The 8 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Jakarta, Java

March 9, 2022 Jasper Kershner

Chaotic, crowded, and cosmopolitan, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a city of contrasts. Home to millions of people from around the world, the city is a mixture of languages and cultures, poverty and wealth. The city boasts some of the best nightlife in Asia and some of the worst traffic. Every holiday, the locals escape the pollution and the crowds to enjoy relaxing diversions like Ancol Dreamland, an amusement area featuring water parks, beaches, golf courses, and a SeaWorld.

Candra Naya Building

An interesting area near Jakarta's old town filled with Dutch Colonial buildings and historic architecture.

Glad to see it preserved well by Indonesian government and people. This unique building has a lot of history with nice fish pool in and located in the middle of giant building around chinatown of Jakarta.

Flea Market at Jalan Surabaya

The Jalan Surabaya market is the place to find antiques, rare finds, and other oddities.

Reviewed By stanleisarwonohamzah

But I found more than what I expect. You can find all sorts of late 19th and early 20th century items, from framed mirror, gramophone, LP, laser discs, ceramics plates, old coins and stamps, furnitures, even luggages. But visitor that plan to buy things, better be equipped with the skill to haggle and bargain. It certainly fun for me.

Sepa Island

Reviewed By sherasam

Beautiful island! Clear blue water all around and white sandy beaches. It’s so sad I only stumbled upon this island instead of staying there. Part of the island is occupied by a resort but the rest of it is empty. Spent the whole day reading, doing yoga etc. Will definitely be back. Entrance fee of 100 or 200 rupiah I can’t remember.
