Ubud City-Centre
In the city centre
As hectic as it gets in Ubud. The city centre revolves around Ubud Market, the old forum of street trade. Browse for suitcase-filling souvenirs, then go bananas in the Monkey Forest. Stroke your chin at paintings at Museum Puri Lukisan before tapping your foot to some jazz stylings at Laughing Buddha Bar. The fun doesn’t stop!

Campuhan
1.4 miles from city centre
How green is your valley? Campuhan’s is mega-lush. Breathe deep as you clamber along the Ridge Walk through rice paddies and the thickest, greenest vegetation. Head back into town and tuck into a plate of sticky pork ribs from legendary restaurant Naughty Nuri’s. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss the dark chocolate brûlée at Room4Desserts.

Set amid tropical jungle ravines, terraced rice paddies and emerald rolling hills, the town of Ubud has long been considered the spiritual and cultural hub of Bali.
A peaceful respite from the livelier Kuta, Ubud is all about kicking back, relaxing and being at one with nature. One of the town’s most famous attractions is the Ubud Monkey Forest – a dense swathe of jungle housing three holy temples and over 600 Balinese long-tailed macaques who delight in roaming the ancient site. Another must-see spot is the UNESCO-listed Tegalalang Rice Terrace, known for its photo opportunities, verdant scenery and the iconic ‘Love Bali’ swing.
The hilltop Campuhan Ridge Walk – the best-known of Ubud’s hiking trails – takes you on a journey through beautiful rice paddies and grasslands, from where you can enjoy sweeping countryside views. Another great lookout spot is the summit of Mount Batur – located about an hour or so north of town. Hikers enjoy climbing this active volcano to be rewarded with spectacular views of the crater and the shimmering Lake Batur.
Ubud is a great place to soak up Balinese culture. From the rock-hewn cave of Goa Gajah to the ancient Hindu temple of Pura Taman Saraswati, there are plenty of cultural gems dotted around this laid-back town. You can also shop for traditional Balinese arts and crafts at the Ubud Art Market, which famously featured in the film ‘Eat, Pray, Love’.

Ubud was beautiful!
15 April 2024
Ubud was beautiful! So many things to see and do, we loved going to the waterfalls and rice terrace. Ubud centre was really busy but we went during the king Cremation. We went to a sliver making class which was amazing! The locals were beautiful, really friendly and not pushy at all!!
Loved Ubud.

Ubud was love at first sight for us. The people, the places, the food, the atmosphere… it’s one of those magic places you find around the world that you are certain you want to go back to, even while you are still there.

This is a unique city full of activity, natural beauty. The are no skyscrapers: buildings can not It be higher than 2 stories. Most every home and business has a interesting temple. Everywhere you look there is art, natural beauty, interesting culture and delightful people. I will go back. I enjoyed every minute walking the streets, conversing with people. I was enchanted

Ubud is still a wonderful cultural experience and easy to walk to see rice paddies and the local life Locals are friendly and always willing to assist Great Warungs to eat local Indonesian food Local bands offering nightly music We visited a different monkey temple which was fantastic and better than the one closer in town. Great bike riding to see the rice paddies and local villages.

Most visited places are too overrated, with crowds of tourists an nothing special to see. Ceking rice teracce was nothing magical - rice were cut, so all we could see was a bunch of tourists in a mud taking worthless activities (like a riding a bike on zip line). Tirta Empul temple was overcrowded as well, no magic and no sense of holiness (be aware of women selling bananas. First they give banana to try, but then say ‘pay pay pay’). One of the most popular waterfall Tegenungan was nice, but even there was litter all around. Ubud is a place for shoping as there is a lot of shops, food markets, bazzars. Very simple to travel with Gojek. A lot of places to eat. Vegan The Zest has a good vibe.
