My Experience Visiting Borobudur

Borobudur temple is one of the premier tourist objects in Indonesia. Several years ago I decided to go to Yogyakarta as a destination for cultural tourism. I had the opportunity to get into Keraton Yogyakarta, it's such a priceless experience. Then I scheduled a visit to Borobudur and Prambanan temples. My experience visiting Borobudur temple was quite exciting. From Yogyakarta I headed to Borobudur in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel.

So many people thought that Borobudur is located in Yogyakarta, it is actually located in Magelang.
