Java is one of the world’s most densely populated major islands, yet its most memorable journeys move between monumental cultural sites, volcanic highlands, rice fields and historic cities.
Experiencing the region
Yogyakarta and the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan anchor many cultural itineraries, while Mount Bromo and other volcanic landscapes add a powerful natural dimension.
Planning your stay
Distances and traffic make careful routing important. Java rewards a selective itinerary with well-chosen bases rather than an attempt to cover the island too quickly.
