If you have a full British passport, you can take a flight to Jakarta and enter Indonesia under the country’s visa exemption scheme. That gives you permission to stay for a period of 30 days for the purposes of tourism only. In addition, your passport needs to have at least 6 months remaining validity from the time of your intended departure from Indonesia. British Overseas Passport holders, and nationals of other countries can easily check their particular entry requirements with any Indonesian consulate.
If you need to take prescription medications or drugs with you, make sure they’re in their original packaging and that you have a copy of the doctor’s prescription to present to Indonesian customs officials if asked. With those formalities taken care of, you can enter the country and look forward to a terrific holiday in Jakarta. Browse and book from our excellent selection of discount holidays and you’ll soon be on your way.
Jakarta has a tropical-monsoon climate. It’s warm all year with temperatures commonly reaching or exceeding 90°F. As a monsoonal country, Indonesia has a rainy season, which brings the temperatures down a little and freshens the air. Visitors to Jakarta tend to choose when to visit based on those factors. Die-hard sun worshippers aim for the hottest and driest months between May and October, while others prefer the slightly cooler and fresher months of the year. Whenever you choose to visit, there will still be plenty of sunny days, and you’ll never feel cold in Jakarta. That’s why we offer our first-rate package holidays to Jakarta all year round. Browse our fantastic flight and hotel deals and choose a time to visit that suits you.
No matter how long you stay in Jakarta, you can easily fill your time with things to do and see. Here are a few suggestions for places to visit, but you’ll also make interesting discoveries by yourself everywhere you travel in the city.

For an enjoyable day out away from the city, head for Carita Beach in Banten Province in the west of Java. It’s a beautiful family-friendly beach with a great natural environment and occasional local wildlife including long-tailed monkeys. The beach is also noted for good watersports facilities. Bagedur Beach also in the west of Java but south of Carita Beach is worth a visit, too. It’s a better choice if you prefer a calm beach with no roaring jet skis or other noisy watersports. Both beaches are around 60 to 70 miles from Jakarta.
Another great day out from the city can be had with a boat trip from Jakarta to tour the Thousand Islands archipelago. It’s actually only 108 islands, but its a fascinating trip to see many of the different islands and learn about their history and geography. Enjoy Jakarta and its fascinating surroundings on one of our acclaimed package holidays in Jakarta. Our discount holidays are unbeatable and you’ll find your trip to Jakarta not only enjoyable but also highly informative and educational.
Jakarta’s cuisine is known as Betawi cuisine after the Betawi inhabitants who were among the first migrants to Jakarta. Some Betawi dishes include Sayur Asem, comprising a variety of vegetables in tamarind sauce; laksa betawi, a soup coconut milk and spices; and nasi goreng kambing, which is made from fried rice, goat meat and ghee. There’s also a wider food range from all other Indonesian provinces available in Jakarta's restaurants in addition to Western food.
