When to go
The best time to visit Depok
Depok has no month that is both mild and dry by the measure used here. October is the warmest month, with average highs of 33 °C; January is the wettest, with about 390 mm of rain.
Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Depok: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP), about 17 km from the city centre in a straight line; Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK, 36 km) and Husein Sastranegara International Airport (BDO, 100 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
There is one main road from South Jakarta into Depok, Jalan Margonda Raya, which also passes the University of Indonesia campus. It is thus not hard to imagine that the road can be very crowded in the mornings and the evenings. Another way in is via the Jagorawi toll road that leads from Jakarta to Bogor. Just south of Jakarta, there is an exit to the short Cijago toll road that leads straight to the city centre of Depok. This toll road is planned to be extended westwards to South Tangerang.
Getting around
There are dozens of minibus (angkot) routes throughout Depok, with many of them connecting to South Tangerang and Jakarta. Angkots follow a fixed route, but there is no fixed schedule and there are no fixed stops. To get on, simply raise your hand. To get off, simply shout "Kiri!" to the driver, so he will pull over on the left (Indonesian: kiri) side of the road. The price of an angkot ride within the city is fixed at Rp.3,000. It is best to ask a local which angkot route to take, and how to recognise the location you want to get off.
