Bali’s inland center of Ubud is its cultural treasure, abundant with opportunities for adventure. The town has evolved a great deal in the past decade, with Instagram-ready swings dotting glistening terraces and hip cafes lining the city center. However, if you’re looking for tradition—be it the melodic music of the gamelan or the vibrant dance performances—Ubud is still the epicenter of Balinese art, culture, and wellness.
Ubud’s location also makes it slightly cooler than the Bali beaches, a welcome respite from the heat. Countless shades of green swirl across the lush landscape and in the center of the town are busy streets brimming with temples, markets, and delicious food. Here’s what you can't miss in Ubud.
