Borobudur Temple uses a two-tiered ticketing system for foreign visitors in 2025. There are two main types of tickets:
- Temple Ground Ticket: Allows access to the grounds surrounding Borobudur Temple but does not permit climbing the structure. The price for international tourists is about 412,500–455,000 IDR (approximately $25–30 USD)[2][3][5].
- Temple Structure Ticket: Permits visitors to climb up the temple itself. This ticket costs around 455,000–500,000 IDR (approximately $30–33 USD). Only a limited number of these tickets are offered per day[1][3][4][5].
The total cost for a foreign visitor to climb up the temple (i.e., both access to the structure and the grounds) is typically $30–33 USD at current rates[1][3][4][5]. Some sources mention a bundled fee as high as $55 USD if booking through certain agencies or for special guided experiences, but the direct ticket office and official website rates are usually lower[1].
How to buy tickets: Tickets can be purchased online via the official Borobudur website, or at the ticket office on site. Booking in advance is strongly recommended, as structure tickets are limited per day due to preservation efforts[2][3][5].
Guides: All visitors climbing the structure are now required to join a group accompanied by an official guide, and tickets come with this service included[2][4][5].
