Things to Do in Sleman

Culinary in Sleman

Sleman is the regency north of Yogyakarta, dominated by Mount Merapi. Indonesia's most active volcano isn't just scenery here — it anchors a distinctive kind of nature tourism: the Lava Tour by offroad jeep tracing the 2010 eruption, the Sisa Hartaku Museum, and the cool Kaliurang area on its slopes, long a refuge from the city heat. On the other side of Sleman stands Prambanan Temple, Indonesia's largest Hindu temple complex and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside companion temples like Candi Ijo and Ratu Boko, famous for their sunsets. Sleman is also home to many major universities, giving the area a lively food scene — from legendary angkringan to cafes with Merapi views. Since it doesn't border the sea, Sleman's strength lies in mountains, temples, and culture rather than beaches. This page gathers guides to Sleman by theme to help you explore the northern side of Jogja.
