Experience
Jakarta isn’t just growing—it’s evolving. On this journey through the capital’s greenest corners, you’ll see how sustainability is being reimagined in one of the world’s busiest cities.

After lunch, ride the public Transjakarta bus to M Bloc Space—a revitalized building from a former state-owned money-printing corporation, turned creative village.
