Price bands are thirds of what Indonesia itself charges, not a fixed dollar figure - the cheapest third in Vietnam and in Norway are nowhere near the same number. Flights and accommodation are not included.

    Where to eat

Prices are indicative and in Australian dollars. Flights and accommodation are not included. Distances between stops are straight-line, so a walking or driving route will be longer, and they are shown only where both stops have a known location. Items marked also worth doing sit outside the sightseeing theme and are there because they are among the best things to do in Indonesia.

Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

Luxury sightseeing questions

What makes an activity luxury in this plan?

Price, measured against the rest of that country - the top third of what is worth doing there. It is not a hotel rating and it does not include flights or accommodation, both of which usually dwarf the activities.

Is the expensive option always better?

Often it buys time rather than quality: a private guide, a skip-the-queue entry, a small group instead of a coach. Everything here is still ranked on its review score first, so a luxury plan is the best-reviewed expensive things, not simply the dearest.

Are the big landmarks worth the queue?

Some are, some are not, and the difference is usually timing rather than the place. Where a timed ticket exists the plan flags it, because the same sight at nine in the morning and at midday are different experiences.

How much sightseeing needs a car?

It depends on the destination, and the plan tells you which items sit outside the main city. If you are driving, check the International Driving Permit rules for the country first - several require one alongside your Australian licence.
