Malioboro in the Night, the city of Yogyakarta

Labels:

,

    Located near both Borobudur and Prambanan, the city of Yogyakarta (pronounced Jogjakarta) is the undisputed tourism capital of Java. Yogyakarta is ruled by a sultan, currently the honorable Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, and you can see his kraton (which means palace) in the middle of the city. Yogyakarta has a small-city feel to it, and you'll even see horse-drawn carriages on the main street Jalan Malioboro. If you have some time to spare visit the Fort Vredeburg, a fortress left by the Dutch which dates back to 1765.
