Must-see attractions in Central Java

  • Semarang Harbour

    Semarang

    Semarang harbour is worth a look to see the pinisi (schooners) and other traditional oceangoing vessels that dock at Tambak Lorok.

  • Mesjid Besar

    Semarang

    Facing the Pasar Johar market, Semarang's Grand Mosque is the main, although obviously far from the only, focus of worship in the city.

  • Mesjid Besar

    Yogyakarta

    This central, open-air mosque, built in a traditional Javanese architectural style, is the largest in the city.

  • Candi Dwarawati

    Central Java

    The restored Candi Dwarawati is on the northern outskirts of Dieng village.

  • Kretek Museum

    Central Java

    This lonely, shabby old compound has some exhibits on the history of kretek (clove cigarette) production, including some old photographs and machinery…

  • Gedung Negara

    Yogyakarta

    The seat of power in the Yogya region, this imposing modern-classical complex is closed to the public but makes a good landmark on Jl A Yani.
