- •Ride-sharing apps like Gojek and Grab are very affordable and convenient for getting around.
- •While ATMs are common, use those attached to banks for better security and reliability.
- •Entrance fees for major attractions like Borobudur and Prambanan are relatively high for the local economy but offer great value for tourists.
- •Carry small denominations of IDR for street food and local transport, as many vendors do not have change for large bills.
