Day 1 - Immerse in the Culture

We'll begin our journey with a visit to Kraton Kasunanan, a palace that will lure you in with its grandeur and history—giving you an initial flavor of Surakarta's bygone era. Then, after a quick bite of some authentic Javanese snacks, our adventure takes us to the Triwindu Antique Market. You just might find a perfect souvenir among the vast collection of antiques. Next up is the vibrant Jenar Market, a lure for fashion enthusiasts. The vast array of Batik textiles simply overflows with bright colors and intricate designs. Exhausted yet? No worries, the evening calls for a delicious street-dine experience on Galabo street.

We set sail on a journey of creativity and aesthetic pleasure on day 2, courtesy of the Danar Hadi Museum, renowned for its Batik textile collection and interesting demonstrations. You will feel like a part of the art itself! By noon, we switch scenes to the lush green ambiance of the Grojogan Sewu Waterfall located on the slopes of Mount Lawu. The nature around will give you all the inspiration you need to capture some memorable photos, so don't forget your camera. Close the day savoring the taste of the famous local dish 'Nasi Liwet' at Warung Omah Bu Ageng.

Day 3 - Experience and Explore

On our last day, we'll immerse ourselves in the spiritual essence of Surakarta by visiting The Grand Mosque of Surakarta, a fine example of traditional Javanese mosque architecture. After a bit of tranquility, why not jump into a cultural performance or theatre show at Sriwedari Amusement Park? Remember to grab your ticket in advance! As the evening descends, we hit the streets of Pasar Gede Hardjonagoro, the biggest traditional market in town. And could we possibly end without trying the famous traditional beverage, 'Wedang Ronde'? Wouldn't you agree it's the perfect sweet conclusion to our adventure?
