Jakarta
A national monument you can ride an elevator up for a view over a city of over ten million, an old town of Dutch colonial buildings slowly being restored, and a street food scene that never quite stops, whatever the hour.
The best time to visit Jakarta is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 32°C (89°F). Local time there is 03:55 (UTC+7).
