Jalan Jaksa

Jalan Jaksa has long been known as Jakarta’s backpacker hub, and its jumble of antique and craft shops still reflects that bohemian spirit. It’s the place to browse for Indonesian and Chinese pottery, wood carvings, textiles, and colonial-style furniture. Be prepared to bargain, as haggling is part of the experience.
