Things to do in Halim Perdanakusuma Airport
Halim Perdanakusuma is Jakarta's secondary airport, serving budget carriers and charters east of the city. Jakarta's major cultural sites — the National Monument (Monas), Kota Tua (Old Batavia), and the National Museum — are 25–40 km away, but notorious city traffic can push journey times to 45–90 minutes each way. The food scene near Halim in East Jakarta is strong, with local warungs serving nasi goreng, soto Betawi, and fresh coconut water at street-side prices.
