Embung Tambakboyo is a unique attraction in Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It serves as both an important water management facility and a beloved leisure spot for locals. The primary function of this reservoir is to collect and store water from the Tambakboyo and Buntung rivers for ecological purposes such as water conservation, groundwater replenishment, and agricultural irrigation support. Over time, Embung Tambakboyo has evolved beyond its role as a water management facility to become an open public space. A lakeside walking path has been built around it, making it a popular spot for residents to jog, take walks, or cycle as part of their daily exercise routine. In the early morning and evening, visitors can enjoy fresh air, admire the sky's reflection on the water, and take in the majestic views of Mount Merapi in the distance, creating a truly pleasant scenery.

This is a Dutch colonial-era castle that has now been converted into a museum. The architecture of the Vredeburg Fort Museum is worth seeing in its own right. The dioramas here also showcase the history of Yogyakarta. These models seem to be made specifically for Indonesians, as the exhibits lack English explanations.

Very friendly to visit, so can see variety of animals in Indonesia. Don’t know why this attraction spot hasn’t been ranked as top. Highly recommended for people to visit for a day trip! My family and I enjoyed the zoo so much and we’ve seen so many native Indonesian animals as a fordable price!!

One of the economical and romantic tourist destinations at night. Night tours at Bukit Bintang Yogyakarta mainly offer the beauty of the city of Jogja from the top of the hill. Meanwhile, its strategic location is in the hills of Pathuk Gunung Kidul which is the prima donna of night tourism lovers.

It turns out that the mosque is in the middle of a residential area. 1 way to 2 way. The mosque is clean, comfortable, the people are also friendly. There is also a waiting area for those who are not praying. I am very happy to be able to pray at this mosque. Barakallah...
