Parking lot was very spacious, car park is 15K rupiah.
For tourist you can buy the tickets online from their official account borobudurpark. The tickets now quite expensive, even for local tourist

We booked this trip through ViaVia travel in Jogja. They arranged a driver and car for the hotel pick up and drop off. The assisted with online entrance ticket purchase. Since covid Boroburdur have changed their visitor system. They now restrict numbers on the structure at any one time, so they have introduced 1-hour timeslots in small groups led by an appointed guide. There is no extra charge for the guide, but you do have to stay in your group. When you book your ticket online, you select a 1-hour slot from those available, and that is the time you are allowed onto the structure. You are given a wristband with QR code containing your time. You are also given soft soled 'slippers' as they call them to be worn on the structure to protect it from erosion (Pic attached).
As you enter the structure, your guide will explain and describe each level and the carvings as you ascend. Once at the top, you are allowed to wander around alone but keep an eye on your exit time. You all exit on the opposite side of the structure to the one you entered, and each wristband scanned out. Thus, they know if anyone is overdue. Your guide then points you in the direction of the exit. You can stay on the grounds as long as you like. Be mindful of the heat when booking your timeslot. Warning ⚠️ exit is through a myriad of market stalls and allys, and you will be pestered to buy, and they follow you around, insisting you spend. It is quite a gauntlet. Be firm.

Requiring a guide limited the experience for me. Requiring unsafe sandals that allowed my feet to get sun burned was a drawback to the experience. Recommend taking socks that you can wear with the required sandals that you have to buy with the tickets. We chose not to pay extra for a guide that could speak English. We thought we could explore at our own pace, but we had to stay with our guide. It was really hot at 10:00 a.m. and the guide had us standing in the sun multiple times getting baked. Our group had 15 people, which was too many for one group. It would probably be worth it to find a way to pay extra for a smaller group of your own party to go at your own pace. You definitely should walk up the steps to the top.

Amazing and magical place. We did a group tour with Sunrise, so we arrived to the Temple very early, we were the first one entered to the temple's first ground. We took a big walk around the temple and in the area. Around 9am they took us up to the temple. There is maximum 150 person/hour, and we were divided up to smaller group with a local guide, what made the whole experience even better
