Located in the heart of Java is the iconic Yogyakarta, home to the magnificent Borobudur. With its all-year-round summer weather, the things you can do here are limitless! Spend your days exploring the ruins of Borobudur and Prambanan, visit the charming Taman Sari, or make your way to Kalibiru National Park and get some of the most photo-worthy shots deserving of your social media feed.

For the kiddos, they’ll enjoy the wayang kulit (shadow puppets) performance at Sonobudoyo Museum. Continue your evening by riding a bicycle-car at Alun-Alun Kidul where old Volkswagen cars have been gutted and fitted with benches and bicycles inside.
