Travel to Jakarta Tips

Hi there ladies,

I have read some of your questions and see that mine doesnt fall within your general advice but here it goes.

My cousin and I will be visting Jakarta this November and not sure where the best part of the city is to book a hotel and still be close enough to the night life and other main attractions. Also can we use the train - is it realiable to get around?

Thanks
Nicoleen

We won't recommended train unless you want to go outside Jakarta.
We would recommend you to always use Blue bird taxi here (it's cheap and safe).

Our recommendation hotel for you to stay is better in South Jakarta area ...
