If Borobudur is a Buddhist temple, Candi Prambanan is a Hindu temple. Personally, I think Prambanan is better managed that Borobudur. The complex has more facilities and therefore, you will easily spend a whole day here.
Opening Hours
0730 - 1730 daily
Admission Fee : IDR 252000 per adult (foreigner)
Tour Guide : IDR 100000 for 1 hour (optional)

| Tour guide- optional but highly recommended! |
We hired a tour guide from the counter next to ticket counter. Our tour guide spoke fluent English and was knowledgable (I quizzed him and he did NOT make things up).

The Shiva temple is the tallest among the Trimurti temples. The other two are Vishnu and Brahma temples. Right across the Trimurti temples are the vahana (the deity's "vehicle") temples - Nandi (bull) for Shiva, Garuda for Vishnu & Hamsa (swan) for Brahma.
The chambers in Shiva temple houses statues (of):
 |
| Shiva Mahadeva |
 |
| Agastya |
 |
| Ganesha |
 |
| Durga Mahisasuramardini |
 |
| A vahana temple houses statue of either bull, garuda or swan |
Aside from being the venue of the
Ramayana Ballet show, there are a few other smaller temples and sanctuaries nearby. You can get a shuttle or hire bicycles from here to see the other temples.

If you are in Jogja, please spend at least a day here and another day in Borobudur. Don't rush and try to pack them in one day.
