With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Magelang, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Borobudur Golf Country Club, Taman Kyai Langgeng Magelang and Diponegoro Museum. Don’t forget about Yogyakarta either! Just 25 miles away, Gembira Loka Zoo, Jogja City Mall and Palace of Yogyakarta are non-negotiable stops here.
