Sragen is a small regency in Central Java, best known for the UNESCO‑listed Sangiran archaeological site and a few local parks. It is reachable by train from major Javanese cities and by road from Solo (30 km). One day covers the museum and a park; an overnight lets you try local eateries and stay at budget guesthouses.
