Things to do in Yogyakarta, Java: The Best Walking Tours

February 15, 2022 Lean Nau

Yogyakarta boasts stunning architecture and a truly spiritual sensibility. The ancient Hindu temples of Prambanan look like hand-drizzled sand castles, while the Sultan's palace is reminiscent of a gilded music box filled with jewels. Known for its arts and handicrafts, Yogyakarta is a cultural hub, a nerve center for traditional and modern puppetry.

I had a great time with Sesawi Tour, who delivered a magnificent experience during this challenging period. The overall experience is one of a kind - the hosts know deep insights, as they are able to connect us directly to the artisans. The wooden mask was, for certain, pretty valuable as a takeout!
