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’.

Best place to stay, esp for city dwellers who need a break.

Best place to stay, esp for city dwellers who need a break. There are a lot of activities you can do in and from Ubud like ATV rides, Mt Batur trek. Best plan a day to visit the local workshops and market. We especially loved the glass factory, didn't take the tour instead visited their workshop and bought vases for our home. The small workshops that make wooden sculptures are very artistic and they sell at less than half the price of the art galleries in Seminyak. These artisans deserve our patronage the most.
Beautiful city with fantastic people!

Ubud is a busy place.
26 April 2024
Ubud is a busy place. You can take trips from Ubud and take a driver for whole day to access places which are further. All in all, it is sufficient to spend 3 days in Ubud and move to further places to North or East to explore more there.
We Love Ubud, it’s a much nicer place than other more...

We Love Ubud, it’s a much nicer place than other more ‘tourist’ locations. We enjoyed the eating at “Fuzion Pizza” which is out of the main shopping district and for great vegetarian meals, a little place called “Muda” resturant.
Ubud was beautiful!

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.
