Travel Tips from people who've been to Surakarta
This city is more well-known as Solo city. It is an historic place. We can still visit the castle, very crowded though.

There is one of the best "Gudeg" in country, made by "Adem Ayem" restaurant. Must try!
"Gudeg" is one of Indonesian traditional food from Yogyakarta. It contains rice, chicken, "cecek," cooked young jackfruit, coconut milk paste. 

There is one complex somewhere in this city (sorry I'm very bad in remembering direction when I'm not driving) that has a lot of "Nasi Liwet." OMG! It's damn nice! If I search my memory correctly, the seller is "Bu Lemu" (I'm not sure about this). It's another "must try." =)

There's also one delicious "Serabi" place. It's very hard to find, you need to ask many times to get there, but many people know it since it is very famous.
"Serabi" is another Indonesian traditional cakes. It looks like an UFO for me.

Enjoy your trip =)

Alternatif cara ke Solo dengan lebih murah: Naik pesawat ke Bandara Adi Sucipto Yogya dan lanjut dengan KA Prambanan Express. Stasiun KA Maguwo lokasinya langsung di Bandara.
