Jakarta is Indonesia's sprawling capital megacity, a fast-moving mix of Dutch colonial Kota Tua, national monuments, glass towers, huge malls, street-food alleys and a thriving nightlife and arts scene. It is the main gateway to Java and the launch point for the Thousand Islands and day trips to Bogor, Bandung and the Puncak highlands.
