Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta (some people call Yogyakarta, Jogjakarta, or Yogya) is a city famous for the historical and cultural heritage. Yogyakarta is a center of Mataram kingdom (1575-1640), and until now have Kraton (Palace), which is still functioning in the real sense. Yogyakarta also has many temples that are thousands of years old is the residual kingdoms of antiquity, including the Borobudur Temple was built in the 9th century dynasty by dynasty.

In addition to cultural heritage, Yogyakarta has beautiful natural panorama. Sawah nan green carpet wrap rural areas with the Mount Merapi appears as a backdrop. Beaches that are still easily found naturally in the south of Yogyakarta.

Community living here in peace and have a unique hospitality. Try to encircle the city with a bicycle, pedicab, or carriage, you will find a sincere smile and a warm greeting in every corner of the city. Without you realize, suddenly will feel like you are at home.

Atmosphere feels so art in Jogja. Malioboro, which is intravenously Jogja, dibanjiri craft items from all directions. Street musicians are always ready to entertain visitors stall-stall lesehan.

Many people who visited the city of Jogja said that I was always nostalgic. Have to here, you will surely understand the reason.
