Off-shore north from Jakarta's beach there are small islands called Kepulauan Seribu, the Thousand islands. They are part of the North Jakarta city government and a perfect spot to get away from city life. The variety of shopping, exciting nightlife, historical sites and wide selection of dining experiences make Jakarta a truly exciting and different experience.
