Yogyakarta is most known for its natural charm, with its mountains and beautiful views. Nowadays, it is a hotspot for the latest hangout areas where people can take pictures for Instagram. That does not lessen its charm, but adds to it as it is a fusion of both natural charm and modern entertainment centers. Either way, everyone will be able to choose a holiday destination depending on preference to refresh their minds.
