Transport
For cheap holidays, you also have to be smart looking for cheap tickets. Especially for roundtrip tickets. This time we will calculate the cost of a cheap vacation from Jakarta to Yogyakarta. To get cheap tickets you can search various travel agent applications. Remember! Because this is a cheap holiday, you also have to find economy train tickets at the lowest prices.
So for this article I suggest you visit Yogyakarta in the middle of your Indonesia / Asia trip, so it’ll be cheaper because of the local transport price!
The round ticket price for Jakarta to Yogyakarta is around IDR 150,000 / person.
Hotel
Remember! this time we will have a cheap holiday in Yogyakarta. So whatever is chosen must be the cheapest. For accommodation you can really choose various hotels in the Sosrowijayan alley. There you will get a variety of very cheap hotel choices. Indeed, the hotels in the Sosrowijayan alley are not as fancy as 5-star hotels. But you should know, for cheap holidays, lodging facilities are not important, the most important thing is the convenience of the inn.
Here you will find the hotel you need. For cheap holidays you only need 2 nights. So you just have to book a room for 2 nights.
My recommendation : Hotel 1001 Malam
The price range of this hotel is € 18 per night, it’s a great option and it’s clean, which is important!
Activities
In this cheap holiday to Yogyakarta, we recommend that you choose a number of tourist attractions where the ticket price is relatively cheap. But that’s not gonna be a problem because most of the tourist attraction are free or really cheap so you’re basically can go ANYWHERE if you have Euro as your income!
Well, here are some lists of tourist attractions that I personally like. You can choose from some of these attractions. Of course you have to make sure that the tourist attractions are close to where you are staying.
Bukit Bintang 
Gumuk Pasir 
Pintoe Langit Dahromo
Kaliadem

Packing Tips
Now for the packing tips, I advise you to dress comfortably. Most of the times weather in Indonesia is warm to hot because it’s a tropical country! so it would be better to wear casual stuff, and for shoes, just wear whatever feels comfortable for your feet. Don’t forget SUN SCREEN! so you’ll never have a problem with being sunburnt!
