We flew to Adisujipto airport from Denpasar in Mandala Airlines, the price was cheaper than other airlines. The prices for the one day tour to Borobudur in Bali were really expensive (250 to 300$), so we decided to travel by ourselves, it was right; at the exit of the airport we found a small local tour operator that gave us a 10 hours tour visiting Borobudur, a Yogyakarta city visit and Prambanan for just 45$. The guide was really friendly and nice, we had a comfortable small bus just for us, and we stopped wherever we wanted. We highly recommend this option.

From Jogjakarta to Borobudur is about 1 hour trip.
So, just rent a motorcycle around Malioboro area, about Rp.50,000.

The site of Borobudur is actually located about 45 minutes drive from central Yogyakarta. If you want to take a taxi to Borobudur get your hotel to call and arrange transport and to also negotiate the price. A taxi ride for the journey should cost no more then 150,000 Rupiah ($16 USD) each way. Our taxi cost 100,000 to Borobudur and 150,000 back into Yogyakarta.

The bus terminal is opposite the market. If you can find the market, you can find the terminal. We walked from Manohara hotel to the bus terminal. From the direction we came from, it's actually hidden behind a row of shop houses. At the end of the road, the market on our left, and the bus terminal is on the right.
It's 15,000 rp to Jogja per person. We were told by another group of tourists that it's a good price. Although according to the Lonely Planet, it's 5000 - but it may be an old edition... but I guess it's still cheaper than taxi.
Be warned, the bus could get crowded, very.

Most places of interest are within 2 km... so walking is an option. But it's easier to just hop onto a becak or one of those horse-pulled carts for a few thousand rp.

You can also hire a taxi to visit borobudur for the sunrise and return back to your hotel for less than USD10( USD8 ~ USD9). Do negotiate a bit .

Borobudur can be reach indirectly by plane or by Train and directly by Bus. One can fly by Airlines from Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya or Mataram to Yogyakarta. The flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta take about 50 minutes.
From Yogyakarta one can take a bus, taxi, rent a car or by one day package tour which arrange by travel agents in Yogyakarta.From Yogya by Bus is a convenience one, take a bus with the destination to Yogyakarta's JOMBOR TERMINAL, then from here one can take a bus with the route directly to Borobudur, it was a cheap one and you can ask the people where one must go to take the route I was mention above
