Yogyakarta Travel Blog
Yogyakarta is regarded as the cultural capital of Indonesia. It is home of two UNESCO sites built in the 9th century, Borobudur and Prambanan. Borobudur is one of the largest Buddhist temples in the world while Prambanan is a series of Hindu temples committed to the Trimurti Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Outside these heritage sites, Jogja remains largely unspoiled by tourism leaving you with an authentic and immersive Indonesian cultural experience. It’s rare to see buildings over two stories and the city is big on street food and street markets. A refreshing change from the branded shops that clog up Orchard Road.
