Have you planned to vacation in Jogja in the near future? My writing this time will give a real picture about Jogja at the time of day off.
Jogja is indeed one of the favorite cities to fill the holidays. Many things that captivate tourists when visiting Jogja, ranging from cultural tourism, village tours, beautiful beaches, and a series of delicious culinary that will spoil your taste buds. DIY Government (Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta) also seems to seriously work on this tourism sector by building a lot of tourism supporting infrastructure. No doubt now Jogja increasingly become the target of tourists to visit.
But you do not be surprised if a visit to Jogja is not as in-image, Jogja is now changed a lot. Congestion began to occur at some point, especially when the weekend and holiday has arrived, so many expressions for people who live in Jogja even reluctant to travel when the weekend because of lazy facing congestion.
Congestion usually starts from Magelang Street if you are from the north, then on Jalan Solo if you travel from the east, Godean Road if you are from the west and on Jalan Parangtritis if you are from the south. Especially in the city center of congestion is inevitable again because of the increased volume of vehicles.
If you really want to travel in Jogja should make a list of location visits and strategies to visit. Selecting multiple tourist destinations in one area becomes one of the strategies to prevent wasting time on the road because it is stuck in traffic.
For example, if you decide to travel to the city center during the day you can choose to visit the museums that are scattered at some point in the city of Jogja, or visit the Palace. Or you can also explore traditional ethnic and food hunts at Beringharjo Market. When the afternoon arrives, you can enjoy the culinary around the South Square or walk a little until the Corner Corner, there you will get a beautiful view to enjoy the sunset.
If your choice to the white sand beaches in Gunungkidul should take time all day. If you want a maximum come in the morning and do not forget to stop by breakfast by tasting soup typical Java Gunungkidul to fill the energy before the beach. The many beach options lined along the south coast will make you not bored to explore it.
Or if you want to find a cool air, can visit the north, which is the area around Mount Merapi. There not only visit Kaliurang or do Lava Tour with Jeep ride but now many new tourist destinations that you should try.
