With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Jakarta, 50 miles away, has to offer. Blok M Square ought to be at the top of your list here. Grand Indonesia and Thamrin City Shopping Mall are must-see attractions too. Don’t forget about Bogor either! Just 50 miles away, Bogor Botanical Garden, Botani Square and The Jungle Waterpark are essential stops here.
