<p>Ask a local what they like most about Java&rsquo;s cultural capital, on the other hand, and they&rsquo;ll tell you it&rsquo;s the way the city has balanced these traditions with its rapid urban growth.

<p>Ask a tuk-tuk driver and you&rsquo;ll be whisked out of Yogya, where you&rsquo;ll also get more than you bargained for. The stunning Gunung Merapi, a volcanic fireball of a mountain, is awe-inspiring enough, but nothing matches the sheer scale of Borobudur, an enigmatic Buddhist temple that ranks as one of the most beautiful in Asia.
