Why this trip
Standing on a temple before sunrise while mist lies over the fields: the experience at Borobudur stays in children's memories, provided they are well rested. Yogyakarta on Java is best visited from April to October, when there is less rain and the days are easier for families to plan. Prambanan is another temple complex that fascinates school-age children, because its towers stretch into the sky like spikes. In the Sultan's Palace, the Keraton, children learn how a court once lived.
Taman Sari, the old water castle, has passages and pools that invite exploring. If you travel with younger children, plan only one item per day and keep the nap free, because the sun is strong. The journey takes 14 to 17 hours with a change, which is a challenge for families, so a buffer on arrival is worthwhile. Swiss travellers need a visa, either as visa on arrival or as an eVisa, and this point must be checked before departure.
Bali and Lombok are nearby. Whether the trip already suits your children, you can discuss in the video call.
