Hi all,

I know this is a boring question. But after reading thru the forum...I didnt really got the answers I wanted.

I am a 25 years old guy visiting Jakarta alone next month. I will be there for 3 days.

What are the must visit sightseeing places? Where are the good shopping places - landmark shopping centres, good market places etc.?

Can someone help me with this itineary?

PS. Museums, monuments or parks and similars are out for me.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you KiloFox, Astene and Sukalejong for your responses to my earlier questions. It looks like I am coming to visit Jakarta for a week soon. Except this time without the kids who I brought 4 years ago. No more Anchol water parks and pizza huts for a change. But I have a few questions: I have been reading about Block M in south Kakarta. Alot of nightlife for singles, is that correct? Are there good hotels there? Is the area safe for walking? How late do night spots remain open? Also, I read about police check points,copies of passports needed and so forth. What is this crab? Do the police check on you when you are walking or in a taxi? And if they do, why? Or is it just for the locals? And again, why? I never saw that four years back. Not even once. Or was I just lucky? Info on this and especially decent hotels in the district will be appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi,
I am going to be Jakarta for a week for work and I was wondering if there is any good diving nearby? It seems that Sepa and Kotok Islands are the best places to go. How do I get there and where do I stay. Any info will be useful.
Thank you
Kim

How do i get in touch with Mimi? I need transport for a group of 8 people from airport to hotel and sight seeing.

It's been about four years since I visited Jakarta. Long time, hasn't it? Have hotel prices gone up so much( I mean the 5 stars ones)? How's the traffic? Has it improved since? How is the road trip to the mountains nearby? Is it still too crowded on weekends? How are the people? Are they still as friendly and smiling as ever? And what about villas for rent in the mountains? Have the prices gone up? I am plannig to visit soon if responses are encouraging, of course. Waiting to hear your input!

Hi All,

I'll reach Jakarta at 1000pm++, after checkout I guess 1100pm. How to get accommodation at this particular hour in Central Jakarta or any budget accommodation around the Jakarta Airport Terminal 2?
Since Next day, I planning to visit Bandung, better to stay in Central Jakarta, take the train to Bandung? Or stay nearby Terminal 2, fetch a mini van to Bandung. Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

2) from Jakarta Center to Muara Karang
3) from Mall Taman Anggrek to Muara Karang

Thanks!

Hi, I might go to Jakarta for a business trip early next week.
Would like to find out quickly if there is sales in shopping centres in Jakarta now?

Specifically I like to shop in Metro - because the clothes there are stylish.
I also like the line Vesperine very much - is there sales / special promotion now?

Hope someone would be able to let me know.

Thank you!

I want to visit Indonesia this Mar or May, but i don't know which one is better Bandung or Jakarta. I heard Bandung is more beautiful, and 'cewek' are beautiful.
I want to see Indonesian daily lifestyle. moreover I like 'nightlife' and live band too. So can you help me to pick?

Don't mention me Bali, cause I'm Malaysian and Bali is just another Phuket for me.

Thanks

Hello all,

i'm having trouble looking for a place to stay in February. I need a room for two in South Jakarta, preferably near Senayan. It should be cheap enough as we're both students and are backpackers. We'll be there for three days and two nights to attend a concert in Senayan. Any recommendations?

Hope to get replies soon! And thanks!

Am a solo female traveller...60+... having 6 days to spend in Indonesia. Am arriving from Singapore into Jarkata, early March. Am hoping to find a reasonably cheap hotel in a safe locality. Any suggestion is welcome. Will 3 days be enough to look around before I fly out to Yogakarta? Someone suggested Dutta Garden Hotel...which seems a nice place to be. Where do I go for the next 2 days before leaving...or should I go somewhere else instead of Yogakarta? Am very confused. Need some time for shoping too. The beach, snorkelling, surfing is out. Please help!!

I will be going to jakarta for about 2 weeks tentatively in the month of february.

Could anyone here tell me any serviced apartments in jakarta (preferably south or central jakarta) which does offer weekly rate as well as in-room 24-hour internet broadband access though not A must.

Information in terms of Names of apartments, Weekly Rate, URL (if any), email/contacts etc are very much appreciated.

Thanking in advance.

I will be going to Jakarta in Jan 2008 to attend a Chinese wedding dinner at a 5-star hotel. Does anyone know roughly how much is the cost per table for a typical wedding dinner at a 5-star hotel in Jakarta?

This is because I want to make sure that my gift to the bride & groom will be at least on-par with the status of their wedding. Hope to get advice from VT members.

Regards & Happy New Year,
Victor
