Welcome to Yogyakarta
A hub of traditional Indonesian culture on the island of Java, Yogyakarta (or “Yogya” for short) is an ideal jumping-off point for exploring archeological sites such as Prambanan and Borobudur. Visitors can also take a guided tour of historic buildings, temples, and monuments, including the Kraton Complex and Water Castle; or catch a show—Javanese dance, puppetry, and music are all popular options. And with beaches, caves, and mountains all within driving distance, you won’t be short on options for things to do in Yogyakarta, one of the region’s oldest cities.
