Travel Tips
Rent a scooter or hire a driver — walking between Ubud's main attractions is time-consuming. The central market opens at dawn and is best before 9 AM before tourist crowds arrive. Attend a traditional Kecak, Legong, or Barong dance performance in the evening — venues vary in quality so check reviews. Book accommodation well in advance for peak months (July–August).
