Solo Travel Guide

 IreneMcKay Says:  We booked a car and driver through our hotel for this trip. This was considerably cheaper than the price we had been quoted by a travel agency earlier. The erotic temples are Candi Ceto and Candi Sukuh. They are fairly near each other and with transport can easily be visited... 

 IreneMcKay Says:  Solo has two palaces. Puri Mangkunegaran is the smaller one, but it is supposedly better kept. You have to go round on a tour which I don't normally like doing, but our guide was really interesting and funny and told us lots about the objects in the palace which we would... 

 theo1006 Says:  Another tip on Ceto temple? Yes, the reasons I explained in my Sukuh temple tip. If you go to see one, you should visit both. The 9 km from Candi Sukuh to Candi Ceto take you through tea plantations and past deep valleys. It feels like the road will take you into the sky.... 

 Marjara Says:  I go places not just for the sake of going and I don't consider lolling in the sun on the beach with a beer in my hand to be the ultimate in traveling experience. Each society has its own particularity, its own culture and mores. One of my purposes in traveling to an exotic...

 ancient_traveler Says:  Nasi Liwet (Liwet Rice) maybe is the most popular original cuisine from Solo, its known almost everywhere, and has been listed as a menu on a major hotels restaurant at a big city across the nation.

The size of sate buntel is big, one portion of its usualy enaugh for two persons to eat. But...

 theo1006 Says:  You can of course take a regular airconditioned (so-called PATAS) bus from Yogya to Solo. But there is a more comfortable option, only slightly more expensive. The Joglosemar bus company offers a three times daily service in both directions. As of July 2010: departure...
