Yogyakarta is where ancient temples and modern street food live side by side — and somehow, it all makes sense. Visit the majestic Hindu Prambanan and the serene Buddhist Borobudur, both UNESCO-listed and wildly photogenic. Then swap temples for adventure and lower yourself into Jomblang Cave, where a beam of sunlight turns the earth into a spotlight.

IDEAL FOR: travellers who love their history with a side of sambal, and don’t mind getting a little muddy to find the light.
