Arrival
By plane
The main transport hubs for tourists are Yogyakarta and Solo, both well connected with domestic flights (and a few international ones) and within easy striking distance of the main attractions of Borobudur and Prambanan. Provincial capital Semarang also has a major domestic airport.
By train
Purwokerto, Yogyakarta, Solo and Semarang are connected to other cities with intensive railway service, providing various classes of accommodation for all budgets. Central Java cities often have more than one railway station, a legacy of the many private railway lines during the colonial era.
