More about Ubud
Arts and Culture
Immerse in the arts of Bali, whether it's Tek Tok, a traditional Balinese dance that is performed regularly at the Bali Culture Center, or visits one of its many art museums. The Puri Lukisan Museum is one of the oldest art museums that feature traditional Balinese wood carvings and paintings. You can also participate in creating some art pieces of your own, whether it's a jewelry-making, silver-making, or traditional Balinese painting classes.
Nature
The Ubud Monkey Forest is one of the most popular attractions in the area and attracts around 10,000 tourists through its gates per month. The forest is a nature reserve and Hindu temple, which is viewed by local residents as an important spiritual destination. The park is home to roughly 600 Balinese long-tailed monkeys and guests are encouraged to purchase bananas to feed the monkeys for an interactive experience.
Local Cuisine
Get hands-on experience with the local palette by taking a cooking class. The instructor will take you on a journey through local markets, picking essential spices and ingredients that make a delicious Balinese dish. If you're not inclined to cook, there are also a wide selection of restaurants to choose from, many of which boast amazing views while you dine. You'd be surprised at the number of gourmet dining places you can find in Ubud. World-class chefs come to Bali to hone their skills and present meticulously crafted fusion dishes you can't find anywhere else.
The narrow streets of Ubud are lined with charming restaurants and organic cafes, as well as shops selling handmade crafts and art galleries. For travelers with limited time in Ubud, accommodation near the center of town is recommended; this allows for easy and quick access to the key sights. If time permits, book a stay at a tranquil resort that offers yoga classes.
