so, if you don't know, this is one of the MOST WANTED tourist activity in Yogyakarta, why? you ask, because you can go around the city with panoramic bus, FOR FREE. Here's the catch: good luck doing your reservation, because it'll always be booked. but thankfully, i worked in this—government office, so i (on behalf of the office) can join the trip. We were actually doing a study tour before our department held this exhibition for Yogyakarta Philosophical Axis to support The Philosophical Axis as World Heritage.
we started the tour at the meeting point, which the Dinas Kebudayaan DIY, our route was: Tugu Yogyakarta — 0 km — Sonobudoyo Museum (just to take pictures) — Alun-alun Lor — Alun-alun Kidul — Plengkung Gading — Panggung Krapyak. There are several route that you can choose on the website, but little did I know, the tour that I did was the 'Historical Heritage' tour.
We were lead by a guide, she explained all the philosophical thingy from Tugu Yogyakarta to Kraton and from Panggung Krapyak to Kraton. She also explained the trees and vegetation planted in the surrounding area, adding up to the philosophical terms. Since we also explored the main area of Kraton, she also explained the gedong (building) and bangsal (place) inside the Kraton.
We stopped at Sonobudoyo Museum to take pictures (idk why Sonobudoyo was added to the tour, maybe for promotional purposes) and Panggung Krapyak, to actually explored the building (and take pictures too, lol). It was fun and very educational, now I know why it's the most wanted tourist activity in my city.
