Jakarta is a huge, energetic city on the north coast of Java. Kota Tua, the old Dutch town of Batavia, has colonial buildings around Fatahillah Square, and the National Monument rises from the centre of Merdeka Square.

Visit the Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, and the Catholic cathedral that stands opposite it. Jakarta is also a gateway to the rest of Java and to the Thousand Islands.
