How to Plan a Day Out The good day trips from Magelang climb into the hills on either side of the city, and few are on a bus route. Hire a car with a driver for the day, or ride a scooter only if you are comfortable on steep, wet mountain roads. Set off early: clouds usually close in over the volcano tops by late morning, and the rainy season (roughly November to March) brings afternoon storms.
