Cultural gem
Why Yogyakarta
- Borobudur (Buddhist) and Prambanan (Hindu) — two UNESCO World Heritage temples within easy reach
- Absurdly cheap: dorm beds from $3, street food meals for $1, and warung meals for $1–2
- Rich Javanese culture with batik workshops, traditional puppet shows (wayang), and royal palace (Kraton)
Yogyakarta (Jogja) is Indonesia's cultural capital, a city of sultans, batik, street art, and two of the most important ancient temple complexes in Southeast Asia — Borobudur and Prambanan. It is one of the cheapest cities on the backpacker trail in all of Asia, with dorm beds under $5 and full meals for $1. The city is compact, friendly, and endlessly interesting.
