Stasiun Wates in Kulon Progo is the perfect blend of rich history and bustling modern convenience.
Originally built by the Dutch railway company Staatsspoorwegen way back in 1888, this station boasts a gorgeous Indies-style colonial architecture featuring distinct high ceilings and grand arched doorways. Despite being well over a century old, the station is anything but outdated when it comes to travel. Its importance completely skyrocketed with the opening of Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA), turning Stasiun Wates into a vital transit hub.
Whether you are catching an intercity train or rushing to catch a flight, Stasiun Wates seamlessly connects the nostalgia of the past with the fast-paced needs of modern travel.
