We went to Kraton without a guide book because we thought we would get a guide that explained everything to us. We did get a guide, but he only took us to the front pavilllions. Only later did we find out that we had not seen much of the palace such as the private rooms and the carriages. All this... More

The buildings were nice, nothing too spectacular. But our guide was great for explaining the significance of buildings and displays. Mostly, it appears to be a shrine to HB #9 - numerous displays of his belongings, childhood toys, papers, books, and displays on all the things he did during his reign.

She guided us through the different buildings that housed displays about the former sultans and she had... More

I was told that this was a "palace" before visiting. I had seen Borobodur, Prambanan, and some buildings in Yogyakarta such as the Bank Indonesia building. So, as you can imagine, I was expecting a real palace! Unfortunately, Kraton is a humble little open area with some old pagodas. There's nothing royal about it. In fact, I was embarrassed on... More
