Jakarta Indonesia

Jakarta, situated on the northwest of the island of Java, is the capital of Indonesia and the largest city in Southeast Asia. Jakarta is a massive city and one of the busiest and most energetic metropolises in the world, with plenty to offer, from historical and cultural sites, high-end shopping centres to traditional markets, one of the best restaurant scenes in the region and a lively nightlife. Kota Tua Jakarta is also known as Old Jakarta or Old Batavia. Kota Tua is where the Dutch immigrants settled and established their seat of government. Buildings showcasing Dutch architecture still stand around the Fatahillah square, most of which function as museums. Kota Tua Jakarta is located north of the city centre of Jakarta. Walking is the best way to explore the historical sites. Cafe Batavia, which dates back to 1805, is a famous restaurant with Baroque decor overlooking Fatahillah Square. Off-shore north from Jakarta's beach there are small islands called Kepulauan Seribu, the Thousand islands. They are part of the North Jakarta city government and a perfect spot to escape from city life. The variety of shopping, exciting nightlife, historical sites and wide selection of dining experiences make Jakarta a truly exciting and unique experience.
