When to visit

The best time to visit Ubud is during the dry season from April to October when the weather is warm and sunny. The rainy season from November to March can bring heavy downpours and humidity, but it also means fewer crowds and lower prices. Be prepared for occasional showers even during the dry season, as Ubud's tropical climate can be unpredictable.

Getting around

Getting around Ubud is easy with options like renting a scooter, hiring a private driver, or using ride-sharing apps. Walking or cycling are also popular ways to explore the town and its surrounding areas. Traffic can be congested in the central part of Ubud, so it's best to avoid driving during peak hours. Taxis are available but make sure to negotiate the fare before starting your journey.
