Jakarta is a vast metropolis where traffic shapes daily life, so where you sleep matters more than in most cities. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Jakarta are popular with business travellers, expatriates on assignment and families, because they combine hotel services with a kitchen, laundry and enough space to live in for weeks rather than days. Choosing one near your office or an MRT station can save hours each week.

Central Jakarta is the seat of government and finance, around the Monas national monument and Merdeka Square. Leafy Menteng is known for its parks, including Taman Suropati, and traditional restaurants, while Jalan Thamrin and the Hotel Indonesia roundabout have large malls and the northern end of the MRT.
Stays in or near Menteng and Thamrin
The Sudirman corridor, now lined with wide pavements, is the main business street, served by the MRT and TransJakarta. Senayan has the sports complex built for the 1962 Asian Games, the Istora badminton arena and major malls reachable by MRT.

Kuningan is a business district along Jalan HR Rasuna Said, home to many embassies and office towers. Its main roads have pavements that make short walks practical, and it is a common base for people on longer work assignments.

In South Jakarta, Kemang is popular with expatriates and locals for its cafés, restaurants and bars, and is one of the better places in the city for an evening walk. Blok M, with its Little Tokyo cluster of Japanese restaurants, is nearby.
The old Dutch colonial centre of Batavia, in the north, is a pedestrian-friendly square ringed by colonial buildings, with Glodok, Jakarta's Chinatown, close by for temples and street food. An MRT extension towards Kota is under construction.
Soekarno–Hatta International Airport is about 20 km north-west of the city in Tangerang. The airport rail link, run by KAI Commuter, stops at BNI City (next to the Sudirman business district) and ends at Manggarai, taking about 46 minutes to BNI City. DAMRI buses run to major transport hubs, and the smaller Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in East Jakarta handles some domestic flights.
The Jakarta MRT runs from Lebak Bulus in the south to Bundaran HI on Thamrin, roughly every five minutes at peak times and from about 5am to midnight; you can pay with a contactless bank card. TransJakarta buses run on dedicated lanes across the city, with stations in the middle of main roads. Ticketing is integrated, so one prepaid card works across trains and buses. Taxis and ride-hailing are widely used; Blue Bird is the best-known metered taxi company.
Buy a bank-issued prepaid card such as e-money, Flazz or JakCard from Alfamart or Indomaret convenience stores; it pays for trains, TransJakarta, toll roads and many shops. Choose an apartment within walking distance of an MRT or TransJakarta station if you can, since rush-hour traffic is slow.
On Sunday mornings, Car Free Day closes Jalan Sudirman and Thamrin to motor traffic, apart from TransJakarta, and locals turn out to walk, run and cycle. In the rainy season, floods can bring traffic to a standstill in some areas, though main roads usually clear within hours.
Jakarta is hot and humid all year, averaging around 28°C. The rainy season peaks from November to March, when floods and traffic jams are common, while June to August is the driest period, with transitional months in between.
The Java Jazz Festival takes place over three days, at the end of May in recent years; the Indonesia Masters badminton tournament fills Istora Senayan in January and the Indonesia Open in early June. Car Free Day runs every Sunday morning all year.
Most visitors stay in the central and southern districts, between the government quarter around Monas and the business corridors of Sudirman, Thamrin and Kuningan.

Menteng and Thamrin are best for a central base, Sudirman and Kuningan for business travel, and Kemang for restaurants and nightlife. Staying close to the MRT reduces time spent in traffic.

Contactless bank cards work on the Jakarta MRT. For other trains and TransJakarta buses, use a prepaid card such as e-money, Flazz or JakCard, sold at convenience stores.
