Too bad there are so many games that haven't been opened yet, for the show, the opening hours clash with other shows, so you have to be smart in managing the time so that all the facilities can be enjoyed. even though I came in the morning, but the time to explore all seemed very limited. don't forget to bring an umbrella, jacket or something else to anticipate the rain.

It is a must ho place and you should keep it on bucket list. Apart from enchanting and ethereal beauty you can experience to see a variety of animals and birds. The best way to enjoy it at the fullest is to reach there by 8:30 and enjoy and avail everything that you can. Acc to my recommendation don’t miss cowboy show and the dolphin show. One thing that I really didn’t like was that food was very expansive 😉Other than that it is worth going place.

A zoo in bogor , very nice place to see the wild animal from near. Anyone can go and feed them from car. All the animals are open so it’s prohibited to walking here. The zoo is in very natural environment so it’s a high demand area in Indonesia. All the zoo authorities are very friendly and helpful. About 120 types of animal and many types of birds available here. Road inside of this safari is very good and each animal have their personal area. Open for all.

This is definitely worth a visit as a zoo and theme park and a great day out for the family or just on your own where you get to come up close to animals and feed them driving in your car around the safari area ( remember to buy carrots outside the zoo to feed the animals. ) and once you are finished with this you can take your kids around other animal attractions and shows and also a variety of rides. Definitely recommended. Just remember pack swimmers and a towel if you want to use the water park section.

This place is amazing. Since I live most of the time in Jakarta area, Taman Safari Indonesia is part of my history. My childhood was there. Nowadays, TSI serves my family especially my nephews. The feeding experience, becoming close to the animals especially the wild, and the giant panda are the most important things to do. Please welcome on the weekdays to maximize your experience.

The park is quite big and there is quite a lot of animals there. Before we reached the taman safari, we got to buy the carrots and bananas to feed some of the animals there. There is zebra, giraffe, monkeys, camels, lions, tigers, hippos and many other kinds of animal. During our trip there, we got a chance to go visiting the panda area. It’s quite big and we need to take to bus to reach there. We buy the tickets to the Taman safari online for weekdays and we entered through the special line for online booking. Maybe that’s why there is no line at all in there. We went there since the morning till the afternoon and unfortunately it’s raining on the day we went there. So, some of the animals is hiding and it’s a shame that there are quite a lot of places we can’t visit as we don’t have enough time.

It's been a long time since I came here. I was really surprised by the change. Especially the new place “Istana Panda Indonesia”, where there’s a Fat Lazy Panda and a charming one, Red Panda. I feel so delightful with the experience! Beside, There’s also have Sea Lions & Cowboy Performance that really something. I personally proud with their attention to detail. It was cold with enchanting view of the mountain. Like a trip overseas. Will definitely come back!

What an incredible place! You can literally travel all over Indonesia in one day. The houses, the museums, and the gardens are beautiful. It's a fantastic educational experience for both kids and adults. I highly recommend taking the cable car to get a bird's-eye view of the entire park, especially the miniature archipelago in the lake. Definitely a must-visit in Jakarta. We will be back for sure!

A nice, peaceful place to relax and explore Indonesian history. Very dated, best to hire a mode of transport to get around (fun!) or ride the cable car and buses. Cash is accepted, but limited change. Best on card. Grab there was easy from city centre. Buy tickets in advance makes it easier. I bought at car toll gate with Grab driver translating!

Renovation done well even there is still a lit of area should be improved especially cleanliness and maintenance. Toilet is clean but still need a lot of improvement in part of smells. In term of service has been increased very well, great job of Injourney and team. Restaurant also need to be improved in term of communication, menu, and availability of menu. In this moment I also want to appreciate our buggy driver mr Gilang that deliver us from birdpark to TIC, he has been bring us very well to TIC and even insult by another driver that so bad to start fight he can handle it well and keep smile.. Great job mr Gilang and please proceed the other driver regarding what bad happen nearby freshwater fish museum station at 25 Oct 25 around 4.35-4.40 PM. Overall very good but in journey need to keep do a lot of improvement to make it as one of world class tourism destination.

Lowkey one of the best date spots in. The city. I came on a sunday, there were traditional dance shows dance classes, shop to wear traditional clothes. The whole park is walkable, or u can take the tandems or e-scooters.

beautiful scenery and amazing nature. i loved the cable car, we were able to see the whole park and many traditional monuments of indonesia. the bird park had many varieties of bird species all were very well taken care of and clean. the most fun and astounding part of the experience was the water fountain show they had at night, very creative and futuristic way of story telling Indonesian folktales. and the water was really pretty and coordinated elegantly.

Lovely place, but really NOT MINI. While the entry ticket is affordable, when inside it is definitely suggested to rent electric scooter or similar to get around, which can be pricey. The perimeter of the park is about 5km. Anyways we had a lovely time!

Great place to have your morning exercises. Green area which only allowing zero-emission vehicle to enter, dedicated bicycle lane, and great air to breath. Worry-free if you don't have bicycle or forgot to bring one, there are bunch of bicycles, tandem bikes, antelopes, golf carts, and scooters to rent, start from Rp30.000. You can watch The Dancing Fountain every 10 AM and 7 PM, with special projectorised visual and drone show. A free-to-watch experience.

The mall is nice and big. Many outlets and complete. There are outdoor and indoor dining places too. It's just that during the day the outdoor place is quite hot. The car park is very spacious and the access road is also not narrow. Recommended mall in bekasi.

It was my first time visiting SMB, and the ambiance was great. However, this place charges a parking fee even if the driver only drops you off at the lobby. I spoke with an online car driver who was worried about asking passengers for extra cash, because picking up or dropping off at the lobby even for less than five minutes still incurs a parking fee. I was a bit taken aback, since in Jakarta drivers who pick up or drop off passengers at the lobby usually aren’t charged for parking.

good mall in bekasi, gold member parking always available anytime compare to kelapa gading mall that always full especially on weekends. so many event held in downtown area, various food here, place for hangout

first time visited this place, and it was such a huge mall at bekasi. lot of tenants and open space area. a great place to hangout on weekend.

New shop Opening , Megane Prince Eyewear shop from Hokkaido Japan. Friendly staffs and detail checking by Optometry. Selling house brang Clione, unbreakable frames and Charmant, gold plated , Made in Japan.

Biggest Mall Bekasi Area, good for shopping, and lot of food court, almost what you need available

Going here again after what seemed like more than half a year was a bit surprising considering i expected it to have a lot lf traffic inside the mall itself, still i can't deny that it's a fun experience

...this tourist area has an area of ​​35 Ha and is the largest thematic recreation park in Indonesia which has more than 36 rides and attractions. This area is divided into 5 (five) zones, namely Carnivalia, Tropicalia, Mysteria, Eksplora, and Downtown. JungleLand Adventure Theme Park has an area that can accommodate 30,000 people. JungleLand rides have advantages that other tourist attractions do not have, namely having the most rides and the first new rides in Indonesia: Air Race, Hydrolift, Boat Blaster and Disc'O.

Jungle land adventure theme park is located at Sentul City ($13/IDR195,000). This public theme park is an exhilarating destination, offering a diverse range of attractions for all ages with various types of foods and snacks. From thrilling rides to entertaining shows, the park provides a vibrant and enjoyable experience. The theme including Carousel, 45m-Ferris Wheel, happy swing, haunted house. There were extra-paid facilities such as electric golf cars ($2.6/IDR40,000) and electric car. I visited this park at public holiday in December 26 and not too crowded. The well-maintained grounds and friendly staff contribute to a memorable visit for families and adventure seekers alike.

Come with a managed expectation, a pretty low one. Not the best theme park, but just an okay. You're given a card each, to be used for any transaction inside. Some rides were closed. The ones opened, unsure if they're properly disinfected. The handle bars & seatings were smelly. There were few rides that aren't covered by the entrance fee. Not my best moment, ain't my cup of tea.

Family gathering 2025....Go To be The Transformers...

Luv it... It's small, but has two version of every ride: for kids and for adults. Though its hot and humid, but they provide enough chairs and trees... The toilet is clean with enough units to go to. And...even during high season, it is not crowded so its very convenient... Oiya, forget about going on the flume rides... Its not worth the wait..

