The Place
Yogyakarta, Indonesia
City introduction
Java's cultural capital — Borobudur at dawn, Prambanan at dusk. Yogyakarta is the soul of Java: the Sultan's active kraton, batik workshops, countryside of rice paddies and volcanoes — and the two greatest ancient sites in Southeast Asia, Borobudur and Prambanan, within an hour's drive. Cheap, walkable in patches, and the best-value culture trip in Indonesia.
