Jakarta

Although Jakarta is not known as a popular tourist destination, this enormous metropolitan city has much to offer. Home to more than 300 cultural groups, Jakarta is the main gateway to the different regions in the Indonesian archipelago. Beautiful historic buildings within Jakarta's “Old City” (Kota) area hints to Indonesia's rich past, while Jakarta's large museums are evidence of it. Jakarta's dynamic Chinatown also sports hundreds of restaurants and bars, some of which are, arguably, the largest in Southeast Asia. The enormous shopping malls generously scattered all over the city grounds are hardly something to scoff at, either.
