Things to Do in Yogyakarta
Plan your days in Yogyakarta, your way
Stay in Prawirotaman, a neighborhood of converted bungalows and quiet cafes where Dutch tourists read novels and the call to prayer echoes between buildings. Walk to the Kraton in the morning, not for the full tour but for the outer courtyards where locals pray and the gamelan players practice within earshot. Lunch at Milas, a vegetarian restaurant in a garden courtyard, then a becak ride to Taman Sari for an hour of wandering the water channels and the old sultan's baths. One afternoon for Borobudur — hire a car or join a small group, climb slowly, let the scale work on you. Dinner on Jalan Malioboro, not at the tourist restaurants but at the angkringan carts where students eat, sitting on plastic stools as the street fills with evening strollers. You wanted a city that reveals itself gradually. This one does.
