Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, the seat of the mighty Javanese empire

of Mataram from which present day Yogyakarta has the best inherited of traditions. The city itself has a
special charm, which seldom fails to captivate the visitor. Gamelan, classical and contemporary Javanese
dances, leather puppet, theater and other expressions of traditional art will keep the visitor spellbound.
Local craftsmen excel in arts such batiks, silver and leather works. Next to the traditional, contemporary
art has found fertile soil in Yogya's culture oriented society.
Yogyakarta is often called the main gateway to the Central Java as where it is geographically
located. It stretches from Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean. There is daily air service to Yogya from
Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali as well as regular train service and easy accessibility by road. Yogyakarta is
commonly considered as the modern cultural of Central Java. It is a very lively city and a shopper's delight.
The main road, Malioboro Street, is always crowded and famous for its night street food-culture and street
vendors. Many tourist shops and cheap hotels are concentrated along this street or in the adjoining tourist
area such Sosrowijayan Street.
The key attraction of Yogyakarta is 'Kraton' (the Sultan's Palace), the centre of Yogya's traditional
life and despite the advance of modernity; it still emanates the spirit of refinement, which has been the
hallmark of Yogya's art for centuries. This vast complex of decaying buildings was built in the 18th century,
and is actually a walled city within the city with luxurious pavilions and in which the current Sultan still
resides. Yogyakarta is also the only major city, which still has traditional 'Becak' (rickshaw-style) transport.
