Jakarta is a land of push and pull. It’s not always consistent, and you sometimes you have to really dig to find what you’re looking for. But that makes your travel to Jakarta all the more rewarding.
After navigating the streets, solving chaotic directions, and pulling together your daily agenda, you might realize that the way to get the most of your Jakarta travel is to simply happen upon it, rather than trying to make it happen on your own. The heat and smog add to the crowded confusion of some streets, but beyond the madness, you absorb the true essence of Jakarta, and immediately don a sense of ease around its hustle.
Nightlife springs up in unexpected places, and cheery locals will be the first to direct you to the most hopping places. Most of them have risen from poverty – as Jakarta is mainly known for being a constant rags-to-riches story land. Because most have ascended within the ranks here, they happily create the diverse cultural melting pot that makes Jakarta what it is.
Populated by the Bataks from Sumatra, the Ambonese from Maluku, the Balinese, the Madurese and the Timorese, Jakarta maintains its reputation as an amazing microcosm of Indonesia’s spirit.
Jakarta climate
One thing’s for sure – this place it hot in many respects. No matter when you book your flight to Jakarta, you’ll be welcomed by nearly unrelenting heat, and temperatures that range from a cool 24 to a boiling 32 degrees C. The most rain falls in the winter months of January and February, so if you’re booking Jakarta flights then, be sure to pack an umbrella and galoshes. The driest days land in July and August, but these are also the days of scorching summer afternoons and blistering heat waves.
When is the best time to fly to Jakarta?
The sunny shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are the perfect times to book flights to Jakarta, since the heat is at a simmering mild level, and the wet months are still out of reach.
Peak Season:
Although most of the crowds have already caught on to the trend, the smartest times to book flights to Jakarta are either in spring or fall. In both seasons, the heat is either just cooling down, or not yet boiling. Afternoons are still pleasant, and rainfall isn’t quite so prevalent.
Off-peak Season:
Winter in Jakarta is a classic case of Catch 22: As soon as the heat lets up, the rain makes its way in. While winter months of January and February are known as the cooler months of the year, these months unfortunately welcome downpours – and plenty of them. If you can stand the rain though, budget-minded travellers will easily find cheap flights to Jakarta and deals on accommodations during these wet months.
Getting around Jakarta
There are a few ways to expand your Jakarta travel through public transportation. Four bus terminals (Kaliders, Kampung Rambutan, Pulo Gadung, and Lebak Bulus) run bus lines that trek throughout most of the city’s center. If you’re looking to get a little further from the city though, trains may be your best bet. At Gambir train station, near Merdeka Square, you can catch trains to Bogor, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Solo, Semarang and Surabaya. There are a few express trains, but you’ll need to buy your tickets in advance and show up early to make sure that you get a seat.
Metro mini buses also cruise the city limits, but are known for petty crime and pick pockets, so keep your valuables close, and travel in numbers if you can. If buses and trains don’t sound appealing, then there are plenty of car rental options to make your travel to Jakarta a little bit easier. Most agencies are relatively affordable and reliable.
You can also hail a taxi from the street, or wait in line at a stand. Most of them have meters, but some sneaky drivers “forget” to turn them on for tourists. If you notice that yours isn’t on, politely say the word “argo,” and the driver should remember. Tipping is always expected, and change is rarely given, so be sure to pay with small bills so you can spend only what you’re willing to part with.
