Good to know before you go
The currency is the Indonesian rupiah and Bahasa Indonesia is the language, with English used in tourism. Getting around, the shiny new MRT and commuter trains are handy on their routes, but the network is limited, so most people lean on ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek, which also do quick motorbike rides through the traffic. A rental car is not worth the stress, so always allow extra travel time.
