The Place
Jakarta, Indonesia
City introduction

A ten-million-strong metropolis with unexpected colonial corners. Jakarta is Indonesia's frantic, fascinating capital: Kota Tua's Dutch-era squares, the Istiqlal Mosque's scale, glitzy malls above flooded streets, and the best satay and nasi goreng of any megacity. Most visitors transit through; the ones who stay a day or two find a city that rewards effort.