Nice theme park and worth to visit. Love the zee force rides so much! It was scary but super fun, because you will be turned 360 degree for some time and being hanged up for a while. They have food court and shopping area which also beautifully decorated. They also have lots of benches and tree, so whenever you are tired, you can just take rest anywhere. Their haunted house was pretty scary, but worth to try if you dare. Make sure to check their website before going there, because sometime they give discount for the entrance ticket. Other wise, you can get their annual pass which is pretty much cheap if you will go there often. Recommended!

It's basically a mini version of Dufan, has fewer amounts of rides and at least some few food areas to have some rest and eat. In this place, it uses a card for to buy something or to gain access to one of the rides. You can top up the cards at the food court areas. Sadly though, you can only refund the remaining balance on the card starting from 1 PM. Overall, pretty okay place, though needs to be a bit more amusing.

Taman Bunga Nusantara offers a vast and well-maintained garden, making it an ideal place for family picnics. The park provides various facilities, including a sightseeing bus that takes visitors around, making it easier to explore the area without getting too tired. The flowers are meticulously arranged based on their region of origin, creating a visually pleasing experience. However, the variety of flowers is somewhat limited, which might not fully meet the expectations of those looking for a more diverse floral display. Initially, I imagined a breathtakingly vast flower field, but the landscape design here feels a bit monotonous. Another thing to consider is its location, which is quite far from the city center. While this adds to the tranquility, it also means extra travel time. In terms of pricing, the entrance fee varies for local and international tourists, with an additional charge for the sightseeing bus. However, considering the facilities and the overall experience, the pricing is quite fair. Overall, it’s a beautiful and serene place to visit, though it may not be as breathtaking as I initially expected. 8.5/10 Would recommend for a relaxing family trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently visited this garden and was absolutely blown away. It’s big, spacious, and beautifully maintained—a true oasis of peace and greenery. The paths are wide and easy to walk, the lawns are immaculately clean, and every corner offers something lovely to look at, from blooming flowers to tall, graceful trees. What really impressed me was how well-kept everything is. You can tell a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining the space. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, a picnic, or just to sit and enjoy the fresh air. Whether you’re a plant lover, a photographer, or just someone who appreciates a calm, tidy outdoor space, this garden is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

One of the classic park mostly displayed with variety of Flowers. We'll kept park. Neat & clean environment & you will be mesmerized to see such beautiful flowers. This park is in Indonesia which itself a beautiful country with amazing landscape.

seriously tho, this place is so pretty, quiet, and lots to explore. but I had to admit there’s many rooms for improvement because many attractions are not well maintained, it kinda looks abandoned and dirty somehow. overall if you just wanna enjoy the view, trees, many varieties of flowers and fresh air, this place is ‘yes’ place to go

Pet needed to be carried at all time, great garden, theres vehicles to be rented

Great place to be and see gardens from different places. No problem to take our photo cameras with us.

If you’re looking to enjoy a picnic surrounded by beautiful flowers, this place is a great option for a family outing. In addition to the scenic views, you can also explore a variety of games and attractions in the “Alam Imajinasi” area. However, it's worth noting that many of the games are currently not in the best condition. Hopefully, they’ll be repaired and improved soon.

Tangkuban Perahu is a must-visit destination near Bandung, known for its breathtaking volcanic crater views and cool mountain air. Walking around the crater rim is an unforgettable experience, especially with the smell of sulfur and the dramatic landscape. The area is clean, well-maintained, and offers plenty of local stalls selling snacks and souvenirs. Perfect spot for nature lovers and those seeking a mix of beauty and legend!

Loved this place. Entry fee quite expensive for foreigners…. Over 300k per person. But still worth this visit. No walking required for the main rim.

A truly unique experience. You can see an active volcano, soak your feet in a sulfur hot spring, and even boil an egg and eat it.

(Australian tourist review) Highly recommend going, was really worth it. I really enjoyed my time here. Transport and logistics things that might help other travellers: - Can totally grab to and from the place, when leaving, you might have to wait 10-15 minutes for a grab driver to accept your request, but I was able to leave a-okay - entry ticket cost was 200,000 (I went on weekday) just to get to the crater at the top - you can totally do the walk up to the crater at the top, takes around 30-40 minutes, I found it quite a nice walk, just follow the road. No need to get a car or a motorbike up - once you’re at the top, enjoy the sights. If you’re keen, go to the very far right, and they provide a tour to the back of the crater. This side has unimpeded views, and I honestly thought it was very worth it. It was 50,000 per person, I bumped into some French travellers who also wanted to do it, we all paid 50,000 each. (Will attach photos of the differences) - the hawkers/peddlers are also happy to help you take photos if you ask nicely, recommend confirming with them that there is no charge before you ask however - I really enjoyed the Domas Crater too, I thought it was really nice. I however had to pay 150,000 for a guide to bring me down to Domas crater. I originally thought this was a scam (halfway up as you’re climbing, you’ll be asked if you want to go. You can also go from the top as well). I till now, don’t know if this was a scam or not. When I asked at the tourist information desk at the top crater, she insisted I had to take a guide. However, the path is relatively easy to find, and I trust that one could easily make their way down their themselves - bring some tissues/towel to wipe your feet off after soaking your feet at the Domas crater foot springs - I didn’t buy a mask on the way in, I didn’t feel a need for it. A lot of the hawkers and peddlers at the top of the crater weren’t wearing one either. - at the top crater, there are stores to buy food and water if you forget to buy/bring

Tangkuban Perahu is a must-visit spot in West Java. It’s packed with natural beauty and local legends that make it a unique and iconic destination in Lembang. The entrance fee is different on weekdays and weekends — we paid IDR 40k per person. There’s a big parking area below, and then you’re taken up around 5 km to the crater area. Restaurants, toilets, and prayer facilities are all available too.

I would give this an easy 5 stars if not for the local people and seller trying to force their way to sell and talk with you, for safety reasons and especially with children I cannot recommend this beyond its natural beauty and breath taking view, you may come here at your own risk with friends, solely came here to the photo taking place and didnt go for the hike

⸻ Be cautious of overly friendly tour guides — you may be persuaded into purchasing souvenirs worth Rp20,000 for as much as Rp300,000. Stay alert and always verify prices beforehand.

1. We arrived quite late at night, but the check-in queue was still long, which took up quite a bit of time. Especially since we were already quite tired after a long journey. 2. After check-in, we decided to have dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant was quite crowded at the time because of a group. What we found lacking was the absence of a separator between the smoking and non-smoking areas, so the smoke was quite disruptive to our meal, especially since we had a toddler with us. As for the food, we admit it was quite delicious, although the serving time was rather long. 3. Our room was in a bungalow, located almost at the very back. However, from 7 PM to 1 AM, there was a stage with loud singing, and it resumed again at 5 AM. It seriously disrupted our rest time.

Good service n also alots of recreation for the family..3days 2 night wasnt enough stayed here..

We stayed at the campsite in a rented tent. That was awesome. Beautiful place, clean, green, spectacular nature surrounds you . The pools are nice, the hottest water I have ever sat in. Rivertubing was nice, not too risky for me, but ok. When we were there, the big slide was not working, minus. Unfortunately due to the big area, a lot of walking or waiting for the shuttle is necessary. I would change the system with activating the entry card. If you want to enter a certain pool, you need to go/ shuttle to the main reception desk to activate your card. That takes everytime at least 30min. Thats weird. Book it on the card as you enter an area, and as you check out, you pay what you used, done. Breakfast was also great. All in all you can have a good time.

A bit outdated, but clean and comes with perks like free access to the hot springs. Rooms with connecting doors are a bit noisy, but they all quieted down before bedtime.

The reception staff is the worst. There was a long line of people waiting but they are so laid back. Their check in time is at 2pm, check out at 11am. We arrived at 14.10. We still need to wait almost an hour. Lobby was so crowded, full of people. We do not pay cheaply for a 3 star hotel with dirty sheet, super ugly looking towel, barely working AC, and an old and cracking bath tub. The bathroom curtains are FULL OF MOLD. Floor is still dirty. I MEAN SERIOUSLY......!!!!!!!

