Bogor
In colonial times, Bogor was an important Dutch hill station and the favorite retreat for Dutch governors-general. Almost 200 years ago, Raffles judged it ''a romantic little village'', though these days it''s really just an outer suburb of Jakarta. Bogor''s main attraction is its world-class botanical gardens (Kebun Raya) - a vast expanse of greenery in the middle of the city. Covering about 80 hectares (200 acres) - and originally used for cash-crops such as tobacco and tea - the gardens now contain over 15,000 species of trees and plants, including 400 palm species and, apparently, 3000 orchid varieties (though these are not open to the public). The grounds also play host to the huge Presidential Palace, which now houses Soekarno''s art collection (admission only by prior arrangement), and the motley exhibits of the Zoological Museum. Along with organised tour groups, the gardens are well serviced by train or bus from central Jakarta.

The ultimate circuit track of Indonesia. Many various events of motorsport you can find here. From road racing, touring, rallying 'till drag bike and drag racing.
