Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and the most populous city in Southeast Asia. Kota Tua in the north survives with squares and buildings from the Dutch colonial period, and heading south the city turns to glass towers and large malls. The Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, shares a square with the cathedral facing it. Turkish Airlines flies direct from Istanbul, a flight of about 11 hours 15 minutes. Traffic is heavy, so it pays to plan a visit district by district.