Me and my friends rented a bungalow here last weekend. Positives: + The guest only hot water pool is nice. (41⁰C) + Breakfast and Dinner are included in the room rental price. + Some interesting activities around the area Negatives: - Beds were not clean. - Hot water for shower were not working. - Water dispenser were broken, it does not produce hot water. Neutral: ~ price is a bit expensive

I went here with my family and booked the landak camping rooms. Basically, the room was clean and tidy enough. And unique. But i think they need more improvement for the tent because we got the old spring bed that less comfortable for us to rest. Overall, We love the ambiance, the hot spring pool, and the cool breeze there.

It’s a great place to take a short break from busy days and enjoy some fresh air. Perfect for a family visit, especially with kids, as they can experience a bit of jungle trekking. The facilities have improved a lot. Now there’s a walking trail, a deer conservation area, and of course, the legendary Goa Belanda to explore.

The park gives you a good forest vibe with lots of high trees and green views. You will not miss the monkees on your way. Unfortunately we had lack of time to reach the Omas waterfall and Tebing Kraton which would take another 4km walk...😅

i thought they open at 8, but i came here at 6.30-7AM and i can get tickets already! spent the morning walking and taking in the scenery. i recommend getting here as early as possible to avoid crowds and before it gets too hot out to walk. we came on a weekday, so a few shops on the walk are closed, but thats okay. on our walk we met a lot of cats that accompanies us, like a tour guide. we didnt walk so far, just enough to see the two caves and the bit with the playground. if you have a lot of stamina, you should walk up to see the waterfalls. its a tad too far for us, but i want to go there if i have the chance to return. please wear comfortable clothes and running shoes since you'll be walking a lot and some paths can be quite wet and muddy depending on the weather. make sure you bring enough water and stick to the path!

A recommended place to chill and enjoy nature at Bandung. If you have an adventurous soul, and new to hiking, this place can be the best option to hike. They offer a lot of hiking point to explore, such as historical cave, deer ranch, and the farthest is Curug Omas while you can sit and enjoy seeing waterfall. You can also find groups of monkeys along the way.

It's good here, the air is clean, environment also clean. Many monkey around. I visit on weekday, only one or two stall were open. The road were okay. I went to penangkaran rusa.

A fantastical forest park, about 8km north from the city center. People usually enter the park from gate 1. The park is very long, the furthest distance from the gate is over 6km. Follwing the path, walking in the forest, it's so great! The attractions include Japanese cave, which is very big, it may hide several thousands of soldiers. The other is Dutchman cave, this one is smaller and acrosses a hill. There are also some waterfalls, but the water is not clean. Anyway, the forest makes people peaceful and happy. BTY, there are some little shops on the way in the park, providing drinks and food. Their food is delicious, and price is reasonable. How to get there? If u r a foreigner tourist staying at Bandung city center without any viehcle, u can take Angkot to Dago firstly. The Angkot stops at the west side of Bandung train station, under a skybridge. The Angkot's front window displays the destination. The price to Dago is Rp6000. Then transfer to a motorbike taxi to the forest park, costing about Rp20k.

A nice place to relax and enjoy the greens, have a walk in the morning and meets the monkeys 🐒 lol There are lots of snack and foods stands, no worries. At the journey you can find caves, waterfall and a deer 🦌 ranch. Come and see them yourself.

European style street at Bandung, pedestrian friendly for this city standard. Hopefully the government can uplift this area to attract more visitors.

Awesome to visit, but... Please please please pedestrianise this street. Let the cafes put tables out on the road. Make this ten times nicer and attract more visitors..

super crowded street in Bandung for sure ~ a must visit place for tourists whether local or international. been here on Saturday night, pedestrian isn’t comfortable enough to walk coz lots of seller selling their stuffs (flowers, tattoo, street foods etc) on the pedestrian area. Lots of cafes and art spaces around the street. Make sure to put this on your destination to-go in Bandung 😃 Pay more attention to your personal belongings ⚡️

manu cool place, many cafe along the road. one of very popular road in bandung and tourist area

A recommended place to visit for tourist. Many food, drinks, cute fashion stores, also art space.

This street is fun at night, this street has many nightclubs, and nightlife places, I also saw a place that sells some alcohol like vodka maybe, here is also a building that has existed since 1930 and its use has not changed until now, there is also a restaurant that has been around for a long time, there are many historical buildings here, there are also many paintings on the side of the road if you look at almost every painting looks the same but the shop is different. Idk.

The most famous street in Bandung Regency. So many places to visit. Love this place ❤️❤️❤️

I believe the services of this hotel getting worse. The operator said each room can request max 4 mineral waters more for ach day. The breakfast also nothings special especially for taste of food. Even ibis grand central breakfast i can claim more fantastic and good compared to trans studio luxury hotel. Also request for late check out 13.00 declined. The good things: quick checkin process, best swimming pool with white sand.

Went here for an office event. First we had team-building activities in one of their halls, then we got a fast pass for free rides. Place was clean and air conditioning was cool. Disclaimer: the place was rented by the office, therefore it might not be in full capacity. I tried some of their rides and they were decent, but nothing special. The roller coaster was closed due to bad weather. Their Dunia Lain (haunted house ride) was not scary at all, therefore it was just a cart moving slowly through some installations that was supposed to be creepy. I think they should provide a backstory or special effects to the ride. If they could not make it scary, they could also try another approach: make it speedy. Additionally, for a place this big, the bathroom was also quite small.

Had fun with the rides, but Giant Swing and Jelajah were under maintainance so didn't get to try them

It’s fun! That’s the first expression that can cover all of our experiences here. Almost all rides inside this indoor theme park we tried. The service from the staff also beyond our expectation. So my wife lost her phone in the toilet then we reported it to the staff, they were really fast response to it. Thanks God there was a good person gave the phone to them when s/he found it. Maybe something missing from this place is some stands are closed and like abandoned, such as the reporting news, marvel and the coaster, the rest were amazing! Bravo Trans Studio💪

Games quite great, will be good to add another new games. Spent 3-4 hrs. I bought the ticket for IDR 200k from traveloka. Quite a pity i cannot try the roller coaster due to weather circumstance.

So actually i will review the mall, not the Trans Studio Theme Park. This mall, probably one of the best mall in Bandung. Unfortunately the location is not too good, in the Gatot Subroto road, which is quite narrow and have a lot of traffic jam. The mall itself is good, the architecture, atmosphere and ambiance is like a very good mall in Jakarta. The tenant is good, the food court and restaurant have a lot of option.

An excellent place for families especially for the young ones. Many rides, shows and beautiful parade as the closing. Many food outlets spread all over and all needed amenities are within reach. Staff are young, energetic and helpful. We have been to many Disneylands and some other parks in the USA, Europe and Asia and this parks is as good as the others. Furthermore, the ticket is very much cheaper.

It's a really good place to see this ancient building that was designed like a cave? Or maybe it's a cave and constructed like a building or a place to stay? Not really sure, they should've provided some stories about the place.

People online said this is one of the must visit attractions / site in Cirebon, but i beg to differ. Upon entry the place felt dirty, unattended, and mismanaged. For background the place was built as a meditation place for the Cirebon Sultanate. The weird architecture using reef bonded together is definitely something unique, but the novelty of the plus point ends here. Everything feels dirty and the place fell apart everywhere. I must then resort to reading things online for context. No signage guiding tourists, no storytelling, stone path leading to dirt, pond becomes a local fishing pond. Even the commercial section on the exit for SME looked sad and vandalised. The government is stupid for discarding a place with such historical value. We left after exploring the place for 20 minutes. The parking lot was empty when we left.

