Water Castle of Royal Jogjakarta

5 Rob H - 4 years ago

Pretty darn amazing. I am not one to normally hire a local to give me a private tour. Maybe I am too proud (or cheap) but I was reluctant to let some random guy off the street walk us through the water castle.

Either way we did let him stick around and tell us the history (or his version of the history). I have to say it was a great decision to walk around with him. He had a plethora to say about each and every room and the rooms function. If he wasn't there I probably would have been guessing at each and every rooms intended role. The tour went easily over an hour and we saw several rooms I would not have seen unless we were following our guide.

The craftsmanship and size of this place was impressive and I am glad we took the time to go out there. It's located a walking distance from the sultan's castle and both could easily be done in the same day. I would recommend coming out to see this.

The most historical place that has a lot of story. There are a lot of local tour guide that you can find to guide you if you need information about the places indeed.
If you like about photography this place is very recommended to be visited because there are a lot of beautiful angles that you can capture. The admission price is cheap for local tourist is around 5k and non local tourist *if I'm not mistaken around 10k rupiah

A nice place for a short visit and walk around the adjacent community. The castle is in poor condition. The community is filled with eateries, artists, and restaurants.

Beautiful heritage site, however there is nothing much here and it was a little bit overrated. Place is small and the crowd is too much

Due to PPKM Level 3 in Yogyakarta, this place has been closed since PPKM Darurat in July. I visited the site with my kids and sadly we are not allowed to enter. Pretty sure nothing has changed inside but, its always fun to bring someone to introduce how majestic is the water castle. Hopefully they soon reopen for tourists
