The Best Way to Travel Around Java Island

Transportation in Java can be done by train or by renting a private car with a driver. Both options are ideal for long intercity journeys while offering comfort. However, if you don’t want the hassle of moving from place to place, renting a private car with a driver in Java is the most convenient and comfortable option.

Best Time to Visit Java Island

Java can be visited year-round, but the best period is April to October during the dry season. Keep in mind, temperatures in Bromo and Ijen can drop to 0–10°C, so travelers are advised to bring a warm jacket. During the transition season, the weather can be less favorable, so maintain your health and bring necessary medications.

Authentic Javanese Cuisine

Besides natural and cultural wonders, Java also offers a wide variety of delicious food. Don’t miss trying local dishes such as Javanese Fried Rice, Chicken Noodles, Gudeg, Pecel Rice, Rawon, and Madura-style satay. For those with sensitive digestion, we recommend avoiding chili sauce as it may cause stomach upset if you’re not used to spicy food.
