With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Blitar, 50 miles away, has to offer. Blitar Square ought to be at the top of your list here. Sumber Udel Water Park and Pasar Legi are also not to be missed. Surakarta is another great option. It’s 50 miles away and offers an array of fun things to do. Solo Paragon Lifestyle Mall, Hartono Mall and Mangkunegaran Palace are only the start.
