Indonesia’s beaches measure to 108,000 kilometers long. Bali is home to some of these magical beaches not to mention its daily treat of festivals, dance and music, and ceremonies. Bali is said to have brought together the best of both worlds – the old and the new; traditional crafts and modern fashion; disco music and retro; superb restaurants and nightclubs. Breathtaking sunsets are a sight to see in Bali.

Aside from sprawling beaches, tourists go to Indonesia because of its historical monuments and temples; well-preserved ecosystem and wildlife; array of festivals, cultural shows, indigenous music and dance; jungle adventures and river cruises.

The island of Java is one place in Indonesia that is most visited because of its rare wildlife, palaces, temples and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The greatest of all Indonesia’s monuments is located here – the Borobudur Temple. Another temple nearby is the marvelous Hindu temple at Prambanan. Various festivals abound just about all year round involving music, dance and sporting contests.
