08:00
Stand at the Tugu Monument. Look up at the golden cylinder spire, which replaced the original sphere during the colonial era. It is the central point of the city, so take a moment to orient yourself.
08:09
Walk nine minutes to The House of Raminten for breakfast. Order jamu godhog, a traditional herbal drink, or other Javanese dishes. The restaurant opens at 08:00, so you will be there right when it starts serving.
08:42
Head to Ruang Terbuka Hijau, a public green space about a 36-minute walk from the monument. It is a quiet place to rest, watch the local community, and enjoy the open air away from the busy streets.
Local tip
Ruang Terbuka Hijau is a large open area. If you want to explore more, Taman Pintar Yogyakarta is also nearby to the south, but it requires a longer walk.
