The country has so much more to offer than a busy city full of traffic jams that most only stay in Jakarta for one or two nights. If you are not intimidated by a big city, you can visit some of Jakarta’s sights. Worthwhile are the historic city center, the historic harbor Sunda Kalapa and the various museums, such as the National Museum. See abbreviations for Jakarta.
