It's not Borobudur or Angkor Wat but worth a trip. There are many temples and very picturesque. We have some nice shots to remember this holy place.

Atmosphere was incredible with outstanding dance performance and the illuminated temple as background

Set out of town the Prambanan temple complex is truly inspiring. The work the Indonesians have put into rebuilding and repairing the temples after the eruption of Merapi some years ago is inspiring. We hired an official guide from the ticket office and this helped no end as we had everything explained to us in detail with added bits of... More

I liked the Prambanan temples but they were by far not as impressive as for example Angkor Wat and Borobudur.

Out of the four chambers in the Candi Siva, you are... More

Prambanan is as important to visit as Borobudur. Unlike its more famous cousin, it is a series of temples, rather than one huge structure. The sculptures and reliefs are just fantastic. Aside from the main group of buildings, there are some ruins of other smaller temples scattered around the site, but to be honest, we didn't think they were worth... More
