A tour of the best things to do in a weekend in Jakarta, Indonesia. This tour includes monuments, museums, and a fair bit of walking. You will also be taking the tram, so be ready to get into the thick of it.

While Jakarta doesn't have tons of things for families with kids there are some great theme parks where the kids will have a blast. In particular, Taman Mini Park and Dunia Fantasi are very popular theme parks and are great places forparents with young children.

There are no shortage of free places to stroll, sightsee, and enjoy the history of Jakarta. The old port of Batavia, Jakarta's Chinatown, and the bird market are just a few of the many things you can see for free in Jakarta.

The Sunda Kelapa Port and Old Harbour area are often missed by visitors. This is the home to the worlds last wind powered sailing trade fleet and the harbour itself is busy with trade from the nearby islands. This is the gateway to the Kepulauan Seribu (1000 islands).

Bogor is considered a suburb of Jakarta, but is more like going to a different world. Botanical gardens, huge herds of tiny deer, and the peace and calm that you never find in Jakarta.
