Guide to Yogyakarta

map
With a population of over 388,000 people, the city of Yogyakarta is close to Mount Merapi, an active volcano. Well known for its fine art and culture, Yogyakarta is one of the most popular destinations in Java. It's well located for both Borobudur and Prambanam, and in itself has many fine historic landmarks, including Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono's palace, the Tugu Monument and Taman Sari, a former pleasure garden to the sultan. Don't miss a shot at the traditional game of Masangin - very simply you must walk between two ficus trees blindfolded - it sounds easier than it is!
