The 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 .

Having seen Borobudur temple 's night look couple of times, last week I was standing out right there to rejoice how admiring the 9th-century Hindu temple also known as Candi Rara Jonggrang is.

Get the combined ticket for Borobudur and Prambanan. Sunset was good but I think sunrise might be a little better here. Check out the other temples on the compound. Less crowded and more info on it

Entrence tickets are expensive but it is definately wortal seing. Combain tickets for Prambanan and Borobudur are available. It is much chaper. Both temples are especialy worth visit for the sunrise.

In 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.

No doubt, it is incredible beautiful temple ....unfortunately, many other stones build has been already destroyed but it is so big and beautiful temple , I have never seen...

Jose A. Madariaga

Several 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 quiet

It’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!!

Make sure you watch the Ramayana Ballet performance . Defo worth your time! Visit between April - Aug to be able to enjoy the magnificent, colossal outdoor Ramayana performance . You won't regret it.

The amazing details of sculpture and architecture of the temple , very wonderful Hinduism Temple in Central Java Indonesia

Great ancient Hindu temple located in Klaten. There are temples dedicated for Shiva, Vishnu, etc. This temple was also a location for filming "The Philosopher".

Hercules Strydom

Much 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.

Prambanan temple is one of the legend of Indonesia. Souvenier market is very cheap and recommended! lovely place

Set aside at least 30min for souvenir shopping at the souvenir alley at the exit. The stuff there are set at reasonable prices and good to buy!

Bambang Kuntjoro

dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Sustainer (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva).

Don't expect something as amazing as Borobudur but the amount of work that went into rebuilding these temples is amazing

Sebastiaan Verschuren

Try to come as early as you can. We were here around 15:00 and it was crowded . Beautiful site.

Tobing Sandra

History is always amazing. The earthquake makes them ruined and too long to recover.

World Heritage Number 642. Great art sculpture and story.

If you are Asian (eg Malaysian) just pretend you're from Indonesia to get the local fee! It worked for my friend

MK Chan

For foreigner ticket, it is quite expensive as IDR325,000...no wonder...this emotion is priceless..

Katherine

Go early to capture great pictures! And slab on sunblock!

Karan Bhardwaj

Great place for photography during sunset

Yessi

The show start from 7.30pm. Please come earlier and you will get beautiful scene, when the moon rises from east among the temples . I guess the best performance was the second part, when Anoman burned.

Awe inspiring temple in Yogyakarta.

Monique

Great, specially if you make a biketour first, harmonious in nature

Glenda Uy

Cost for foreigners is 15 times more than the local, be prepared to pay almost $20. Separate entrance for foreigners, you will also get your sarong there, no matter shat you are wearing.

Food wasn't so good. Prices are high. Service is mediocre. It's a tourist place, prambanan Ramayana teacher is nearby, so it's normal for places like this nearby tourist attractions - Ekaterina Mektou
