Estuary Cafe in Yogyakarta is a hidden gem that combines great coffee with stunning architecture. The coffee here is top-notch, with rich flavors that hit the spot. Whether you're into espresso or prefer a creamy latte, they've got you covered. But what really drew me to Estuary is its brutalist architecture. The sleek lines and minimalist design create a modern and unique atmosphere that's unlike other cafes in the city. The concrete walls and industrial accents give it a cool, urban vibe. Plus, the natural light streaming in through the large windows adds to the ambience. If you're a coffee aficionado that also appreciates good design, Estuary Cafe is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight I'd love to visit Hong Kong for its vibrant culture, stunning skyline, and delicious cuisine. From bustling markets to tranquil temples, there's so much to explore. Plus, the fusion of Eastern and Western influences creates a unique and dynamic atmosphere that's truly captivating.

This place is very comfortable to hang out with friends. the food and beverage menu is varied and reasonably priced. the facilities are also complete, there are toilets and prayer rooms. the place is clean and spacious to enjoy. many tenants are sold outside such as bread, ice cream etc. many photo spots that are certainly instagramable. if it's a good afternoon, you can enjoy it while chilling and chatting casually.

You can find villas in Jogja with private pools that are comfortable, exotic, and offer a homely atmosphere, at Kanjeng Heritage Home Jogja by Raminten. A traditional style meets bohemian style. the service is also friendly, recommended for those who are looking for a contemporary villa with a bohemian white feel. Feels like home. That's the right word to describe this villa.

We flew from Russia specifically to see the world's most ancient treasures, Borobudur and Pranbanan, located near Yogyakarta. One day for both temples. Independently. By public transport. In comfort. Both temples are approximately 12 centuries old, 50 years apart. This miracle, saved from Dutch plunder, was only a volcanic eruption. "Every cloud has a silver lining," as the Russian proverb goes. For 300 years, the East Indian Company mercilessly exported everything from this region, exploiting the local population. A small competition between two powerful dynasties 12 centuries ago helped build two wonders of the world, 40 km apart: Borobudur (Buddhist Sailendra dynasty) and Pranbanan (Hindu Saijaya dynasty). So, the goal is defined. Means of implementation: public transportation – a bus. The easiest way to find a bus to Borobudur is on Malioboro Street near the Bank of Indonesia, a huge white Moorish-style building with two towers. Buses depart from this stop approximately every half hour. The bus takes about an hour, is very comfortable, small, seats about 15 people, and makes virtually no stops. The bus costs 20,000 rupiah (100 rubles). The bus terminal is near the Borobudur Temple (about 2 km), and rickshaws also take you to the temple for 20,000 rupiah. Entrance to the Borobudur Temple complex costs 400,000 rupiah (2,000 rubles). Mini groups are formed inside and given special flip-flops. Free electric cars drive around the grounds. A guided tour of the temple is free. We were assigned a guide who gave us a wonderful hour-long tour. Borobudur is a materialized mandala of the "cosmic dream of Buddha," inviting everyone not only to emerge from this dream but to awaken to its true nature—boundless, empty, luminous, and free from fear. The mandala is structured on three levels. 1. Scenes of worldly passions and karma on the hidden foundation—this is the densest, "nightmare" layer of the universal dream, in which beings are completely absorbed in illusion. 2. Reliefs of scenes of Prince Sujana. There are over 1,300 reliefs and 432 Buddha statues in niches. 3. The world without form. Looking through the stone lattice at the Buddha statue inside is a moment of enlightened vision: you are still in the relative world (you see forms), but your perception has changed. You see the empty nature of all phenomena. · Central Stupa - Awakening from Sleep: The emptiness in the center represents the final awakening, transcending the very metaphor of sleep. It is a state that cannot be described by form or symbol (Nirvana). It is the realization of what "cosmic sleep" is. We spent two hours in Borobudur and returned to the bus terminal by 12:00. A comfortable minibus took us directly to Pranbanan in 1.5 hours for 35,000 rupees (175 rubles). Pranbanan. Entrance fee: 400,000 rupees (2,000 rubles). The grounds are large. The Sanjaya dynasty, with the construction of the temple, declared a manifesto of their return to Hinduism. The temple walls are decorated with carved stone bas-reliefs from the Ramanayama tradition. Three main temples = trimurti, the main gods: Shiva (the main, largest), Vishnu, Brahma. Cosmological symbol: The complex is a model of the universe in the Hindu understanding. Tall, pointed temples (shikharas) symbolize the sacred Mount Meru—the center of the universe, the abode of the gods. The three gods are responsible for the cycle of creation: Brahma (creation), Vishnu (preservation), Shiva (destruction/transformation). Their unity is the foundation of the cosmic order. Inside the main Shiva temple is a four-armed statue of Shiva. Important: also here (with separate entrances) are statues of his consort Durga, his teacher Agastya, and Ganesha. Like Borobudur, Prambanan is a three-dimensional mandala. But if Borobudur is a Buddhist mandala leading to a state beyond form, then Prambanan is a Hindu mandala affirming the hierarchical structure of the universe. Thanks to two female students doing an internship for the tour of the complex. Near Prambanan is the train station. A comfortable commuter train took us to the central station of Yogyakarta for 40,000 rupees (200 rubles). Fast and comfortable. 3 round concentrators symbolizing reality.

