With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Bogor, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Bogor Botanical Garden, Botani Square and The Jungle Waterpark. Locals are also likely to point you toward Jakarta, 50 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Blok M Square. (But we’d also recommend Grand Indonesia and Thamrin City Shopping Mall.)
