Yogyakarta: experiences, food & travel notes

Leave room for the city and one major temple complex. Choose Borobudur or Prambanan rather than forcing both major sites into a single day.

Area tip · Allow for the airport transfer

YIA needs a separate transfer window. Avoid a distant temple visit immediately before the flight home; verify admission times and site access for your travel date.
