Over the past decade, Jakarta has transformed into a true shopping hub, with sleek, air-conditioned malls springing up across the city. For souvenirs, look for traditional pieces such as ikat and batik textiles, Balinese wood carvings, or antique pottery, though it’s worth noting that some 'colonial antiques' are reproductions.

Jalan Jaksa has long been known as Jakarta’s backpacker hub, and its jumble of antique and craft shops still reflects that bohemian spirit.
