What to do?
Kraton

- The Kraton itself is fine, but nothing fantastic.
- Opening hours : Mon-Thurs (8.00 AM – 14.00 PM) – Friday (8.00 AM – 11.00 AM) – closed during traditional ceremony and festival days.
- Price : 7500 Rp
- A lot of cultural events take place here like the Ramayana Ballet, Gamelan & Wayang Golek performances. Entrance is free (you will still have to pay the Kratonentrance). These performances are not like the "fake-one" held in hotels.
- Only the best dancers may perform here and are recruited by the Sultan’s wive.

Classical dance
Kraton (Sultan palace), on Sunday between 10.30 AM – 12.00 AM

Gamelan traditional music
Kraton (Sultan palace), on Monday and Wednesday between 10.30 AM – 12.00 AM

Water castle (Taman Sari)
- The former swimming pool of the sultan and his harem. Nowadays it’s just a glimpse of what it has been. Could have been more interesting with some decent restoration.
- Opening hours : Mon-Thurs (8.00 AM – 15.30 PM) – Friday (8.00 AM – 11.00 AM)
- Price : 1000 Rp

Birdmarket (pasar Ngasem)
Selling of birds, bats, dogs, cats, monkeys, mice,….Interesting but animals are living in cramped conditions.
Opening hours : Daily (9.00 AM – 16.00 PM)

Kota gede
It’s a suburb of Yogya. The home of the silver industry. In the workshops, you can see the whole process (melting silver and producing of silver jewellery/statues.)

Bat
Ik
- Design : It’s very hard to find any traditional batik. Almost everything is some kind of "artwork" with yelling colours. Not my taste in fact.
- Touts : Walking around in Yogya you will be definitely approached by men who start up a conversation ending up in "I know a very cheap batikshop". Going with them means that they collect a commission when you buy something in that shop. No need to follow them, plenty of shops enough.
- Prices : Before start buying something it’s best to visit shops with fixed prices so you can make up price-settings. A traditional coton batik (75cm x 95cm) is about 40.000 Rp. A traditional silk batik (100cm X 120cm) is 250.000 Rp.
- Shops with fixed rates are:
- Batik Margaria, jl.A. Yani (Malioboro) nr. 69
- Ramai Shopping Mall Lantai, Jl. A. Yani
- Bargaining : It’s essential. You can reduce the price with 50 till 75 %. Consider it as a game.
- Where:
- Jalan Tirtodipuran : Here are several shops where you can also watch the process of making batik.
- Malioboro street
- Inside the Kraton : Several art shops. One of them is S. Kampek (batik art studio) at Ngadisuryan KT. I/172. He has silk batiks and some with traditional design. His prices can be reduced by 75 % !!.

Jalan Malioboro / Jalan A Yani
- The main shopping street in Yogya, starts at the train station and almost ends up to the Kraton.
- Tip : The shop J.B. NOVI, Jl. A Yani 27. They sell second hand wayang golek puppets and music instruments.

Hola,
Alguien que conozca el Novotel Jogya y la zona en que se encuentra, si por la noche es segura para andar y si hay restaurantes/tiendas por la misma para cenar/almorzar. ¿Está muy lejos de Malioboro St. Para ir andando, cuánto me puede costar un taxi desde Malioboro St. Hata el hotel?
Estoy entre este y el Ibis Malioboro, que es más céntrico pero también más caro, y no sé si es ruidoso por la zona en que se encuentra.
Preguntar además si sabeis cuánto se tarda en taxi desde el centro al aeropuerto.
GRACIAS.
