Start your journey from Borobudur by taking a local minibus (angkot) from the Borobudur terminal to Magelang. The fare is around IDR 15,000. Once you arrive at Magelang, transfer to another angkot heading towards Windusari. This ride will cost about IDR 10,000. Inform the driver that you want to get off at the stop for Candi Selogriyo. From there, it's a short walk (about 1 kilometer) to the temple entrance, following the signs.

Taxi or Ride-Hailing Service

For a more convenient option, consider booking a taxi or using a ride-hailing app like Gojek or Grab. Simply enter Candi Selogriyo as your destination. The fare may vary, but expect to pay between IDR 100,000 to IDR 150,000, depending on traffic and time of day. This option offers door-to-door service, which can be particularly beneficial for those carrying luggage or traveling in a group.
