Jans HansyahMarch 12, 2013The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture.

Martani SehatNovember 20, 2018In Friday morning, a group of yogist use this field to exercise yoga. It's really refreshing to have yoga in Prambanan. So close to the nature. Come and join the group when you are around Jogja.

Jose A. MadariagaJuly 7, 2016Several temples are currently being rebuilt but the main temples are complete and impressive. SUNSET is not the big deal as it goes down behind many trees. Last of the temples is as great as quietUpvote1Downvote
Agda DowMay 14, 2018It’s been 20 years since the last time I actually visited this temple & facilities have improved a lot. Except that I found this guy at the exit who brought a huge snake & that is not entertaining!!UpvoteDownvote

Hercules StrydomFebruary 26, 2018Much better value for money than Borobadur, large grounds to spend time on. Try avoid coming on weekends or around midday as there will be crowds of people.
