Yogyakarta is best known for its classical Javanese arts and culture, from ballet, batik and wayang puppetry to literature, music and silversmithing. In south-central Java, this royal city remains Indonesia’s only monarchy-ruled city and an important centre for traditional creativity. Its large student population and many schools and universities, including prestigious Gadjah Mada University, also give Yogyakarta a strong educational character.