Historical site with meaningful philosophy. Amazing. Recommended to visit when you in Cirebon.

it wasn't a big site, but it has stories worth visiting for.. we decided to have a guide so we can get the full experience.. the place was considered clean (for me) and the staff was very friendly.. although the site really needs improvements

Goa Sunyaragi Cirebon or Sunyaragi Cave is one of the historical sites that located on Cirebon, not far from the city center. The enterance ticket is only IDR 15k/adult person. I order ride from gojek ride to get there and the tariff is bellow 15k from my hotel (hotel Asri Cirebon) and it took only about 15 minutes to arrived. The sites is very large and it took me about 1 and half hour to finished sightseeing and photographed a whole place. I also took some rest sometimes if I feel tired of walking (I just sat on the stairs anywhere the sites). The sites was built on the 18th century based on the information I found online. Surprisingly it still looks in a good condition even though it was built a long time ago! If you have an acrophobia/fear of height, or you have imbalance issues, I suggest you to ask for guidance or guide to accompany you. Because if you want to explore a whole place, you need to walk across the narrow footpath (only one person can walk there) and next to it, on your right and left it has around 1/2 meter/50 cm a cubic shape hole. I think it used to be filled with water (like a small pond) or filled during the rainy season, but since it's just holes when I visit there you might find it a little bit scary to cross some passages. The surrounding area also full of irregular and rough and almost all of it has a sharp texture, so you can't use it as a grip. The weather when I visited there is scroching hot! I suggest you to bring some water to prevent dehydration. Don't forget your sunblock either! If you have a low heat resistance, you better bring a parasol/umbrella and wear an easy to dry kind of clothes. You can enter the cave, but not all the path is all conected, most paths are just short and dead-end. The sites has a U shaped path, so from the enterance to the exit gate, you just take a U shaped detour. The enterance and exit gate are side to side. By the enterance/exit gate you can find some street vendors selling some beverages and traditional chips/snacks. There is a big mosque/place for praying. Not far from there, there is a building from ministry of tourism and creative economy. Even though the building is already closed, in front of it has a notice/bulletin board. You can find several information regarding Cirebon culture, such as a traditional food, traditional dance and guide for the tourism place and they also give a translation for the international tourist. Near the building, It has a an open wide concrete field and nearby, there is Indonesia traditional gazebo/bale-bale. I saw a child who is practicing the Cirebonese mask dance. It's so beautiful! But,since I don't want to interupt the practice, so I just watch it from a far and didn't want to take any picture/video without their concern. Because dance duration is quite long, I also didn't have any chance to ask the dancing teacher, who apparently has a souvenir store or selling some wooden masks as a souvenirs. In general, I found the Sunyaragi Cave sites is worth to visit if go to Cirebon and you like historical place or object!

This place is only for sight seeing. Not so much history. Even no old photo or picture to show how the grandeur of this place before.

Sunyaragi Cave Park, also known as Goa Sunyaragi, is a fascinating historical site located near the city centre of Cirebon. This cultural landmark offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history while showcasing its unique architectural charm. The entrance ticket is affordable at just IDR 15,000 per adult, making it an accessible destination for all. While you can explore the caves, it’s worth noting that not all pathways are connected—many lead to short, dead-end routes. This layout adds intrigue and encourages exploration. What sets Sunyaragi Cave apart is its striking appearance, as most of the structure is covered in coral reefs. This gives the site an otherworldly vibe, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history or unique architecture. The preservation efforts seem commendable, ensuring its authenticity remains intact. Hiring a guide is highly recommended for a more enriching experience. They can provide valuable insights into the history and significance of the site, enhancing your visit and helping you appreciate the cultural context. Sunyaragi Cave Park is a unique and affordable historical site offering cultural education and visual wonder. Its coral-covered architecture and preserved layout make it a standout destination in Cirebon. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique outing, this site is worth a visit. Don’t forget to hire a guide to make the most of your trip!

Keraton Kasepuhan seems to be the better choice out of the two palaces in Cirebon because it's larger and older of the two. I chose the ticket with the access to all the areas which is 30k/person (domestic). Car parking is 10k. The entrance area needs to be cleaned, there's a lot of trash around and the ticket reader is out of service. The museum houses some artifacts, sadly it needs upkeep like painting the walls, fixing lights in exhibitions, and cleaning. The AI Lotus museum is not recommended, it's just a 15 minute AI video about the fight against the Dutch, and plays more like an action movie rather than a historic one. Going deeper, the back area is very poorly maintained. The restaurant has been abandoned for some time and the pools/lake are not maintained and used for fishing by the locals. I did not get a guide, and it seems it would have been a much better experience with one, so I highly recommend getting a guide. This place definitely has massive potential, and if it's fixed could be an instant recommendation if you're in Cirebon, and even an international level tourist destination. However as of now it's okay, not too bad not too good.

The museum zone and AI movie were really nice to see. It was cool to know about the history between the colonisers and Indonesian ***As a foreigner who doesn’t speak Bahasa, I felt a bit odd walking inside. Some people tried to talk to me and follow me (not in a friendly way) Maybe they were guides, but I wasn’t sure When I walked through the gate to get a ticket, a man (knew later, a guide) started walking with me, offering to volunteer as a guide, even though I didn’t ask for it. TBH, having a guide could be good here because there wasn't a lot information in English but I felt more like harassment

Well, it's a palace. I bought the Rp25.000 ticket, so I got to visit not only the palace but also the museums inside as well. Not much that you can do except strolling around aimlessly. Once we entered the museum, a guy came to us explaining things and gave us no space to say no. Even though eventually we used the service (later on we realized that he is a tour guide), it felt like an ambush. The funniest thing is the AI museum, which is basically a standing theatre where they play an AI-generated movie. The movie (obviously) looked so off because the generated images were not the best.

Cool palace with an excellent museum. The main thing to see in Cirebon. The grounds are mildly interesting, mostly for the Majapahit-style gates and ruins dating to the 15th cent (later palace sections are unremarkable). The museum is amazing, a treasure trove of 15-16th century asian artifacts. Foreigner prices as of August 2025: site entry 20k, museum 15k, AI exhibit 15k, old palace ruins (Dalem Agung Pakungwati) 15k. There's 2 other smaller keraton in Cirebon whose grounds are free (but lack the 15-16th cent structures). Note that I got a lot of harassment/unwanted attention while touring as a white person, including a group of children constantly following me and trying to talk and touch me. Just be aware.

Good Place to know the history of Cirebon especially kasultanan and the link with Sunan. Better accompany with guide so you get more detail story of place.

The views are awesome and the guide is great n helpful It is worth visiting this historical place

Overall, there were no artifacts from the 14th century and exhibits from civilization that were very old. This might have been a newly planned village at the time. There were crowns, documents, kilns, and carriages on display inside the museum. And it seems like a tribal city where there was not much exchange, given that there were more knives and spears than guns.

Visited this museum during Idul Fitri holiday. Not a queue at all so once the tickets are settled, we could directly start the tour of the exhibition rooms. Room one gave information on 3 main types of batik; Rifaiyah, Jelamprang and Besurek. Room two mainly displays major patterns like sido and nitik. Room three has a more fusion pattern like a combination of kawung and a painting of koi fishes. The last room is the most exciting of all; we can have a little hands-on experience on making batik, either tulis or cap. What a fruitful visit we had! Do not worry if you get thirsty or hungry, the museum has a little shop that sells snacks and beverages.

Highly recommend if you like batik. Entry was only Rp20000 for a foreigner. This included a tour guide and your chance to do your own batik piece, either with a stamp or tulis (writing).

You must have a good local tourist guide alongside with you when you look at the batik collection in this museum, laid out in three rooms and sections. Or else all the numerous motifs, deep symbolism, colours and laborious creation process would likely be lost on you. A good guide would be able to point out motifs, colours and techniques on the tip of their fingertips. Most of the wall text are in Bahasa Indonesia. The museum shop is excellent as it retails in one location ready-to-wear and textiles from numerous traditional batik studios located in Pekalongan. Allocate time to browse if you are a serious batik shopper!

It's a nice educational museum, where we can learn about various traditional batiks in Indonesia. The ticket price is cheap. There are not many exhibition rooms, but they're placed neatly. It only needs to provide a guide to visitors from outside the town.

It's really2 a very interesting experience, exciting and fun. If you visit Pekalongan, this place is one that must be visited. In this place, we can get to know more about the history of batik, batik motifs, to learn to make batik using "canting" and "cap". Really fun.

