Get Around

By taxi

Taxi is the easiest way to go around. It is cheap, and you can even book it 

for the whole trip. You can negotiate for the price. Ask in your hotel 

reception if they can arrange one for you. Or they may also have a car to rent (mostly including the driver).

Get in

By plane

Solo's Adisumarmo International Airport (SOC), 10 km north of town, is a small 

airport. There are 8 flights a day to Jakarta. The "international" part of the name comes from Silk Air's direct services to Singapore. Malaysia's low cost airline Air Asia now flies daily to 

Kuala Lumpur. If using taxi, you should by a ticket in a ticket shelter. Just name your destination and pay the amount they ask, and you will be assigned to a registered taxi.

You can also fly to Yogyakarta's Adisucipto International Airport. The 

distance between Yogyakarta and Solo is only 60km and any taxi will be glad to take you.

By bus

The main bus station is actually not in Solo city itself, but in Kartasura, some 

12 kilometers west of the center. There are regular services throughout the island, including Jakarta (10 hours) and Surabaya (5 hours).

The city bus terminal, Terminal Tirtonadi, services more local destinations such as Yogyakarta, for Rp 8,000

By train

Express trains to Jakarta take around 8 hours. Other trains take longer, 

sometimes much longer. Express trains serving Solo include Argo Lawu, Argo Dwipangga, Bima and Gajayana expresses (to/from Jakarta, all AC), Argo Wilis and Lodaya (to/from Bandung), Argo Wilis and Sancaka (to/from Surabaya).

The main station is Solobalapan. Other stations are present, i.e. Purwosari and Solojebres, but only used for ekonomi and local services to Yogyakarta.
