Frequently asked questions

Prambanan Temple is open daily from 06:30 to 17:00 WIB (Western Indonesian Time). Last entry is at 16:30. The compound is busiest between 09:00 and 14:00 — late afternoon offers the best light and the thinnest crowds.

Prambanan is 17 kilometres east of central Yogyakarta — approximately 30 minutes by private car or Grab. The Trans Jogja Line 1A bus from Malioboro takes 45–60 minutes (IDR 3,600). You can also add a private return transfer when booking your tickets.

Dress modestly — shoulders and knees covered. Free sarongs are provided at the entrance if you arrive in shorts or sleeveless tops. The complex is large and exposed to sun, so comfortable walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen are recommended.

2–3 hours is ideal for the Lara Jonggrang central group. This gives you time to explore all three main towers, study the Ramayana reliefs, and walk through the surrounding archaeological park without feeling rushed. Add another 1–2 hours if you also want to see the outer Sewu, Bubrah and Lumbung temples.

Yes, many international visitors do this independently. The two UNESCO sites are about 40 kilometres apart (roughly 90 minutes by car), and most travellers in Yogyakarta hire a private driver to cover both in a single day. We handle Prambanan tickets only. Borobudur has its own concierge service at prambanantickets.com if you'd like to book that separately.
