Marginally cheaper; always ask for a substantial discount off the marked prices.

Pasar Beringharjo
Yogya’s main market, 800m north of the kraton, is a lively and fascinating place. The renovated front section has a wide range of batik – mostly inexpensive batik cap (stamped batik) – while the 2nd floor is dedicated to cheap clothes and shoes. Most interesting of all, though, is the old section towards the back. Crammed with warungs and stalls selling a huge variety of fruit and vegetables, this is still very much a traditional market. The range of rempah rempah (spices) on the 1st floor is quite something.

Bird Market
At the edge of Taman Sari, Yogya's Bird Market is a colourful menagerie crowded with hundreds of budgerigars, orioles, roosters and singing turtledoves in ornamental cages, but pigeons are the big business here (for training, not eating). Lizards and other small animals are also on sale, as are big trays of bird feed (swarming maggots and ants). From the back of Pasar Ngasem, an alleyway leads up to the broken walls of Taman Sari for fine views across Yogya.
