Travel Guide
Located on the northern coast of West Java, Jakarta is the stunning and colourful capital city of the Republic of Indonesia. Not satisfied with being the centre of government, commerce and industry, it is also a wonderful melange of both modern and traditional culture with a population so ethnically diverse, the city is like an enormous cultural patchwork - hence the national motto: "Unity in Diversity". Jakarta is the central hub of the entire country - anything worth happening, happens here, and in the last few years the city has considerably expanded its facilities for visitors with an increase in multi-star luxury hotels, fine restaurants, exciting nightlife, modern shopping centres and large tourist attractions.
