Question 1

How many days should I spend in Yogyakarta?

Accepted Answer

Most travellers find three to four days sufficient to visit Borobudur, Prambanan, the Kraton, and one or two day trips. A week allows for a more relaxed pace including beach excursions, craft workshops, and Merapi exploration.

Question 2

Is Yogyakarta safe for solo travellers?

Accepted Answer

Yogyakarta is generally considered one of the safer cities in Indonesia for solo and independent travellers, including solo women. Standard precautions apply at night and in crowded markets, particularly regarding bag security.

Question 3

What is the best way to get from Bali to Yogyakarta?

Accepted Answer

The quickest option is a direct flight from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali to Yogyakarta International Airport, with a flight time of approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. Overnight trains from Surabaya also connect to Yogyakarta for travellers who prefer a scenic overland route via Java.

Question 4

Do I need to book Borobudur sunrise tickets in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sunrise access to Borobudur is strictly capacity-controlled and tickets sell out days or weeks in advance, especially during the dry season from May to October. Booking through the official Borobudur Authority website is strongly recommended.

Question 5

What currency is used and are ATMs readily available?

Accepted Answer

The Indonesian Rupiah is the only currency used throughout the region. ATMs accepting Visa and Mastercard are widely available along Malioboro Street, near major hotels, and at the airport, though rural areas and beach destinations may have limited access to banking facilities.
