Lonely Planet Indonesia: Detailed Itineraries | Travel Like a Local | Insider Tips | Covers Java, Bali, Sumatra, Papua, and more (Travel Guide)

Another great guide from Lonely Planet which we used extensively on our trip

Perfect for planning our trip to Indonesia - I like that they go to the out-of-the-way places as well as the better known spots.

Good book.

I am a regular user of lonely planet and I feel really disappointed with this travel book. It doesn't give any information how to get to places, about public transportation such as train or buses, accommodation,eating and entertainment. It gives a superficial description of the places. I don't think I will buy again any new edition book from Lonely planet

Great, thank you. 🙏🏻

This was a Christmas gift for our grandson, he has found it very useful x

Not very much useful information here. The editors seem to have decided to go for a vibes-based book rather than the detailed information that has been available in previous Lonely Planets that I’ve used. The sections on getting around are massively inadequate, there are a limited selection of venues mentioned, and there is no history section, opting instead for a “local stories” section which doesn’t give any flavour of the wealth and variety of the country’s culture and history. All in all not very useful and I will think much more carefully before buying Lonely Planet again.

The great value of Lonely Planet has been as a guide for independent travellers, giving detailed information about how to do things and function in a country, as opposed to traditional guide books of pretty pictures and info about tourist sites. Unfortunately LP has started shifting towards the latter. They now look prettier, but crucial information can be lacking. This edition largely lacks the very useful "getting there and away" sections, along with other information.

大規模書店に在庫がなく、また価額もこちらの方が安かった。

Empty. Nothing. Avoid. Get an old edition.

I backpacked through Europe in the 90's with nothing but a Lonely Planet Europe guide. It was a life saver! And for it's time, it was amazing. But over the past few years I've found myself caring less about pages and pages of restaurants, hotels and places to do laundry, and more about general guidance on what a particular place has to offer and how to make the most of my time there. That's why I think the new format of the Lonely Planet guides is perfect for today... I'm generally always connected to the internet on my trips overseas these days so finding up to date information is easy. It would be a waste (IMO) to spend half of a guide book describing places and things that might not even be there in a month or year. Instead I think the new format is much better if you're trying to figure out how to maximize your limited travel time making the best memories possible. I own both the 2021 and 2024 Indonesia guide and I've honestly gotten the most use out of the latter. I've actually bought a number of other newer Lonely Planet guides for upcoming trips just because I like the new format better!

Talvez por ser nova edição teve 1 mês de atraso. Mas chegou em condições e rápido obrigada

Very helpful. I love lonely planet guide books all the information is at your finger tips. Really helps with planning a holiday to a place where youve never been. Ive used them for south America, Scottland, Ireland, The US and Mexico. I fins the information reliable and uptodate.
