About JAKARTA

Jakarta or Batavia the Special Capital Territory of Jakarta is the capital and largest city of Indonesia. Located on the northwest coast of Java, it has an area of 661 square kilometres (255 sq mi) and a 2010 census count population of 9,580,000. Jakarta is the country's economic, cultural and political centre. It is the most populous city in Indonesia and in Southeast Asia, and is the tenth-largest city in the world. The urban area, Jabodetabek, is the second largest in the world. Jakarta is listed as a global city in the 2008 Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC) research.The city's name is derived from the Old Javanese word "Jayakarta" which translates as "victorious deed", "complete act", or "complete victory".

       Established in the 4th century, the city became an important trading

       port for the Kingdom of  Sunda. It grew as the capital of the colonial

       Dutch East Indies. It was made capital of Indonesia when 

       the country became independent after World War II. It was formerly

      known as Sunda Kelapa (397–1527), Jayakarta (1527–1619), Batavia

      (1619–1942), and Djakarta (1942–1972). 

               Jakarta is the beating heart of Indonesia, the archipelago in a nutshell, the sprawling and smoggy capital of Indonesia.The historic old town of Batavia (Kota) is like a time warp and brings to life the city’s  colonial roots, while a clutch of excellent museums help with interpretation of this rich history. Gado-gado, kerak telor are traditional food from Jakarta. There is no specific souvenirs from Jakarta. Many tourist like to shop in Mangga Dua and Tanah Abang to buy clothes.
