Excellent experience. We went there very early so basically we were the first one to enter the temple. Later we went up to the temple with a group and guide. Good to go early in order to avoid the crowd.
The park is part of the borobudur compound and is very well maintained. It's amazing walking in the lawn and admiring the temple. However it's better to go early in the morning to avoid crowds and carry an umbrella as it gets extremely sunny and hot.
Amazing architecture and views from the top. Recommend booking online in advance if you want to climb to the top as numbers are limited to 1,200 per day (and they have 50,000 visitors a day in peak season). Note different ticket types provide access to different areas. If you climb the temple you have to wear the flip flops provided to limit errosion. Well worth the climb even if a little nerve racking coming back down!
It is a big temple, the exit route is very far. No need to take electric car, the temple is very close. It is very hot, you need big hat or umbrella. Prepare your strong leg before visiting this temple.
From my experience as a local tourist, it is very unfortunate when buying tickets, it is not explained that tickets to enter the temple area are different from tickets to enter into temple. When I went, there were lots of tourists like me who were confused because they only bought tickets to enter the area, not into the temple. So I hope the ticket sales staff to local tourists can also explain that there are different tickets if you want to enter the temple.
FYI : There are 2 ticket booths (for foreign tourists and local tourists). When I bought 6 tickets, the staff only asked "how many tickets?" Without explaining or asking what ticket I wanted or mentioning that the ticket was different
I, who had walked up to the terrace of the temple (which was quite a long way from the tiket booths) had to go back to upgrade my ticket, unfortunately again, I had to wait 2 hours later to be able to enter to the area inside the temple because the quota is full.
I hope this can be conveyed to the manager, because it is very unfortunate that I came from a very far area just to visit Borobudur but the experience was like that.Don't just pay attention to information for foreigners, I, a local tourist, also traveled a very long way from Kalimantan to Yogjakarta to be able to visit Borobudur because I really admire the history of temples in Indonesia, especially Borobudur

It's an important historical site but it is poorly managed. We paid higher but the ambience didn't change too much. So many sellers offering (sometimes forcing) stuffs with expensive price. The place is also too big with rare entertaining sites. Rhe worst was we went through a seemingly endless labirynth of sellers. While we support the local economy, site management could do better for the interest of both visitors and local sellers.
Entry for foreigners if prices higher than locals or work visa holders.
Kids are charged less.
You can climb upto 7th floor and guide is given to you completely along with complementary water and slippers.
You see as 1200 year old architecture and admire it's beauty

One of my favorite places I've visited in Indonesia. Amazing experience. The atmosphere and views here are extraordinary. I also definetly recommend a tour with a guide. 100% worth it.
Better to visit on low season.
Not allowed to go to upper floor due since pandemics and not sure when will be opened again.
If you want to skip shopping area, you can take andong (horse carriage) with price around 100k and it only stop on 1 shop only and will end the trip in parking area.

One of the Unesco's world heritage site. There are many objects that are interesting at this site. There are many souvenir sellers at the exit, as a matter of fact, you will have to pass them when you're exiting the site. There is also a Borobudur museum, which people don't really pay attention of. Get yourself ready for a long interesting walk around the area.
