Shopping in Jakarta
It is advisable to allow for extra baggage to return home when visiting, since shopping in Jakarta can be very addictive. There are a lot of shopping malls around the city. There are also markets and shopping centers where you can get items at wholesale prices. You can also bargain for a cheaper price in these stores. Duty free shops are also located near the airport, so foreigners who want to give imported items to the locals can instead buy from the duty free shops instead of bringing items all the way from the US or Europe. Here are some of the shopping centers and markets that may interest you:
- Grand Indonesia
- Pondok Indah Mall
- Mal Kelapa Gading
- Wholesale Trade Center
- Pasar Pagi Mangga
