Malioboro Yogyakarta

Malioboro area as one of the leading shopping area of the city of Yogyakarta, is supported by the presence of shops, restaurants, shopping centers, and not behind the traders. For shopping, shopping centers and restaurants are actually the same as the business and shopping centers in other large cities, which is visited by a big brand name and there are also local names. Traded goods from imported and local goods, from daily necessities to electronic goods, furniture and so forth. Also provides various handicrafts, such as batik, wayang, matting, bags and so forth. There is also a place of foreign currency exchange, banks, five star hotel up to the type of jasmine.

Malioboro hustle and splendor can not be separated from the many street vendors who line the street Malioboro peddling his wares, almost everything on offer is a good and unique items as souvenirs Jogja / souvenirs for tourists. They traded handicrafts typical of Jogjakarta, among other crafts wicker, leather, batik, silver, bamboo and others, in the form of batik clothes, leather bags, leather shoes, decorative wicker, leather puppets, bamboo keychains, spoons / forks silver, blangkon hat kind of typical Jogja batik / Java, T-shirts with various models / writings and many others. The street vendors have which showcases his wares on a table, cart only those that hold the plastic on the floor. So when the visitor quite busy Malioboro alone among visitors jostled each other because of the narrowness of the road for pedestrians because it was fairly heavy and the number of traders on the right and left.

And this also needs to be aware of or get special attention because Malioboro become vulnerable to crime, this proved to not at least report to the nearest police about the theft or hold-up, and not infrequently also the foreign tourists also become victims of crime and this is very embarrassing actually
