Principali attrazioni a Ubud
💡 Haggle firmly but politely – start at 30% of the asking price. Go at 8am before the tour buses arrive. Avoid the stuff sold near the palace, it's mass-produced.
💡 Pop in for 15 minutes between 9am and 5pm when the lotus flowers are open. No sarong needed – they lend them at the entrance for free.
💡 Start from the north end near the Ibah Hotel for a quieter stretch. The walk is about 2km round trip but you can extend onto dirt trails if you want more.
💡 Leave your sunglasses and loose items in your bag. Monkeys will snatch them. Go after 4pm when it's quieter and the light is softer for photos.
💡 Skip the busy main path – take the steep stairs down to the left of the waterfall for a quieter spot to swim. Go early on a weekday to avoid crowds. Bring swimsuit and towel.
