angelholic lieNovember 24, 2016Come and take the sunrise tour. You will never forget the view of the sun rise above the temple
MizzdeniOctober 8, 2012Get to know the history by getting a tour guide for 75,000 Rupiah. Thank you Mas Yanto for taking us through the engraved stone stories and levels of reincarnations!
Al KautsarApril 21, 2013If u're looking forward on buying souvenirs. Its better to come late. Cause thats when the sellers get desperate & they sell'em for a very low price.. ! :-) have dan!!!
Arif SetiawanSeptember 1, 2021There are many good places around the temple now, don't just visit the temple, try looking for a “balkondes” 🏡
Raisa AndeaFebruary 10, 2013It's quite far to go to the temple from the gate, you should prepare some energy to walk to and climb the temple.. But really worth it.. :)
Sylvia MargarethaDecember 28, 2012Try to be there before 16.30 because the temple closed at 17.15..also for foreigner,please grab the free tea or coffee or free waterbottle at vip room
Lala LuluAugust 18, 2013Feel being so lucky and so proud to be here! The greatest buddhist monument in the world which also one of the world heritage :) #From Malaysia to Indonesia
Chandra IrawanMay 21, 2014The Biggest Bodhis Temple on the World. In Vesak Day, or normal day, it's crowded .. Located only 15minutes from Atria Hotel & Conference
Baby Savira TirtodiningratOctober 2, 2016Da greatest Temple in Indonesia, one of da 7 wonders in da world! So proud!! #actorslife
Syafrian AdianandaAugust 27, 2011"Borobudur Temple" is known as Candi Borobudur. The only old Javanese manuscript that hints at the monument as a holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakretagama, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1365.
chrysalicApril 14, 2012Go early in the morning or in the afternoon. Enterance price is 30K. If you\'re not a walking person, take a \'train\' ride for 5K one way. Beware of souvenir market, it\'s a tourist trap!
Eun Beom YimApril 29, 2017Can enjoy sunrise & sunset tour at Manohara hotel. before 6AM after 5PM. but it costs 450,000 rupiah for foreigners.
Ella MagicmizzSeptember 28, 2013Best done at about 3 pm so it is not so hot. Hire a guide to make the experience more meaningful.
Millicent LeeJune 11, 2013Always come early during the day to beat the human traffic and be spoilt for amazing scenery and view!

Agustinus PurwadiyantoDecember 20, 2017Sophisticated art and culture of the ancestors in Central Java Indonesia
Aainaa KAugust 20, 2015For KITTAS holders, don't forget to bring your KITTAS card. Personally dislike how foreigners are charged 10 times more than the locals, but its how things are done here.
Wenny EreskaJune 11, 2013This place is awesome and there are antique historical museum, verry good :)
Mitch MitchellDecember 18, 2012The largest of the three nearby temples inscribed by UNESCO in 1991. You can continue on to Pawon and Mendut if you have time.
Ratna HutabaratMay 31, 2013On July or August the sun will be rising right in the middle of Mt. Merapi and Mt. Merbabu
MonikaNovember 30, 2023If you want to see the sunrise you need an additional ticket to get in at 5am. Regular entry is at 9am.
Nureen RashidiJune 28, 2014Hire a tourist guide for a better experience and new things to learn. If not, yeah sure you can still take some good pictures and go home.
David HicksSeptember 21, 2010#1 Avoid exiting through the maze of shops, by just walking straight from the museum (don't follow the "exit" sign, just go straight). You will be ended by the entrance, which where an exit as well.
Felicia GuetschoffDecember 12, 2013Come early in the day. And when you exit to avoid the pesky seller just go around to the beginning ticket place.

ianlanlanianSeptember 2, 2015Buy the combi ticket for Borobudur and Prambanan if you're bule it saves a lot of money..
Johanes Damian Budi PRAMANASeptember 1, 2015The biggest buddhist temple in the world and the most beautiful place
Lucy CrosnierMarch 5, 2016Perfect place for the sunrise ! Before teenagers arrive to take million selfie with you :/
With the existing greatness and mystery, it makes sense if many people put Borobudur in their agenda as a place worth visiting in their lives...- David HicksSeptember 21, 2010#2 If there's a man saying that you're not allowed to go straight from the museum, he is actually forcing you to exit through the maze of shops. Simply say "I'M GOING TO THE TOILET (or MOSQUE)".
Hercules StrydomFebruary 26, 2018Was not worth traveling all the way from Yogyakarta as the temple closes around 5 pm and therefore cannot see the sunset if you don't pay an additional 200k Rp. Prambanan is a much better use of time
Shadman SakibJanuary 31, 2014This place is really very hot. Please bring sunscreen, umbrella or hat in order to protect from sun light..
