This is the most famous and interesting tourism destination in Yogyakarta. Kraton is still owned and operated by the original founding family. It is wedged between North and South fields where two banyan trees sprout on each. The entry fee to Kraton is Rp.5.000 and once your are inside you can purchase a picture permit for Rp.1000. What a cheap rate!

Inside Kraton you will find many heritage carts which have a very high artistic quality, old dresses which were used by abdi ndalem (servants), soldiers and the royal family, batik workshop, a traditional dance and musical stage for daily performance, and some more cultural heritage. The building is located exactly on the direction of Malioboro Street. A unique aspect of Kraton is this building stands in a line with South Sea, Yogyakarta Monument and Mount Merapi.
