Keep watching for things to do in Yogyakarta city! The Yogyakarta Special Region of Java Indonesia is special for good reason, it truly is the cultural heartland of Java. But before you head out to the famous temples of Borobudur & Prambanan make sure you spend at least 1 day exploring the city centre of Yogjakarta, you won't be dissapointed! 

In this video I vlog my way through the streets of Yogyakarta, or Jogja as it is affectionately referred to, starting with a visit to the Sultans Palace and Taman Sari (The Water Castle or Water Gardens) which are just off Alun Alun Kidul Square. While I am in this famous Jogja square I also try my luck at waking blind between the two Banyan Trees, before checking out Molioboro Street which has an amazing market and street food at night, and finally no tour of Yogyakarta city would be complete without seeing Alun Alun Kidul Square at night, truly an amazing not to be missed sight!
