Solo doesn't hold much excitement, some malls, but absolutely nothing must-see. I worked remotely at the time and occasionally spent 2-3 weeks in places like Yogyakarta or even Lombok, but even at that pace, Solo is not a destination for more than a couple days. Anyone with a busier schedule can easily give it a miss.
How was the train ride? I thought of going there by train from Yogya in 2019 but the timing didn't work out. Can't remember exactly why I had thought of visiting. Maybe the train ride itself gets billed as a good excuse? Thanks.
