Plugs: Indonesia uses Type C and F plugs (European 2-pin).

Tipping: Not mandatory but appreciated for good service in restaurants; 5-10% is standard.

Safety: Lombok is culturally conservative; modest dress is recommended outside of beach areas.

Solo Female Safety: Keep to well-lit main roads in Kuta and use official transport apps like Grab for late-night travel.

Connectivity: Grab and Gojek are the primary transport apps; ensure you download them before arrival.

Connectivity: Purchase a local SIM card (e.g., Telkomsel) at the airport for the best coverage across the island.
