Bali Bidadari Batik

Passing by

Traditional Batik Painting with tallented people.
Ubud Art Market

Passing by

Located right in the center of Ubud, this market consists of multiple buildings and one long street where vendors have set up shop for the day.
Ubud Palace

Passing by

The palace has beautifully crafted buildings with high aesthetic value. This place is the home of Ubud's royal family since the late 19th century.
Saraswati Temple

Passing by

A water garden temple with a lotus pond at the center. This temple is decorated with so many fine carvings, giant masks, statues of Goddes Saraswati, and many more.
Elephant Cave

Passing by

Witness the Balinese relationship with nature and spirituality while walking among most-covered sculptures and through a sacred meditation cave. Outside the cave is a bathing pool with fountains.
Campuhan Ridge Walk

Passing by

Campuhan Ridge Walk tours typically introduce Bali’s “subak” shared irrigation system, which has earned UNESCO World Heritage status, and the island’s highly individual brand of Hinduism. Some guides will also share information about on the abundant bird life amid the rice fields and in the valleys of Wos Barat and Wos Timor.
Don Antonio Blanco Museum

Passing by

Set in central Ubud, the Don Antonio Blanco Museum is easy to explore independently and advance tickets are not necessary. Besides the gardens and the small aviary of parakeets, which are happy to pose for photos, the gallery includes Balinese sculptures and an elaborate rotunda lined with Don Antonio Blanco’s paintings, many of them nudes and semi-nudes. The artist’s studio is preserved as he left it, complete with an unfinished painting.
Neka Art Museum

Passing by

Entrance tickets to the Neka Art Museum are affordably priced, and there are rarely lines. Tours typically focus on the evolution of Balinese art—the Lempad Pavilion is home to a world-class collection of works by I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. But, 20th-century Indonesian masters, such as Affandi and Abdul Aziz, are also worth investigating, as is the pavilion dedicated to Dutch-Indonesian artist Arie Smit. The on-site store offers background on the art of Indonesia, while signage is generally clear, and Campuhan is easy to reach from downtown Ubud
