Travels Home & Abroad | May-June 2025 Edition | NOW! Jakarta

Ahead of the mid-year holidays, this edition of NOW! Jakarta is filled with travel inspiration, both here in Indonesia and abroad. We take you on a road trip, go island hopping, and hear travel tales from the community.

We begin with an epic journey across Java, pinpointing 10 destinations on the route from Jakarta to Banyuwangi on a one-of-a-kind road trip. Then we go to a Sumatran temple where culinary heritage thrives. Finally, we take to the high seas, taking a look inside some of Indonesia’s most luxurious liveaboards, and venture around the Togean Islands. Also, ambassadors share some of their most memorable travel stories across the archipelago. Finally, we head to Osaka for World Expo 2025.

You’ll also find our great Jakarta stories: inside a traditional medicine shop in Glodok, a history of literature, Indonesian artist interviews and much more.
