When I first arrived to the Sultan Palace I came up from the south but you can’t enter from there so I had to walk all the way around to the main entrance.
There is actually quite a lot to see, but I didn’t find any of it particularly enthralling.
One of the first things you come across is a puppet show. I had seen one the night before at the Sonobudoyo Museum, which used shadow puppets, so I didn’t stick around long for the performance.

There are a bunch of nice buildings with polished floors which you are not allowed to step on.
An many different gallery’s with various things. I assume mostly artefact’s from back when the palace was in its prime.
Very few things had English so it was a bit hard to know.

How to Get to Keraton Sultan Palace in Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is not that big and chances are you will be able to walk to the Sultan Palace from your accommodation.
If you are feeling lazy there is lots of people will to give you lift for a fee. I never took one of these but I dare say not to pay more than 20,000IDR to go anywhere in the city.
