Jayapura is the capital and largest city of the province of Papua, Indonesia. It is situated on the island of New Guinea. Jayapura is built on a slope overlooking the bay. The city has also been known as Hollandia, Kota Baru, and even Sukarnopura. Among ethnic Papuans, it is also known as Port Numbai — the City of Victory.
Non-air-conditioned transportation brings you to the Loka Budaya Museum. View a fascinating range of Papuan artifacts, including a fine collection of Asmat carvings and handicrafts from several regions. The historical photos are utterly fascinating, and the musical instruments will keep you guessing.
Pause for photos at the Buddhist Temple, with a breathtaking view of Jayapura's iconic red bridge.
The Hamadi central market may be the perfect place for souvenir hunting. Make the most of this opportunity to interact with local people selling handicrafts and those going about their daily lives. Stalls selling Papuan souvenirs line the roadside.
