With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Jepara, 30 miles away, has to offer. Kura-Kura Ocean Park, Benteng VOC and Gelora Bumi Kartini Stadium alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Located 50 miles away, Semarang is another place to aim for. If you visit, be sure to check out Paragon City Mall Semarang, Sam Poo Kong and Old City.