My favorite Batik Museum. The visit was taken in 2020. The museum is located in the center of Pekalongan, so very easy to go there. The number of batik on exhibition is large, with brief introduction, it would be better if English version introduction could be provided.☺️ Personally I prefer Pekalongan style batik, the colorful floral pattern is an ideal symbol of the tropics, where I love most. The tour guide will explain the features of batik to visitors if visitors wish, the whole duration is free of charge. Thanks the kind tour guide lady, because I have been keen to know more about Indonesians’ batik, her assistance was of great help.☺️🙏 Visitors may choose to make a batik by stamping the wax on a piece of white cotton cloth, to experience the procedures of creating a piece of batik. It is a really wonderful experience, and hope to go to the museum again in the near future.

This batik museum is located on Jatayu street, Pekalongan city. there are many collections of batik from all over Indonesia. there exhibited materials of manufacture materials ranging from types of fabrics, types of candles, fans as well as dyes, both natural and synthetic. and there are also very complete batik tools both original and replica. inside the museum there is information about the origin of batik, the year of manufacture, and the origin of the production area. the visitors can also learn batik by being accompanied by a companion.

When you take traveling from Jakarta ,Cirebon , Borobudur, so Dieng you must be stay 1or 2 night, nature , culture , and beautiful view

As a mountain guy, i prefer this place compared to Bali. I like heights and theres so many mountains around this place, i find it very exciting. The view is superb, weather is cold all year long. If you go on Aug-Sep, be sure to bring extra jacket cause it is very cold!

A nice area to explore with some of the Jeep tours, with interesting landscape and good food

One of the recommended place to visit in Central Java. Plenty of adventures to do and great places to stay too. And the best thing is the weather is very cold around July to September months.

Really enjoy my visit to this place. Great view with cool breeze.

Mysterious plate to visit. We drove from Wonosobo to the Dieng Plateau. Road is very scenic, nice view to the several mountains. We were lucky that it was clear. Recommend to drive in the morning, the bigger chance it is clear. On the plateau we visited the temples, the crater and hiked through the fields.

Stayed overnight at Dieng Plateau before hiking Gunung Prau, and it was unforgettable! The views are breathtaking, with stunning landscapes all around. The cold weather added to the charm, making it a perfect spot to soak in the serene vibe. Highly recommend visiting for a refreshing escape and incredible scenery!

Great view! One of best iconic sites in Dieng.

-2018- Tempatnya menarik sekali. kalau dari bawah memang tidak bisa benar-benar terlihat telaganya ada berapa warna, tapi kalau naik ke atas lagi baru terlihat perbedaan warnanya. Tempatnya luas banget dan rimbun, nyaman banget di sini. Walaupun siang tidak terlalu terasa panas. -2022- Good place to gdo, spending time to find peace (especially around low season). The area is wrapped around hills and mountains, giving ultimate chill situation. The lake is looking great as how it used to be, they are providing a lot photo spots nowadays, so you can go and enjoy taking pictures here. There's a lot of resting and hangout area, unfortunately when I come here they are in the middle of low season and currently in fasting month, so not all the hangout place are open. The caves that are located within the lake giving me ultimate peace (since no one are visiting), I can hear the sound of nature, it's cold and so calm. I walk around 5 minutes from Batu Tulis, take a leap and back to Batu tulis again. Over all this place is giving you chance to reconnect to nature very well (especially during non-holiday season)!

It is situated in the Dieng hills. While going here from Yogyakarta, you will be passing on the hilly roads having coffee plantations or farms on either side. The main attraction here is the lake which show different colors, hence the name 'Telaga Warna' which translates to 'Color Lake' in English. It was raining when we visited here, so we could not see any different colors really. You should be here on a sunny day to see those. Overall a decent place to visit and the lush greenery makes it more beautiful.

My expectation about this place is kinda too much maybe, it's definitely a good place but i think the people that responsible for organizing, controlling this place isn't doing theirs. I really hope it can be greater than this. And please for the visitor, don't ever throw your rubbish or litter here. It is very disgusting.

I think this place can be one of the recommended place to get you relax. When I go there, there was no many people means very comfort to enjoy the view of the nature.

One of the famous tourist places to visit in Dieng but unfortunately i visited in wrong time cause after a long summer the water receding but its still fine . The facilities such as toilets and food stalls are good. You should buy kue rangin sell by an old man which has the best taste of rangin i've ever try!

It's a good place to visit. The view is better when we see from the top but is beautiful also when we are going around this place. Just visit.

We went during the monsoon season in December and are the only ones there. Entrance Fee of 50k Rp for Foreigners Likely used to supplement the villagers for intrusion of their farms. Serene walk to the temple and admire the terrace Padi fields. A nice coffee place near the top and certainly recommended for a short break and to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. Temple is recently re-built and somehow characteristic of the temples in Yogya. The road to the ticketing point is only a one way lane and upslope which can be very dangerous during peak season. The village might want to consider improving this as they are collecting a large amount of entrance fee.

The main reason why people go to Selogriyo temple is for the picturesque views of the rice terraces on the way. There is an easy cemented path from the parking area to the temple itself. I would not recommend descending down to the terraces itself unless you are of moderate fitness, and especially not during the rainy season. We did; and the terrain was extremely steep, slippery and challenging. Walking along the narrow steppes can be dangerous and we did slip and fall into the rice paddies a few times (fortunately, we did not fall into the rocky stream as that could be catastrophic). Our guide did get lost on the way (we do not fault him, as the terraces are large and can be confusing). Not too sure if the well-trodden path we were supposed to walk along would be better. Nonetheless, the walk along the cemented trail was easy and beautiful. Docking 1 star because of how far the temple is from Yogyakarta city.

This was a nice quiet walk through terraced fields towards a secluded temple in the hills. Worth the drive here and highly recommended!

Beautiful scenery, friendly people.. good place to explore in Magelang

Surely worth a visit to another Buddhist temple. This one stands al alone on a beautiful spot and the walk through the rice fields is marvelling. This is not a very touristy spot, surely not in November. But a precious chance to spot daily life and work on the rice fields. Highly recommend!

The road to up is winding and narrow and you have to continue walking from the end road up about 1.5 km. The view however is breathtaking. The temple itself was being reconstructed. Even than the view for me is far more important to see, not to mention friendly natives I met along the walk. I was struggling for the bathroom and one neighbor let me in just like that. Parking is very limited, if possible go with a local driver so you don’t have to worry about parking.

I was amazed by the stunning sceneries along the way to this temple. So green and yet so tranquil. The road for motorbike and pedestrians are well made and maintained. I could not describe more how beautiful this area. And this tiny temple is worth it . On top of the hill ,just if we are lucky enough to enjoy when the sky is clear. Mount Sumbing is the view that we can not miss at all. Parking lot for motorbike is upstair just near to the stairs to the temple but for the car you need to park a little bit far and then you can either walk or take rental bike that costs 25.000 IDR for one way or 40.000 for returns. Toilet is available near by the second gate just before the temple. And it is clean enough. Perfect timing to visit is during dry season ( April to October) or morning when it is not cloudy. I am sure I will be back here to take more pictures.

Sam Poo Kong is a breathtaking blend of Chinese and Javanese architecture, rich in history and culture. This ancient temple complex, built in the 15th century, honors Admiral Zheng He's stopover in Semarang and showcases stunning red and gold decorations. Visitors can explore four temples, watch cultural performances like lion dances, and even rent traditional Chinese costumes for memorable photos. With its serene atmosphere and delicious food stalls, Sam Poo Kong is a must-visit destination in Semarang. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, culture, and spirituality.

Sam Poo Kong Temple in Semarang is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, blending history, culture, and spirituality in a single destination. The temple complex is beautifully designed with striking red architecture, intricate details, and a serene atmosphere that reflects its Chinese heritage. It’s not only a place of worship but also a cultural symbol that attracts both locals and tourists. Walking through the grounds, visitors can explore several shrines, statues, and pavilions, each with its own story and significance. The temple is closely tied to the legend of Admiral Cheng Ho, adding a layer of historical depth to the visit. The space feels both majestic and peaceful, making it an excellent spot for those interested in culture, history, or simply seeking a quiet moment. Overall, Sam Poo Kong offers more than just sightseeing—it provides an experience of connection with Semarang’s multicultural past. Whether you come for the architecture, the history, or the spiritual aspect, it’s a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression.

