• Practical Information

  

  Although located on the main island of Java, Yogyakarta is actually far from capital Jakarta and boasts its own prosperous local economy. People are friendly and happy to help you out, so don't hesitate to ask for advice or help if you want. 

  Due to the many tourists in the area, the people of Yogyakarta are quite used to Western clothing and manners. But do still make sure to respect the local customs. Yogyakarta, as most of Indonesia, follows Islam and you should therefore dress modestly when out in public. Also, avoid taking pictures of government and military buildings, especially if you see any security personnel outside. And do not ever, under any circumstance buy, sell or use drugs while in Indonesia. Even minor offences can easily risk you several years of prison time and for more severe offences, Indonesia has the death penalty. 

  If you take these few precautions and make sure to behave respectfully, you are guaranteed an amazing and unique experience. Yogyakarta is among the most fascinating places in Asia and deserves your attention now more than ever.
