3 days in Jakarta :)

Hi all :)

My friends and I will be traveling in Jakarta for 3 days (11-13 Jan)but we still don't know the area where we should stay.
Do you guys have any suggestion? (possibly in tourist area)

thanks !

Stay around Thamrin as that is close to Menteng, big malls, the busway and is lively enough.

But it is the middle of the rainy season and it floods there. But it is still a good part of the city to base yourself in

hi lukereg :)

Thank for your answer!
yeah I know it will be the rainy season there but still hopefully we can see some interesting places there :)

thanks agin :)

Agree, stay in Central as its easier access for you to go around.
Check out Kota Tua ( the old town) and National Monument ( Monas).
Hope you'll enjoy your stay!

You'll see very little in three days but the above are a good start.
From Ancol, you can take a boat to the thousand islands .. if you fancy a day on a beach.
A small boat can be hired for Rp3,000,000 for the full day so you can island hop.
As you walk along the harbour, opposite gate 7 (right hand side), you'll find a tiny office. The lady there knows her stuff so she's a good bet to try.

Thanks Mas Fred :)
I will consider about it.
Much appreciated !
