Understand

Probolinggo is the nearest town of any size to Mount Bromo.

Get in

Buses from Surabaya take around three hours; be sure to go all the way to the main bus terminal, 6 km southwest of the center, instead of getting dropped off at some travel agent (who will pay the driver a commission). Minibuses to Cemoro Lawang, the nearest settlement to Mount Bromo, leave from the terminal and take about an hour and a half.

Purchase any tickets directly at the bus terminal, as the local travel agents are notoriously mercenary and will happily charge you multiples of the real price and/or fake return tickets.
