It screams of Balinese culture, art and history with healing and spiritual vibes, and a food scene that&#8217;s as dynamic as the island itself! So if you don&#8217;t know where to start, here&#8217;s my shortlist of things to do in Ubud I personally recommend to first-timer visitors and friends who just can&#8217;t get enough. Here&#8217;s why, despite its growing traffic jams, I <em>still<\/em> consider Ubud my second Bali home!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why trust this guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve visited Ubud countless times, even before I first moved to Bali in 2006. This Bali neighbourhood has inevitably changed over the years, with more things to do and must-visit places that you can imagine. This is my go-to list of things to do in Ubud, to make the most out of your stay. FYI &#8211; all pictures you see here are taken by the Honeycombers team, for our memory books&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Ubud&#8217;s main areas at a glance:<\/h3>\n<p>Ubud is vast, stretching all the way from the north Tegallalang area (where the famous rice fields are), to the south of Monkey Forest Road. In general, Ubud can be broken down into these key areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Central Ubud: <\/strong>Lively and walkable, with cafes, boutique shops, yoga studios and cultural landmarks. I recommend this area for Ubud first-timers and those who prioritise convenience. Hanoman Street and Monkey Forest Road are the main areas to stay or explore if you want to be close to temples, markets and dining. Or, walk down Jalan Goutama, Ubud\u2019s pretty little alleyway lined with cafes, small restaurants, bars, and cute shops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nyuh Kuning:<\/strong> This peaceful village borders the south of Monkey Forest, known for its leafy streets, eco-conscious cafes and charming guesthouses. It\u2019s ideal for wellness travellers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kedewatan:<\/strong> Sitting along the Ayung River valley, Kedewatan is surrounded by jungle. It\u2019s perfect for travellers seeking wellness, nature and luxury, whilst being minutes away from Central Ubud.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sayan:<\/strong> This is one of Ubud\u2019s most scenic and exclusive neighbourhoods, set along the dramatic Ayung River valley. Some of Ubud\u2019s top restaurants and sunset bars are located here, offering sunset views over treetops and the river below. The vibe is calm and romantic, so Sayan is popular amongst couples and honeymooners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Further north<\/strong> you\u2019ll find <strong>Tegallalang<\/strong> with its famous rice terraces and the brand new Equipoise Resort, and <strong>Payangan<\/strong> \u2013 home to large resorts like Padma Ubud, Hanging Gardens, and Buahan, A Banyan Tree Escape. Its calming vibe is best for couples and wellness travellers who also want luxury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to get around Ubud<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Walking:<\/strong> Best for Ubud\u2019s central areas. It\u2019s the only way to truly beat the traffic congestion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Private driver:<\/strong> Best for comfortable day trips to Ubud\u2019s outskirts or multiple venues. You can hire a driver for 8 to 10 hours, which costs roughly between IDR 550,000 to IDR 800,000.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scooter rental:<\/strong> Best for solo travellers and couples on a budget. Rentals typically range between IDR 80,000 to IDR 120,000 per day. You must be properly licensed and wear a helmet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ride-hailing Apps like Grab and Gojek:<\/strong> Best for affordable one-way trips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bluebird Taxis:<\/strong> Best for metered rides and transparent pricing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My pick is either walking if you&#8217;re exploring the central area or using a ride-hailing app. You can get around Ubud without the stress of congested streets and the lack of parking spots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FYI &#8211; Check out our other <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/guides\/ubud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ubud guides<\/a> to complete your itinerary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/best-ubud-hotels-where-to-stay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ubud&#8217;s Best Boutique Hotels &amp; Luxury Resorts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/best-restaurants-in-ubud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Restaurants In Ubud For Dinner &amp; Cocktails<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/best-cafes-in-ubud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ubud&#8217;s Best Cafes For Breakfast With A View<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_72 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Jump to:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#things-to-do-in-ubud-outdoor-attractions\" title=\"Outdoor Attractions\">Outdoor Attractions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#things-to-do-in-ubud-wellness\" title=\"Wellness\">Wellness<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#things-to-do-in-ubud-arts-culture\" title=\"Arts &amp; Culture\">Arts &amp; Culture<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#things-to-do-in-ubud-temples\" title=\"Temples\">Temples<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#things-to-do-in-ubud-food-drink\" title=\"Food &amp; Drink\">Food &amp; Drink<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#things-to-do-in-ubud-tours\" title=\"Tours\">Tours<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#my-one-day-ubud-itinerary\" title=\"My one-day Ubud itinerary\">My one-day Ubud itinerary<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-ubud\/#faqs-on-ubuds-attractions-and-activities\" title=\"FAQs on Ubud&#039;s attractions and activities\">FAQs on Ubud&#039;s attractions and activities<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"things-to-do-in-ubud-outdoor-attractions\"><\/span>Things To Do In Ubud: Outdoor Attractions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.

The <em>subak<\/em> irrigation system is a traditional farming technique that\u2019s passed down through generations of Balinese families since the 9th century. It ensures that all farms \u2013 big or small \u2013 receive the water they need. <em>Subak<\/em> is so efficient and integrated within the culture that it\u2019s even been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it has become touristy over the past years, <strong>Tegallalang Rice Terraces<\/strong> remains one of the best places to see the system in place. You\u2019ll also find a number of things to do besides scaling the rice terraces, like cycling tours or stopping by one of the cafes perched at the top for an elevated view \u2013 literally! Want to go even higher up? Book a session on a giant swing on top of the terraces, and fly away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Entrance fee:<\/strong> IDR 50,000 per person.
