Ubud is the cultural center of Bali. Ubud may be explored on a magnificent path by bike or motorbike, which can be rented in a variety of locations.
There are different markets to shop like the Ubud Art Market, Patha Handicraft and Ikat Batik. Many of the items available for purchase are handcrafted. Or go to the Neka Art Museum or Museum Puri Likisan and look at Balinese modern and traditional art. Puri Saren or Puri Saraswati provide a dance performance almost every evening if you wish to see a Balinese dance.
