| Day 1 |
Jakarta, the bustling capital of Indonesia, is a city where tradition meets modernity in a dynamic urban setting. As the economic and cultural heart of the nation, Jakarta offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Start your exploration at the National Monument where you can take an elevator ride to the top for panoramic views of the city. This iconic landmark commemorates Indonesia's struggle for independence and is surrounded by the lush Merdeka Square, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Delve into the city’s past at the Old Town (Kota Tua), where Dutch colonial architecture beautifully contrasts with vibrant street markets and traditional food stalls. The Fatahillah Square here is particularly notable for its historical buildings, including the Jakarta History Museum, housed in the former Town Hall. The area also features the Maritime Museum and the Wayang Museum, which showcase Indonesia’s maritime history and traditional puppetry. For a taste of Jakarta's modern flair, head to Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), where you’ll find an array of high-end shopping malls, international restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife scene. The area is also home to Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, a multi-purpose stadium that hosts major sporting events and concerts. A fun fact about Jakarta is that it is one of the largest cities in the world by population, with over 10 million residents. Its unique blend of cultures and historical layers makes it a compelling destination for travelers looking to experience both the old and the new of Indonesia’s rich heritage. Whether exploring its historical sites or enjoying its modern attractions, Jakarta offers an unforgettable urban adventure. |

Situated in the hills 20km (13mi) north of Denpasar, Ubud is the serene cultural centre of Bali. Extensive development in recent years has meant that Ubud has engulfed a number of nearby villages, although these have retained their distinct identities. Head off in any direction and you're in for an interesting walk to a secluded craft hamlet, through the rice paddies or into the dense Monkey Forest, just south of the town centre.
