Information & Tips for Indonesia
Indonesia offers diverse attractions, from the temples of Bali and Yogyakarta to the beaches of Lombok and the cultural hub of Jakarta. The local currency is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR), and cash is widely used, although credit cards are accepted in larger establishments. Prices are generally affordable, though tourist hotspots like Bali can be more expensive. The weather is tropical, with a rainy season from November to March and dry, sunny conditions from April to October, making the latter a popular time to visit.
Indonesia’s transport infrastructure varies by region. In major cities like Jakarta and Bali, traffic can be heavy, and public transport options are limited, although ride-hailing apps like Gojek and Grab are widely used. Within cities, buses, taxis, and motorcycles are common, but they can be slow due to congestion. For intercity travel, domestic flights are the most efficient way to cover long distances, while trains and buses are available but slower and less comfortable. Travel can be more challenging in rural areas, where transportation options may be limited.
