Many nationalities get 30-day visa on arrival or visa exemption. Check Indonesian embassy for your nationality's requirements.

Dry season (April-October) is best. July-August is peak season. Rainy season (November-March) has heavy rainfall but less crowded sites.

About 40 km away. Options: taxi/Grab (300,000 Rp), TransJogja bus + minibus, or organized tour. Travel time 1-1.5 hours.

Generally safe, lower crime rate than Jakarta. Watch for pickpockets on Malioboro Street. Use ride apps. Beware of unlicensed guides at temples.

For foreigners: 425,000-450,000 Rp adults, 250,000 children per temple. Combo ticket cheaper. Borobudur sunrise extra 600,000 Rp. Taman Sari only 10,000 Rp.

Travel Tips

Useful tips for visiting Yogyakarta

Book Borobudur sunrise tickets online in advance - limited spots that sell out fast.

Use Grab or Gojek exclusively for transport. Avoid street taxis and becak (rickshaws) - always agree price first.

Beware of 'helpful' guides at temples who demand money. Use only officially licensed guides from ticket counter.

Remove shoes when entering temples. Wear modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered). Sarongs available for borrowing.

Malioboro Street is best for shopping - bargain! Starting prices are often 3x the real price.

Try local dishes: Gudeg (jackfruit stew), Bakpia (sweet pastries), Sate Klathak (skewers).

Mount Merapi volcano is active. Check warnings before tours. Tours stop during heightened volcanic activity.
