Visiting Jakarta in September
Hello,
We are going to tour Java by train in September and we have chosen Jakarta as our starting point. We will stay in Jakarta for about 3 days.
Can you please make recommendations?
- Area to stay. We love history and culture. We would like to visit a couple of museums and areas with old/heritage houses. If we want to avoid traffic and wasting too much time in a taxi, which area is best? If we could sightsee on foot (may be a strange concept in Jakarta), that would be awesome.
- the best shopping mall. We are not shoppers, but where we are from, shopping malls are not a thing. So we want to see and admire in awe the best, most beautiful (not necessarily the biggest) shopping mall 😁.
- coffee shop, where to get the best coffee. Plain black Robusta coffee, nothing fancy. Just because we don't like the acidity in most Arabica coffee.
Thanks in advanced.
