Cirebon sits on the north coast of Java at the boundary between Sundanese and Javanese cultural areas, which gives the city a distinctive mixed character. It is a port with several royal palaces still standing in the older quarters.
The kraton palaces, particularly Kasepuhan with its collections and its unusual blend of Javanese, Chinese, Islamic and European decoration, are the city's principal sights. The Sunyaragi water palace, a bizarre cave-like structure of coral rock, is unlike anything else in Java, and the surrounding villages are known for batik in a distinctive cloud-motif style.
Becak cycle rickshaws and angkot minibuses cover the city, with ride-hailing available. The city is a major rail junction on the north coast line between Jakarta and Surabaya.
The dry season through the middle of the year is the most comfortable. The north coast is hot and humid year-round, and the wet season brings heavy afternoon rain.
Indonesia uses the IDR, calling code +62.
Indonesia uses the rupiah, and Indonesian is the common language with both Javanese and Sundanese spoken here. Modest dress is expected at the palaces and mosques, and cash is useful outside larger businesses.
