Yogyakarta City Sightseeing - Borobudur Tour

Start the day with Yogyakarta for city tour. The first visit will be the Sultan’s Palace, also known as ‘Keraton’. Build between 1756 – 1790, Keraton is a fine example of traditional Javanese sultanate architecture. Proceed to visit the adjacent water temple Taman Sari. This addition to the royal complex was built over 200 years ago by the first Sultan with bathing pools for his harem.

After lunch at local restaurant, continue drive to Borobudur Temple, explore this massive Buddhist Temple- the largest in the world- and discover the incredible history behind its construction. Comprised of thousands of volcanic and river stone blocks, the temple was assembled entirely by human labor and took more than 75 years to complete. These days, the UNESCO Heritage site is still visible in its full glory- with magnificent carvings and an unusual, yet surprisingly beautiful bulk structure. Continue to nearby Buddhist temple, Pawon and Mendut.
