Jakarta is a large metropolitan city whose visitor sights are divided among distinct corridors. Kota Tua and Glodok form the historic northern cluster, Monas and major national institutions anchor Central Jakarta, and the modern business, shopping and cultural axis continues south through Menteng, Sudirman and Blok M. Use the integrated rail and bus network to connect clusters rather than planning a single cross-city walk.
