The Palace of Yogyakarta

5 Y M - 4 weeks ago

I guess this place is one of the top want-to-visit sites in your list in Yogyakarta. Little bit too wide to look around thoroughly but you can feel quietness and coolness inside.

It's almost like an open-air park. I don't know whether it's really worth visiting for all, but only if you have a bit or more of curiosity on Indonesian culture, maybe it's worth spending some time on it and tick the list.

Some places are not allowed to even enter, but it seems okay to enter into because it is just open. As a result, a staff runs to me and gets very angry in Indonesian language. You'd better show a warning sign in English!

If you want to take some photos, it costs you Rp. 1000.

There is an official guide you can hire for free, but mine was non-English speaker. If an English-speaking guide, my experience was more exciting?

The palace seems to be grouped into two paid sections. Both cost 15 K to enter. The first includes the royal carriages and an inside area with some artefacts. This is located opposite the parade ground. Going to the second palace, it includes more of the outside areas which will entertain some people. It's all oddly cool on the second location outside

The palace is divided into closed and opened areas for the public. In the opened area, we can enjoy the buildings, vehicles, clothes, equipments used by the palace in ancient times. If you're lucky, you can meet "abdi dalem" and see art performances by local performers

Very great museum! Must visit if you are in Yogyakarta and looking for museum or history place. I visited The Palace of Yogyakarta for three times. The complex is a center of javanese culture, and contains a museum displaying royal artifacts.

Keraton Yogyakarta, Historical Place

This review is written after I visited the palace on June 26th, 2022
The ticket was Rp15k/person
There were tour guides you can use with alms payment
Areas were divided into two: restricted and unrestricted areas for visitors
Sadly they restricted the area upstairs, so visitors are limited to only browsing the hall with antique wagons and inside the building.

I came here almost in every Wednesday and Saturday to see puppet show. On Sunday to see traditional dance performance. Most of the time i came to bring my guest as a tour guide. As a visitor sometimes i came in here not in the weekend and just bring myself to understand more and study more from what i have learned. It is such a great place in the center of Yogyakarta to see place where Jogja's king live. This place just have a calm vibes and peaceful. The trees there and the servants who work in here they are so proud. The building designed was so nice. It is a quite big palace actually because there are a lot to see and learn in this palace. So when you come here dont in rush or just for photo. But look and enjoy it the historical place as Jogja palace.
