yogyakarta is known as the students' city and the city of culture. people there still do the tradition of their ancestor and mixed them sometimes with the modern things today.
The Keraton Yogyakarta (Sultan's Palace) is one of the great things to see. It's the place where the Sultan (King), also he is the governor, lives with all his family members and the servants called abdi dalem.

I need to have more time next time

This was a brief visit to Jogja, where I was totally amazed with its culture and history. I don't remember the name of the hotel I stayed at but it was right on the famous the Maliboro street, where you can find many markets, and it is close to the Sultan's palace. If you happen to come all the way to this corner of the world, you ...
Prambanan and Borobudur needs no advertising so you wll surely visit this places and see arresting views. Yogya is very busy, crowded and very diffrent vs. Bali. I recommend to take time to sit in a cheap, local warung, have a Javanese rocket fuel coffee and just watch people. Sultan's museum is a great fun, you can see even his shoes and family parties pictures. The music in the palace is no. 1 attraction to me. Recommended.
Yogyakarta is a cultural place i've ever met the atmosphere so peace. I like Malioboro a place to buy souvenir, the beach of Pantai Selatan. But the weather is hot!