It is a great place to stay, think, and view cultural heritage of multicultural Semarang. The temple is truly huge, the smell of scent present everywhere, and as for Indonesia this place is clean and pleasant. I wish I had more time to sit down and clean my thoughts or even meditate but I only had two hours free during my business trip. Enjoyable and wonderful place.

Nice experience. I recommend to buy the full ticket that costs 60 000Rp to be able to visit the most impressive temples and to have a complete experience. Standard tourist ticket 40 000Rp.

Sam Poo Kong in Semarang is a historic temple with grand architecture and rich Chinese cultural heritage. It offers great photo spots and a serene atmosphere for historical or religious visits. Best enjoyed in the late afternoon.

Made a quick stop here just to seeing sight and take some pictures. Such a beautiful place with a very serene vibe. There is also a praying room for Muslim tourist here and there are many food stalls in case you feel like eating something after your visit. Lovely!

They have different types of tickets, the more expensive ones as they said, could visit all the places. However, you are still prohibited to enter their “holy” rooms because they don’t categorize you as “PRAYERS”, meaning if you don’t pay extra for offering incense. So hilarious, because they actually have no idea whom they are praying and why they are praying for him. 你们知道郑和真的是谁吗？? 无知的可笑。

Lawang sewu just like before i visited. Great colonial building and history to tell. But unfortunetly, this time, when i go to the dungeon, the guide didn't not tell us about the history. More like to tell us about the structure of the building and more. And just to add some advice, if visitor buy the advance ticket like me, please provide the personal tour guide immediately, so we do have to look for the tour guide place on our own

This place is majestic. When visiting this place I would strongly suggest you to use a guide provided there, it’s not free service (for a family of four you will have to pay at least IDR100,000) but it’s really worth it. The guide will not only tell you the history about this place but they are good photographer as well, they will tell you the best location to take picture and will take a nice picture for you.

Really place to learn some of local history. The flow of the museum needs to be better sih. So people like me, when decided to go there without any guide still can do a proper tour. Maybe a guide letter / sign can help. Sssstt they got a hidden basement tour (some said it haunted!)

When learning about the Old Semarang, Lawang Sewu is one of the historical place to understand the history of how the Indonesian Train company was initially founded. From getting off the train at Stasiun Semarang Tawan, visiting the Old Town, then learning about the architecture of the initial Train Company HQ at Lawang Sewu and then closing it with the old St. Ambarawa Museum is a must.

A great place to know a little bit more about the Indonesian history with the Dutch. I love that there's something for everyone: adults, small children and older people. I got to do the immersive one - price a tad more expensive than the other entrance fee but worth it to have someone talk to you about the history behind Lawang Sewu. Prices probably will change so I'd refer you to their website. The immersive experience in Building B has AC so a good break from the heat and humidity. There are souvenir shops, photo booths, caricature making if you want the traditional route of having your photo taken, owls that perform tricks, of course eateries and lots of museum like information inside the buildings. Depending on what type of tourist you are - there's something for everyone. Just a little warning, they won't let you bring drinks inside so better to put them inside your bag and drink it after going in or buy from the vendors inside. For the elderly, they also have wheelchairs. Just leave your ID when borrowing one. Outside the gates, local vendors sell toys and other souvenirs too

It is more attractive now with the immersive experience so its not that boring as it used to. When visit Semarang make sure u try to come at least once

Was really good experience. The building was maintained so well. We feel the ambience looklike long time ago

I went in May 2025.. the night before was raining… I was blessed with good sunrise and misty with sea of clouds.. the view was so beautiful ..we have been walking up to Setumbu hill from car park to the top about 15mins. There is stone staircases and lights along the way we trekked..

We never get to see the sea of clouds when we went here but still grateful for a nice weather and sunset. Climbing the stairs uptop is not so fun.

A beautiful place to watch the sunrise from the top of Borobudur Temple. The best time to visit is around 4:30 AM. Make sure you're physically fit, as you'll need to walk. The entrance fee is affordable.

Located just 30 minutes from Yogyakarta, Punthuk Setumbu offers a stunning sunrise view in the morning. The path to the top is elderly-friendly and very safe—I went when it was slightly raining, and it was still manageable. However, you’ll need to plan ahead and check the weather forecast, as some days can be too cloudy for a clear sunrise. Overall, it’s a beautiful experience and definitely worth the wait!

It is about a 10 minute hike on paved path + stairs to the top. Parking is 10k, entrance is 20k for locals and 50k for foreigners. A lot of people up here so forget about serene experience on a weekend. There’s a cafe at the top that serve coffee and tea. There are several benches, chairs, and raised garden bed edges that you can sit on. Since the sun rises from behind the mountains, it will be visible about 15 minutes later than usual. The old walking path that leads straight to gereja ayam has been overgrown, but there is a local bike path that you can use if you want to walk there. 29/06/25

Great spot to watch the sunrise. We got lucky on our second attempt and had a beautiful sunrise with merapati volcano visible in the foreground.

Beautiful easy way, around 10/15 minutes walking. Amazing views.

A nice short hike that's pretty picturesque. Parking: 4/5 plenty of parking space Price: 5/5 pretty cheap Toilets: 3/5 plenty and clean at the entrance, would've been 5/5 but all paid.

Good spot to do outdoor tracking, the Temple is also magnificent, there's a hot springs if you want to take a bath

The perfect place to walk/hiking to ancient historical building at mountain high. Stretching for 4 km tracking exercises fit for your health monitoring smartwatch. If youre weak enough, you could rent a horse 🐎 too. 😀👍🏻

This cultural and natural place has been developed well now. The parking areas are separated for motorcycles and cars or buses. The ticket price is relatively cheap. There's also ticket for foreign visitors with different price, of course. Beside temples to see, this place provides some shops selling food and drink that you can bring on your trip to the temple. If you don't like to walk, you might consider to rent a horse to walk you to the temple. Select the horse-riding packages you want. Other facilities you can find here are toilets, canteen, souvenirs shop, theatre, etc. Want to go camping or do outbound activities? Just contact the officer for the reservation.

Very nice and beautyful temple! You need around 2 hours to walk around, so dont fall for the locals who want to talk you into horse riding. The air is fresh up there and the views are stunning

Gedong Songo temple is one of the tourist destinations and local heritage. When I was visited here, there’s still under construction of parking space. Before, we can park directly in front of the gate of the temple and right now in a bit spacious land in the residential area around. For the access to the every temple is still the same, but the ticket price always increase and should be getting improved if the ticket price higher (maybe for adding more toilets, cleanliness of the temple area, etc) The view is so beautiful and great for take some pics here.

A Serene Escape to Gedong Songo Temple Nestled high on the slopes of Mount Ungaran, Gedong Songo Temple (literally "Nine Buildings") in Semarang offers a truly captivating experience for history buffs and nature lovers alike. This collection of nine Hindu temples, dating back to the 8th and 9th centuries, provides not only a fascinating glimpse into ancient Mataram Kingdom architecture but also breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Upon reaching the temple complex, you'll discover individual temples scattered across the landscape. Each "gedong" has its own distinct character, though some are more well-preserved than others. The air up here is refreshingly cool, a welcome respite from the tropical heat of the lowlands. The serene atmosphere, combined with the historical significance of the site, makes for a truly reflective and peaceful visit. Beyond the temples, Gedong Songo also boasts natural hot springs, perfect for soaking tired muscles after exploring. There are also various stalls selling local snacks and souvenirs, allowing you to refuel and grab a memento of your trip. Tips for your visit: * Wear comfortable shoes: You'll be doing a fair amount of walking, especially if you decide to hike. * Bring layers: The temperature can vary significantly between the base and the top of the mountain. * Consider renting a horse: It's a fun and convenient way to get around the sprawling complex. * Go on a clear day: The views are truly spectacular when there's no fog. Gedong Songo is more than just a historical site; it's an immersive experience that combines cultural exploration with natural beauty. It's an absolute must-visit if you're in the Semarang area and are looking for a unique and memorable outing.

