intensity of the city and the thrills of the theme parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bali may be people\u2019s first choice of Indonesian destinations, and that\u2019s perfectly fine. Add in Jakarta, if you can, and you have the contrast. This mega city is worth a few days of exploring, don\u2019t you reckon?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
