The Lombok City Guides answer what every first-timer asks: where to eat proper Sasak food without being floored by the chilli, which waterfalls justify the long drive north, how to reach the Gili islands on the cheap public boat and where the evening goes in Kuta and on Gili Trawangan. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or bring and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Nasi Balap Puyung Inaq Esun
Puyung, Central Lombok
The plate that put Puyung on the map: rice under a heap of shredded, chilli-hot fried chicken, crunchy soybeans and a sambal with real bite. Locals pull over here on the way south, and so should you. From the food guide.
Islamic Center NTB – Hubbul Wathan Great Mosque
Jl. Udayana, Mataram
Lombok’s largest mosque, white with six minarets, and a lookout high up the main tower over the whole city. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times, with robes handed out at the door. From the things to do guide.
Lombok Wildlife Park
Sire, North Lombok
A rescue park north of Senggigi where kids get close to elephants, orangutans, a hippo and plenty of birds, with animal feeding along the way. Set aside half a day. From the family guide.
Plan your days with the guides
On day one, stay in the south: sunrise on Bukit Merese, a swim at Mawun or Selong Belanak, a Sasak lunch and live music in Kuta after dark. On day two, take the public boat from Bangsal to Gili Air, snorkel off the west coast and stay for a sunset drink. On a rainy or slow day, keep to Mataram: the state museum, Pasar Cakranegara, Mayura Park and charcoal-grilled ayam taliwang for dinner.
