I personally would recommend to visit Bali or Ubud if you haven't visited in the past. However, if you want to visit Jakarta for any personal reason, you need to visit

below places:

1) National Museum

It is an archeological, historical, ethnological, and geographical museum. When you see it at first time, you will be convinced that it is worth to visit. It is also

well known as Elephant Building because of the elephant statue there.

2) Taman Mini Indonesia Indah

It is short form is TMII. It is located in the eastern part of the city and you will learn Indonesian Culture.

3) The Istiqlal Mosque and The Catholic Cathedral

Istiqlal is the largest mosque in Indonesia. You could say it’s like the Taj Mahal stands opposite the Sagrada Familia.
