Urban plan Jakarta Indonesia Fully Editable Vector Maps

 Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia, its political and economic center, and one of the world's largest megacities. It is located near the northwest coast of the island of Java, in the southern hemisphere. In terms of population, Jakarta's urban agglomeration ranks second in the world, with more than 30 million inhabitants.

History
Jakarta is a very old city and an ancient capital. The first discovered mention of the capital of the Indonesian kingdom of Tarumanagara at this place dates back to the IV century, although long before that there was a settlement of Sunda Kelapa (Sunda Kelapa, and today one of the districts and the old port is called). Later, the city lost the status of the capital (it was moved to another place). On June 22, 1527, the troops of the Sultanate of Demak expelled the Portuguese fleet from the city, and called it Jayakerta, which means "The City of Victory". This date is considered the official day of the foundation of the city and is celebrated as city Day. Later, the city was destroyed by Europeans and rebuilt under the new name Batavia, and only in 1942, the city was given back the name Jakarta, similar to the old name.

Jakarta is a noisy, polluted, and always stuck in traffic jams metropolis, like any other Asian capital, and at first, the glance is not very attractive to tourists. Nevertheless, Jakarta is often visited by tourists and travelers, since it is here that the main international airport of the island of Java is located, and most flights from other countries are operated here. Moreover, this is the cheapest way to get to Indonesia from all countries. Further from the capital, travelers go to more attractive places on the island of Java, such as the cultural capital of Yogyakarta, the world's largest Buddhist temple Borobudur and the ancient complex of temples Prambanan, numerous volcanoes, national parks, etc. Also by land and ferry from here, they get to Bali island or go to Sumatra Island. Jakarta also includes beach resorts in the nearby archipelago of "thousands of islands", but still they should be considered as an independent tourist destination, and not part of Jakarta since it is quite far and expensive to get to them.

Nevertheless, there is something to see and do in the capital itself, especially for experienced and inquisitive tourists. The city has a rich history of the colonial period, and a whole historic district of Kota has been preserved here, filled with ancient buildings built by Europeans. There is also its own Chinatown with traditional bustling life and trade narrow streets. You can spend more than one-day hiking in museums and galleries, getting acquainted with modern architectural sights.

New areas of the city are built up with modern world-class shopping centers, filled with modern discos. Yes, surprisingly enough, but Jakarta is one of the centers of the most modern electronic club life in Asia, the best DJs on the planet are constantly touring here. There is also a place for adult entertainment in the city: girls can be found in the red light district in Chinatown, as well as in the central area near large shopping malls and expensive hotels.

On some sites on the Internet, you can find an outdated description of the city, which indicates that Jakarta is completely unsuitable for life and that it is a dirty and gray anthill city. But over the past 5-10 years, the city has changed significantly. The capital is rapidly getting richer and transformed, new skyscrapers are being built, transport is developing. Today it can no longer be said that this is an inconvenient city for tourists: there are a lot of hotels here, even a kind of tourist area has appeared; there is inexpensive public transport (there is not only a metro yet, but it is being built); travel agencies, restaurants, cafes have appeared, and many modern shopping centers have opened. So far, there are still crumbling slums in some areas of the city, which contrast so much with modern skyscrapers, but they are gradually giving way to "licked" sterile quarters, and perhaps nothing will remain of them over the next 3-5 years. Therefore, if you want to see today's contrasting Jakarta, you'd better hurry up.

Jakarta is warm all year round, you can visit at any time. However, the rainy season runs from December to March. And if you can easily wait out the rains, although they are plentiful but short-term, then there is nothing you can do about floods. Heavy rains cause flooding of certain areas of the city, mainly the northern part, coastal areas. Even the highway to the airport is flooded, making it difficult, and sometimes even completely blocking transport links with it.

The most developed and modern area of Jakarta is the center. This is a very large area, in which, among other things, the tourist street Jalan Jaksa is located. But if a stop on this street does not attract you very much, you can pick up a hotel in another place in this area. The place around Jakarta Hotel Indonesia Circle is especially interesting, where there are many modern shopping centers and offices, chain restaurants of world brands, and transport is well developed.

Transport links between Jakarta and other cities of the country, as well as other states, are very developed. In general, it is cheaper to get to Indonesia from Russia and other countries through Jakarta, and from here you can continue your journey by land, water or air to any other islands and resorts in the country. You can get here from the cities of Java Island by buses, trains, and planes.

There are two international airports, the main of which is Soekarno–Hatta International Airport  IATA code - CGK. Most international flights arrive here. But there is another airport named after Halim Perdanakusuma (Halim Kuzuma, Halim Perdanakusuma International, IATA code - HLP), which serves flights of several Asian budget airlines, mainly local, including from Bali. When buying tickets, specify which one you are arriving in.

From Soekarno-Hatta International to the city center can be reached by taxi, buses, minivans, train. There is a lot of transport, it goes often, you can get there without problems with any budget, and in the near future, it will be possible to get by train. If you need to travel further around the island of Java immediately from the airport, then in most cases you will have to transfer to a train or bus in Jakarta, since transport does not go directly to other cities.

Railway communication on the island of Java is very well developed, you can get to Jakarta by train from all the most popular tourist cities. And where there are no trains, you can always take the railway to the nearest station and change to the bus. Long-distance trains here are clean and more or less modern, not at all like cheap commuter trains, so you can safely plan a trip for them. But keep in mind that there are no beds here. Whichever class you choose, even the most expensive, you will have to drive sitting down.

Jakarta is connected by frequent intercity bus service to all major cities of Java Island, to Sumatra Island (via ferry), and you can get here by bus even from Bali Island. In general, traveling by bus is a good option, and the cheapest, even cheaper than trains. But the difficulty is to find the right bus and the place of its departure.

There are several bus stations in Jakarta, and all of them are located far away on the outskirts of the city, and at different ends. Accordingly, you need to get there first to buy a ticket, and then to go. Therefore, it is best to buy tickets online or look for them in travel agencies on the street. With this option, you will pay a commission, but you will save a lot of time.

Getting around Jakarta is a real challenge for tourists, so prepare in advance for difficulties even at the stage of choosing a place for a hotel. Immediately try to choose such an arrangement in order to be as close as possible to the places and attractions you are interested in, or to transport hubs.

The city is considered one of the busiest transport in the world, traffic jams are everywhere and always, so take more time to travel, especially during rush hours from 16:30 to 20:00 on weekdays. If you need to get there the fastest, it's better to use a motorcycle taxi: it's twice as fast as cars, and twice as cheap.

There will be no problems with food in Jakarta by and large, there are plenty of places to eat. However, be careful and let your stomach get used to the very spicy Indonesian food for the first few days. You can eat in cafes and restaurants for tourists, food courts, from street stalls, and in inexpensive cafes for locals (called "warung" here). Everywhere the food is safe, including because of the abundance of pepper, although in inexpensive cafes the sanitary conditions are not the best. You can find the cuisine of any country, but Asian predominates Indonesian, Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese.

The most cost-effective and safe option is to eat in the food courts of large shopping centers. There are such food courts in almost every business complex and shopping center, their prices are not much higher than in street cafes for locals, but everything looks much cleaner and neater. You can eat traditional rice with egg or chicken and a soft drink in the food court for 30,000 rupees.

There are also chain restaurants of world brands - McDonald's, Burger King, KFC.
