There are so many different areas of Bali that are deemed unmissable, but Ubud is perhaps the most unmissable of all. Here at The Bali Sun we have a very special place in our hearts for Ubud. As the arts and cultural capital of the province, this town really is the gateway to Balinese culture and in truth, even a lifetime is not long enough to understand all that this magical place has to offer.
This poses an important question. For tourists who are on a tight turnaround in Bali in terms of itinerary, how long should be allocated to visit Ubud. Some holidaymakers opt to make Ubud the base for their whole two week vacation, while others whizz on through as part of a day trip from elsewhere on the island.
