Central Yogyakarta, with Jalan Malioboro and the Sultan's palace (Kraton), lies about 43 km east of the airport, which was built on the coast of Kulon Progo regency rather than in the city. The road route runs inland to Wates and then follows the main Jalan Raya Wates through Sentolo, crossing the Progo river and entering the city from the west along Jalan Wates. Without heavy traffic the drive takes 45 minutes to an hour; the western approach and the streets around Malioboro are often congested in the late afternoon and at weekends.
Jalan Malioboro runs north to south from the Tugu monument area past Beringharjo market and Fort Vredeburg to the Zero Kilometre point, beyond which lie the Alun-Alun Utara square and the Kraton. The Taman Sari water castle is a short distance south-west of the palace. Yogyakarta Tugu railway station sits at the northern end of Malioboro, with the guesthouse lanes of Sosrowijayan beside it, while Prawirotaman, south of the Kraton, has many smaller hotels. Parts of Malioboro are periodically closed to motor traffic, so cars stop on the nearest side street.
Public transport instead: Railink (KA Bandara YIA) train Yogyakarta International Airport - Wates - Yogyakarta (Tugu) from Yogyakarta International Airport station to Yogyakarta (Tugu) station — about 39 min.