The mosque's grand design, with its iconic minaret and vast prayer hall, offers a sense of tranquility and awe to visitors. Its beautifully landscaped gardens and impressive fountains add to the serene atmosphere, making it a peaceful retreat for reflection and prayer. The panoramic views from the minaret allow visitors to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding city and landscape.

This mosque has long been on my wishlist to visit. During my long long previous pilgrimages to the Wali of Central Java ago, I passed by it several times and only admired it from afar. Alhamdulillah, this time I was destined to pray here and feel its grandeur. It’s hard to put into words, but old buildings always seem to hold their own stories for those who visit. This mosque is one of them. It whispers wisdom that has endured through time.

Wonderful mosque architecture in the capital city of Central Java, Semarang. Finally got the chance to visit and perform subuh pray before going to Solo. Many jamaah visited the mosque even before Subuh Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the toilet and wudhu spot should be improved a lot. It was really uncomfortable see rubbish everywhere. The floor was slippery so it can be dangerous for people to walk here to have wudhu There was no cleaning officer there, plus the visitor has no awareness to keep the place clean It was very disappointing

The mosque is breathtaking. The architecture is also beautiful. It has its own style. Also this mosque is HUGE! When you come here I advise you to go to the information centre first. I went here to pray by myself and got lost (but the view is great anyway so it's fine). But it is very hot if you come here to enjoy the view in the middle of the day.

A visit to Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah on 7/Mar/2020. The most unforgettable features of this mosque to me are its outdoor arch and the purple color used, maybe the number of mosque I have seen is not large, I guess purple color is rarely used. After I arrived at the mosque for a while, I heard Adzan from the minaret, it was resonant, I was deeply attracted to stay there to listen to. I even record the voice, when google map supports to upload a video, I will update. There are 4 pillars looking like umbrellas, the function of them are used as shelters for prayers in rainy days. The inner side of the mosque is luxuriant, visitors (prayers and non-prayers) are free to come in, I lingered in the mosque for more than 1 hour.

The umbrellas were closed even though the day was super bright - cost saving, understood. But the toilet and the place for taking ablution was lacking of fresh air and was wet wet wet.. inside the mosque, as most of mosques I have ever been to in this country, children were running here and there, women talk-siding loudly sometimes giggling, and of course some were taking nap..

This mosque have an old giant or big Qur'an in hall of mosque, the architecture like Medina mosque but in little version and astonishing mosque complex, in this front of mosque plaza they have very big Bedhug and they have tourist attraction in top of mosque tower we can see semarang city around here, in parking lot area they have many food stalls selling many original hand gifts from semarang city, i take a photo shot this mosque in rainy day, editing it, and voila this photo very amazing.

Borobudur Temple is absolutely breathtaking — truly one of the most awe-inspiring places I’ve visited in Indonesia. The scale, detail, and history behind this temple are just incredible. Walking up through the different terraces as the sun rises, surrounded by mist and the sound of birds, is something that feels almost spiritual. Every level reveals new carvings and stories, and the view from the top is unforgettable. That said, the guided tour could have been better. Our guide was kind and enthusiastic, but unfortunately very difficult to follow — his explanations were rushed and not very clear, so most of the group ended up wandering off and exploring on our own. It’s a shame, because with a bit more structure and clear storytelling, the tour could have really brought the temple’s history to life. Even so, Borobudur is a must-visit. Whether or not you get a great guide, the atmosphere and beauty of the site more than make up for it. If you visit, I’d recommend either reading a bit about the temple’s background beforehand or using an audio guide, so you can better appreciate what you’re seeing. A truly remarkable place — just wish the guided experience matched the magic of the monument itself. 🌅

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 — An Unforgettable Experience at Borobudur Temple Borobudur Temple is truly a masterpiece of history, culture, and spirituality. Visiting this ancient wonder feels like stepping into another world. The intricate stone carvings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the sheer scale of the monument are breathtaking. Watching the sunrise from the top is an experience I’ll never forget—the sky slowly lighting up the surrounding mountains and villages creates a magical moment of calm and beauty. The temple grounds are well-maintained, and the guides are knowledgeable, helping bring the stories behind each panel to life. Whether you love history, architecture, photography, or simply want a peaceful place to reflect, Borobudur is absolutely worth the trip. It’s one of those rare places that leaves a lasting impression on your heart. Highly recommended!

This is a must see. Purchase your tickets online closing the convenient time.slot as well as the option of going to the top. You will be assigned for a tour guide inside the temple and he will explain all the story about it giving as well some details from what u see. It is really worth visiting knowing All the history and to see all nice views and also for nice photos. Electric cars are punctual and on on time to get you from entrance to the temple entrance. There is as well a big souvenirs shops market at that area. Highly recommended but during the day it can be very hot and sunny so bring an umbrella and/or hat and sunscreen. And prepare yourself to be given a slipper and put your shoes in a bag (they take care of everything at entrance and it is included in the climbing ticket).

Good to be back to history — such an iconic place that always feels timeless. The area is well-organized and clean. To reach the temple, you can choose between taking a paid buggy ride or the free electric shuttle — both eco-friendly options, which is great. The only downside is the way out — it feels a bit like a maze since you have to walk through a long souvenir market before exiting. Still, it’s worth the visit for the beauty and serenity of Borobudur itself. ✨

Highly recommend to visit here. Everything is included with 455k entrance fee. Water, slippers to Protect the temple and a guide is included. They schedule by group per hour. Organized and helpful guides. You can also asked the guards for pictures they know how to take it.

Borobudur Temple is truly an amazing destination. I really enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and the beautiful scenery here. The facilities are also very modern and well-managed. However, I found a navigation issue. The area is so vast that we had a hard time finding our way, and the signposts from the parking lot were not very clear. My suggestion is that it would be very helpful if the management could provide map brochures in the parking area or at the ticket counter. That way, visitors can explore more easily without getting lost. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience!

Borobudur Temple was on my bucket list. And I made to visit it. Some pros: - absolutely amazing art and experience (of course not comparable to Angkor Wat- lets say nothing can beat AW) - tickets for 15:30 actually are for sunset, and this is best time to enjoy the sun extracting colors from the temple. - we bought tickets for Temple Structure, which allows to climb to the top, and include buggy ride. Are 40k IDR more expensive - ticket includes shoes (kind of bamboo flip flops), and bottle of water CONS: - overpriced! 455k IDR (25$) because you’re foreigner (75k IDR for local) - a lot of hustle and bustle around for taxi, souvenirs etc - guide was enough - EXIT is a NIGHTMARE, as you need to get thorough maze of really pushy sellers, which makes me panic to get out of there! Outside- another group pushing for taxi, some souvenirs. Please respect our „NO thank you” boundaries, as we- foreigners- are respecting your prices, places and culture. Whatever good impressions I had, they got lost with going through exit. TIPS: 1. Only Structure Tickets, buy online in advance 2. Preferably entrance at 15:30 3. Take extra water with you 4. Keep calm and move on through maze of shops to get to the desired exit.

The spot isn't large, but the view is amazing. We visited this place passing a dam called Waduk Sermo, climbing up a hill with very steep and narrow road. After quite long climb...we reached the top and as I had expected (I saw the pics on Google) we saw a beautiful dam surrounded by green carpet all over the hill.

Nice spot to spend time, beautiful view. The only problem is the road to go there is quite challenging. You can enjoy nice view of waduk sermo from this area. Fresh air and calm nature will rejuvenate your soul. However, there's few activities that closed at the time I visit this place (mostly due to not enough visitors after the pandemic). Also not many food stall that open to bussiness, afaik only 4 on top and 2-3 at the parking lot.

The views are beautiful, especially during morning sun. Big and tall trees around. A view of a reservoir might be the best part. Many spots for photoshoots. Either free or paid and taken by a photographer. But to get here is a struggle itself. The road is too steep and narrow. No clear sign that direct you to the place. Be careful because side by side is deep cliffs. The trip itself is also an amazing journey. Parking lot is also a problem during peak season. Not really enough to accommodate visitors because it is too narrow.

I was a bit disappointed by this park to be honest. It's quite a far drive and it's not very big. We had bad weather, which probably didn't help. Also, all the photo spots are closed between 12-1pm, so we couldn't even access the platforms. The drive towards it was nice though!

