#JalanMalioboro (Javanese: ꦢꦭꦤ꧀​ꦩꦭꦶꦪꦧꦫ, romanized: Dalan Maliabara; English: #Malioboro Street) is a major shopping street in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; the name is also used more generally for the neighborhood around the street. It lies north–south axis in the line between #Yogyakarta Kraton and Mount Merapi. This is in itself is significant to many of the local population, the north–south orientation between the palace and the volcano being of importance.

The street is the centre of Yogyakarta's largest tourist district surrounded with many hotels, restaurants, and shops nearby. Sidewalks on both sides of the street are crowded with small stalls selling a variety of goods. In the evening several open-air street side restaurants, called lesehan, operate along the street. This is the street of the artists. Street musicians, painters, and other artists exhibit their creations on this road. Less obvious to the tourist, but more for the local population, side streets, lanes and structures that lead on to Malioboro are as important as the street itself.

History
The street was for many years two-way, but by the 1980s had become one way only, from the railway line (where it starts) to the south - to Beringharjo market, where it ends. The largest, oldest Dutch era hotel, Hotel Garuda, is located on the street's northern end, on the eastern side adjacent to the railway line. It has the former Dutch era Prime Minister's complex, the kepatihan, on the eastern side.

For many years in the 1980s and later, a cigarette advertisement was placed on the first building south of the railway line - or effectively the last building on Malioboro, which advertised Marlboro cigarettes, no doubt appealing to locals and foreigners who would see a pun with name of the street with a foreign product being advertised.

It does not reach the walls or grounds of the Yogyakarta palace, as Malioboro ceases in name adjacent to the very large market #Beringharjo (on the eastern side as well). From this point the street changes name to Jalan Ahmad Yani (Ahmad Yani Street, currently Margo Mulyo Street) and has the former Governors residence on the western side, and the old Dutch Fort Vredeburg on the eastern side.

Malioboro Night Festival
The festival held annually along Jalan Malioboro until the Monument of General Offensive of First March. Live music, featured music concert, traditional art show, Jembe Percussion, Kumlaka Ethnic, fashion show and other activities are arranged for Malioboro Night Festival.

Jalan Malioboro (bahasa Jawa: ꦢꦭꦤ꧀​ꦩꦭꦶꦪꦧꦫ, translit. Dalan Maliabara) adalah nama salah satu kawasan jalan dari tiga jalan di Kota Yogyakarta yang membentang dari Tugu Yogyakarta hingga ke perempatan Kantor Pos Yogyakarta. Secara keseluruhan terdiri atas Jalan Margo Utomo, Jalan Malioboro, dan Jalan Margo Mulyo. Jalan ini merupakan poros Garis Imajiner Kraton Yogyakarta.

Kereta api Malioboro sumber inspirasi dari nama Jalan Malioboro untuk mengangkut penumpang dari Yogyakarta tujuan Malang.
Jalan ini menghubungkan Tugu Yogyakarta hingga menjelang kompleks Keraton Yogyakarta. Jalan ini berakhir di Pasar Beringharjo (di sisi timur). Dari titik ini nama jalan berubah menjadi Jalan Achmad Yani. Di sini terdapat bekas kediaman gubernur Hindia-Belanda di sisi barat dan Benteng Vredeburg di sisi timur.

Pada tanggal 20 Desember 2013 oleh Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X nama dua ruas jalan Malioboro dikembalikan ke nama aslinya, Jalan Pangeran Mangkubumi menjadi jalan Margo Utomo, dan Jalan Jenderal Achmad Yani menjadi jalan Margo Mulyo.

Terdapat beberapa objek bersejarah di kawasan tiga jalan ini antara lain Tugu Yogyakarta, Stasiun Tugu, Gedung Agung, Pasar Beringharjo, Benteng Vredeburg, dan Monumen Serangan Umum 1 Maret.

Jalan Malioboro terkenal dengan para pedagang kaki lima yang menjajakan kerajinan khas Jogja dan warung-warung lesehan di malam hari yang menjual kuliner Jogja seperti gudeg. Jalan ini juga terkenal sebagai tempat berkumpulnya para seniman yang sering mengekspresikan kemampuan mereka seperti bermain musik, melukis, happening art, pantomim, dan lain-lain.

Setidaknya ada tiga teori terkait asal usul nama Jalan Malioboro. Teori pertama berpendapat bahwa nama Malioboro diambil dari gelar John Churchill sebagai Adipati Marlborough Pertama (1650-1722), jenderal dari Inggris yang paling terkenal pada masanya. Nama ini digunakan untuk benteng pertahanan inggris di Bengkulu yang dinamakan Benteng Marlborough. Namun, teori ini dibantah oleh sejarawan Peter Carey yang mengemukakan bahwa tidak mungkin jalan yang digunakan sebagai jalan utama bagi Kesultanan Yogyakarta berasal dari nama Inggris.
