Java

Ijen Plateau

by

The Ijen crater is equally spectacular at night and early morning, combining the unique blue fire with a revealing sunrise

Bromo Volcano

by

Java’s most famous volcano is also one of its main tourist sites, with all the conveniences that accompany this.

Surabaya

by

Surabaya, Indonesia’s 2nd or 3rd largest city, is actually a very pleasant place to visit.

Solo

by

Somewhat disappointing Royal City, with the sites closed for most of the time, and run down.

Ambarawa

by

Home to Indonesia’s railway museum, Ambarawa has little else to offer, especially if the museum is closed.

Bandungan & Gedong Songo

by

Uninteresting Bandungan is the base for an early-morning trip to the Hindu temples of Gedong Songo, which also provides a spectacular view of multiple volcanoes.

Dieng Plateau

by

Perhaps somewhat overrated Central Javanese tourist destination.

Wonosobo

by

Wonosobo may not be a tourist destination in its own right, yet, it is a very pleasant Central Javanese town perfectly suited for a stop-over on the way to the Dieng Plateau. And you could do worse, hanging around for another day.

Prambanan

by

The Prambaban temple complex invites extensive exploration, wandering from one set of buildings to the next.

Borobudur

by

The Borobudur is Indonesia’s most impressive structure, created some 1200 years ago.
