With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Dieng Kulon, 45 miles away, has to offer. Dieng Plateau, Telaga Warna and Kawah Sikidang alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Magelang, 50 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Borobudur Golf Country Club. (But we’re also huge fans of Taman Kyai Langgeng Magelang and Diponegoro Museum.)