It's a very good place for family. There are many spots for capturing pictures. But you need to pay some money each person to climb onto the spot. Yet you can also capture moments for free in any spots possible. The parking garage is available 200 m from the entrance. You may rent an ojek or you can walk by yourself. (I personally find it unworthy😅) Oh, actually 4 KM before the parking garage and entrance, some people will come to you to offer a ride with Jeep. I strongly advice you to not take any offering from people who offer you a rent to Jeep ride if you want to save money. It costs 200k. But if your car doesn't have enough cc (1250 cc minimum i guess), it's OK to take Jeep ride (due to bad condition of the road).

Love the place though the area is not big and it is far from anywhere. It is actually a lookout with a view to Waduk Sermo and its surrounding. The scenery is a good and the air is fresh. There are three 'main' photo spots, you need to pay for each spot or have a 'package' for all three spots - the photo spot fee is per person. The photographer can help to take photos by using their DSLR with price per picture that you want (e.g. can take 10 photos but only take 2-3 photos). You pay only the photos that you want and the pictures will be copied to your handphone by cable data. The photo spot and the DSLR's photo fee are 'cheap' for a tourist area.

it is nice place to be here. the road is challanging and your body must be in good condition. it is so cheap but for taking pictures in places for photo are expensive. here also you can get outbond for children. if you come here with your children, it will be nice and enjoyble

since i love all about train, visiting this place is one of my wishlist in life. if you want to know the journey of Indonesia railways since beginning, this is the best place to visit. not only the information, you can also see the vintage loco as well as the ambarawa station itself. i also bought the KA wisata ticket, to experience riding on vintage cars from ambarawa to tuntang, enjoying such a beautiful scenery from inside the train car. this would be memorable experience for me. overall, this gives me different experience of holiday :)

Ambarawa Railway Museum houses a collection of historic locomotives, including steam engines still in operation. Visitors can enjoy a scenic train ride through beautiful countryside. A great destination for history lovers and families seeking an educational trip.

I just passed this museum on my way to Monumen Palagan Ambarawa and ended up visiting it. It’s a very informative museum with real historical artifacts. Unfortunately, some of the captions on the images are a bit blurry, and I also missed the chance to join the old train trip. It would be more engaging and interesting if there were interactive sessions or activities held in the museum

The museum, formerly the now-inactive Ambarawa station, is a fascinating and informative way to learn about Indonesia's railway history. It features a collection of vintage locomotives, a cafe serving local cuisine, and the opportunity to ride a train along the old Dutch-era tracks to Tuntang station, overlooking the beautiful natural scenery.

There are many lessons for children, especially about the history of Indonesian transportation. Beautiful and clean place and very beautiful mountain views. Unfortunately the price of food/drink is quite expensive and you can't bring food/drinks from outside

The museum offers a great experience, especially for kids, with educational value and an interesting collection. Unfortunately, I visited during rainy weather, which made it hard to fully enjoy the outdoor areas. While it's good for children, the museum could improve by offering a dedicated kids' tour guide. Interactive storytelling or demonstrations would help younger visitors who may not yet be able to read or fully understand the exhibits. Overall, it's a nice place but could be more engaging for families.

We were guided through the museum by Mba Amber. She was humorous and very knowledgeable about the museum's contents. Her explanations were easy to understand. The place is spacious, has a large collection, cool temperature, but a bit spooky (for me) 😁🙏🏻

It's so fun visiting this museum. There are 3 options if you want to visit and enter the museum. Each option gives you a different historical explanation and also a different admission ticket starting 50k-100k/person. NB: the guide will explain the history and no taking photos inside allowed. You can take photos once you finish the tour.

It was such an amazing experience! Ullen Sentalu is a 1.2ha private museum in the north part of Jogja. They divide the museum into 3 parts based on the tour theme (details of each theme can be seen on their website). I tried 2 out of 3 tours and they were all amazing. The guides were very informative and funny, and the collections were nicely handled and curated. If you have plenty of time, you should try all the tours, but if you do not, I recommend you try the Vorstenlanden tour. This tour has the biggest area, is more focused on keraton history, and you can get tea and cookies at the end of the tour to feel an Indische vibe. The museum itself was magical; I liked the garden so much. Unfortunately, documentation inside the tour area is prohibited due to copyright. They have a restaurant and a gallery in the exit area if you are hungry after the tour or want to buy some batik or accessories.

Very fulfilling visit guided by mbak Tina 🫶 we arrived at about 14.45 and was immediately escorted to start the tour. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Strictly no photos, videos or voice recording allowed, only in designated spots for pictures. Took the Vorstenlanden tour, 1 hour, ended with a cute little tea time, highly recommended. English guided tour available.

We did about one hour drive from the city to reach this place, which is located at the foot of Mount Merapi. The museum has 3 zones of tour to choose and I chose the Adiluhung Mataram Tour, which explains about the history of Javanese royalties. But the #1 rule of the museum is: you cannot take photos or videos along the tour. So we just took them outside. With all the greeneries around, you can still take beautiful pictures :)

I had a great time at the museum, especially during the Vorstenlanden Tour. However, I do have one complaint: a group of more than 12 people who were not part of our tour suddenly joined in, and the guide didn’t say anything about it. This made us uncomfortable, as these individuals didn’t pay the IDR 100,000 fee like we did. The tour and the museum itself were excellent, but allowing people to join without any control or restriction feels unfair to those who actually paid.

Very authentic museum with great garden… but they didnt let me take a photo(((. Only video of the garden which was raining very beautifully

great information, not great upkeep (hard when the entrance free is only 5k). worth a stop if in the area. solid displays/exhibits about volcanic/geological fundamentals, detailed history of Merapi and Indonesian volcanoes in general. whole thing takes about 20 minutes. plenty of parking and good quality roads to get there. bathrooms have no toilet paper.

Back in 2012, I often visited this place with my friend. At that time, it was always empty of visitors. I could take pictures freely without any disturbances. The only problem I encountered back then was that the roof leaked when it rained, but it seems to have been fixed now. A few days ago, I visited this place again, unfortunately, it's now crowded with visitors. Hopefully, those who visit the museum are mindful of cleanliness, avoid littering, and do not damage the exhibits.

High recommended for museum tour. All about of Geology and Volcano education. The Merapi cinema was amazing, creative, great and cool... Recommended for kids, stundents, parents etc. The price is very cheap, only 5000 rupiah but worth it!

This is educative for children's. I like it very much. This impressive museum is located in a striking angular structure that resembles a volcano. Exhibits dedicated to Merapi include a scale model, which demonstrates eruptions from the 18th century until today and how they altered the mountain's shape. There are vintage seismometers on display, along with a motorbike excavated from molten ash. There's an earthquake simulator, a cinema screening the story of the 2010 eruption (10,000Rp) and profiles covering volcanoes of Indonesia and the world.

The shape of the building is iconic. The museum is very educative. I spent more than an hour here just to explore the museum and read every caption. The installations are very interesting and some of them are interactive. They have some relicts from 2010's eruption of Mt. Merapi. This place is very recommended to you who visit Jogja, especially for students.

Entrance fee is 10,000rp for foreigners. Not a expensive museum and quite interesting but it’s really a shame that it’s not well maintained. On the ground floor some panel with lights are not working anymore. On the second floor you can see that there are a lot of leaking in the rooftop and humidity already started damaging the walls.

Merapi Volcano Museum is a great exposition of the importance and the impact of Mt. Merapi to Yogyakarta! It has all the interactive modules and rooms that will provide you the right and essential information to understand how Yogyakarta, and Indonesia, responds and treats disasters. From videos, to sculptures, and eveb mythologies, the museum offers it all. Perhaps my most favorite part is the central model in the lobby of the mountain itself. The rock samples were also fascinating. To make the experience more impactful, get a tour guide and if you are lucky, get a geologist friend who speaks the language. Unfortunately, parts of the museum show disrepair. Mold has creeped into the fiberboard ceiling and some part have decated already. They also need to update their toilets. Although they have a souvenir shop, it is better if it can have its own store so it is more noticeable. I really hope they have future plans to renovate and modernise the facility! We don't want another eruption for them to revive their drive for risk education and communication!
