Next, explore Jalan Tirtodipuran, a leafy street filled with antique shops and art galleries and the Kota Gede district of Yogyakarta, the original capital of the Mataram kingdom, the great 16th- century Muslim kingdom which held sway over most of Java, until the Dutch arrived.

Also, if interested, visit some of the local craft markets and textile studios for which the city is famous.
