Exchange Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) online before travelling to Indonesia
A trip to Indonesia is a dream come true. To ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable journey, it's best to plan as much as possible in advance. For example, we recommend setting a budget before your departure. This helps you manage your future expenses more easily. It’s also wise to familiarise yourself with the local currency. In Indonesia, the local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). For day-to-day spending, cash is still a very common method of payment. That’s why it’s a good idea to exchange Swedish Krona (SEK) to IDR ahead of time to simplify your payments. Don’t forget to check the exchange rate before you travel to ensure you’re getting the best deal available.

Some suggestions for your trip
Bali is Indonesia’s most visited island – and one of the most beautiful.
During your stay, consider visiting the Monkey Forest in Ubud, the beach resort of Kuta, the village of Canggu, the highlands of Kintamani, the town of Candidasa, and the stunning West Bali National Park.
Don’t miss Jakarta, the Indonesian capital – with its park, zoo and the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah cultural complex.
Lombok, another paradise island, is a must-see – and the nearby Gili Islands are among the most beautiful in the country.
Canggu village isn’t particularly well known or frequented, but it offers a much more relaxing atmosphere than Bali’s larger cities – perfect if you’re after some peace and quiet during your trip.
