Solo (INDONESIA)
Formally known as Surakarta, Solo was a centre of power during the great Javanese kingdoms. The royal city boasts two palaces - the Surakarta Kraton, rebuilt after a 1985 fire, and the Mangkunegara Kraton, which has a beautiful pavillion with a vibrantly coloured Javanese zodiac on the ceiling. Not to be missed is also Solo's Klewer Traditional Market, Java's largest batik centre for great bargains on a selection of batik and other handwoven fabrics.
