Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city, is a hub of activity for visitors who love history, art, architecture and food.

The city is slightly smaller than Malaysia’s tiniest state of Perlis, and is usually known for its epic traffic congestion. But beyond that and the city’s tall, modern buildings, however, there are lots of cultural activities and other interesting attractions that are worth checking out.