Prambanan Temple is the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia and one of the most beautiful in Southeast Asia. It was built during the reign of Rakai Pikatan of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom and dedicated to the Trimurti: Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Preserver), and Shiva (the Destroyer). This temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The legend of Roro Jonggrang originates from this temple complex. Best photo spot: The bench under the tree not far from the exit. Tips: To visit Sewu Temple and other temples, you can rent a bicycle or an electric bike. This allows you to explore the area faster, especially when the weather is very hot.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip ⸻ 🌄 Recommended Points • Spectacular Viewpoint This elevated spot offers panoramic views of Prambanan Temple, Mount Merapi Volcano, and the expansive countryside. The scenery, set against the backdrop of rising morning mist and sunset skies, is truly picturesque. Its visual appeal is so impressive that it even received a high rating in the Scientific Landscape Evaluation (SBE) score. • Local Attraction The name derives from the local "Riyadi's Garden." Once privately owned, this spot has now evolved into a popular photo spot for locals and photography enthusiasts. Its casual, rustic atmosphere is also appealing.

#springitinerary We booked a table in advance on Instagram for Tuesday evening at 6 PM, since most shops and attractions in Yogyakarta are closed on Mondays. We rode motorbikes up the mountain, and I have to say, be very careful riding at night on those winding roads! When we arrived, there weren’t many people. There are two seating options priced at 75k IDR and 125k IDR — we chose the 75k one, which was more than enough. The night view was nice, but honestly, I think it would be much better during the day. The staff were attentive and friendly, which was a plus. But the food? Honestly, it was just okay — nothing special. So if you’re planning a trip just for the food, I’d say it’s not really worth it. But if you happen to be passing by Prambanan, then it’s worth stopping by for the views. #StunningViewRestaurant #Yogyakarta #Indonesia #IndonesianEats

Take advantage of the rare Dragon Boat Festival holiday and plan a trip to Yogyakarta. Ratu Boko Palace, located about 17 kilometers from Yogyakarta city center, is an ancient palace site on Java Island. Once the royal palace of the Javanese Kingdom, it boasts a rich history and preserves numerous ancient architectural relics to this day. The architectural style of Ratu Boko Palace blends elements of Hinduism and Buddhism, with the main palace building and surrounding walls being the most prominent features. The stone carvings and reliefs within the palace showcase the art and religious beliefs of the time. The best time to visit is during sunset, when the palace's flat surfaces reflect the jungle and sky, creating a picturesque scene perfect for photography. It's an ideal destination for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

A cozy coffee shop to hang out in Jogja! The place is not big, but it has a warm atmosphere that makes you feel at home. You must stop by here if you are in Jogja, especially if you are around Sleman. Has anyone ever stopped by here? [TIGA BY KANCA] gg.

referensikopi Lately, coffee shops with a mid-century modern concept have been popular, not only because they present a warm atmosphere but also because they are very aesthetic and nostalgic. Like the one we just visited some time ago, the name of the place is @jovincojogja, which we have been following for a long time. When we found out they opened a coffee shop, we were quite excited considering their vintage furniture products which would be very interesting if combined in a coffee shop. Sure enough, when we first entered, we were amazed by the concept and selection of knick-knacks in it. Warm and made to dissolve in the atmosphere. The surrounding environment is also supportive. Beautiful, calm, even the sound of the gurgling river next door can still be heard. The location is around Ngemplak Sleman, to put it simply, around the northern area of Maguwoharjo stadium. If from the city it is indeed quite far, fortunately yesterday I used Yamaha Grand Filano, the petrol didn't feel reduced, bringing a lot of luggage is also not a problem because the trunk is spacious Just come straight away!

It’s a wonderful place to learn about Javanese culture and enjoy nature at the same time.

Joglo Limasan hidden coffee shop concept tropical not far from Sambisari Temple. If you are bored of drinking coffee in the same place, Looks like you can try this place. The location is not very far from the city but it already has quite a different atmosphere. So the story was yesterday when I was walking around in the Kalasan area with #YamahaGrandFilano accidentally found it This cute place, the atmosphere is really calm view of rice fields which is integrated with the concept. Besides that concept, they complement it with menus that are quite worthit. We have made a complete beta here. Motorbikes from the city to Kalasan don't feel like there's less fuel because the Filano is really economical + the trunk is spacious so you're free to carry a lot of things.

The location is still the same but this time with a different new building. The name of the place is @kanarisocietyandspace which is precisely on Jl. Cempaka Baru, Condongcatur, Sleman. The location is a bit off the main road which makes it difficult This place is calm and conducive, the buildings are quite small Enter from the street position with a wide space in front so the parking area is super large. When you enter you are immediately greeted with an indoor area which is quite spacious with lots of seating options. This area can be used for doing homework or just hanging out casually with friends. Continuing in the back area there is a semi indoor and outdoor which is no less comfortable, this area is more suitable for those of you who want to relax while enjoying the atmosphere. Oh yes they also have 2 decent meeting rooms and comfortable yeah!
