About this tour

street food • culture • city vibes • budget-friendly

Explore the vibrant chaos and charm of Jakarta with this 9-night escape flying from London for just £284 return! This Southeast Asian megacity offers a buzzing street food scene, a mix of modern malls and colonial heritage, and a launchpad for adventures across Indonesia. With return flights via Saudi Arabia and time to explore the city (and maybe even a quick hop to nearby islands), this is a seriously good deal for budget-savvy travellers.

Voyara Insider’s personal note: Jakarta is the perfect base to do some island-hopping, with cheap flights available to some of the best beaches in the world. So if you want a perfectly-organised trip from someone who has already done all the research for you, contact us through The Itinerary Architect and we’ll make your dream trip happen!

Highlights

  • Wander Kota Tua, the old town with Dutch colonial buildings, quirky museums, and vintage vibes.
  • Take in the views from SKYE Bar, a rooftop spot with panoramic cityscapes and chilled cocktails.
  • Feast at Jalan Sabang, a street food haven famous for satay, nasi goreng, and late-night bites.
  • Hop over to the Thousand Islands for a peaceful beach day—boats leave from North Jakarta daily.
  • Shop (or just people-watch) at Grand Indonesia Mall, one of Southeast Asia’s largest shopping centres.

Jambuluwuk Thamrin Hotel (4*)

This upscale hotel is centrally located, offering incredible facilities, comfortable rooms and easy access to Jakarta's main attractions at an incredible price.

  • Access to a sauna, fitness centre, terrace, and outdoor swimming pool.
  • 7-minute walk from Sarinah, less than 1km from Grand Indonesia.
  • On-site restaurant with live music.
  • A fabulous 8.4/10 rating on Booking.com, with guests praising its staff (9.4), location (9.0) and comfort (8.8).

The deluxe room is £33 per night (£233 total for 2 people, 7 nights) on Booking.com (click here), which shows how well priced this city is.

Voyara's Insider Tip: We strongly recommend being part of Booking.com's Genius programme. It is completely free, and in the majority of cases you get a discount (the more stays you book, the larger the discount). For this deal, it brings our price down to £212 total (£30/night), which makes this deal even better. We're Level 3 Genius members, so the discount is likely to be larger, but even if you've never booked before, it will most likely give you around 10% off. Any discount is a good deal!

Voyara's Recommended Experiences:

  • Explore the Thousand Islands (Kepulauan Seribu) for a day trip filled with snorkelling, white sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters—only 1–2 hours by boat from Jakarta.
  • Visit the Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, and marvel at its stunning modernist architecture.
  • Take a cultural stroll through Glodok, Jakarta’s Chinatown, full of temples, street eats, and buzzing market energy.

Voyara's Local Insights:

  • Use the TransJakarta bus system for an ultra-cheap way to get around—fares start from just 3,500 IDR (~£0.18) and the bus lanes often bypass traffic.
  • Skip pricey taxis—use Grab or Gojek (local ride-hailing apps) for cheap rides and even food delivery straight to your hotel.
  • Avoid peak sightseeing times (11am–2pm) at major attractions to beat both the crowds and the heat—early mornings are your best friend.

Voyara-approved Restaurants & Cafés

  • Warung MJS is a hidden gem serving Javanese food with lush garden vibes—don’t miss the Ayam Penyet (smashed fried chicken).
  • Sate Khas Senayan is a go-to for traditional Indonesian satay and nasi campur—local flavour done right.
  • Kopi Soe is a modern local coffee chain with excellent iced kopi susu (Indonesian-style milk coffee)—affordable and everywhere.

Sometimes the best way of seeing a city's main attractions is doing it through booked tours and activities. We recommend you book these through Viator.com (4.3 stars on Trustpilot); we've used them countless times and they've never disappointed.
