Ubud
Set in the hills north of Denpasar, Ubud is the cultural centre
of Bali and the major attractions of the town and its surrounding
villages are the art museums and galleries, notably the Neka
Museum, containing a huge collection of traditional and modern
Balinese paintings. An enormous variety of Balinese art and crafts
line the streets and crowd the market place of Ubud, and frequent
performances of traditional dance and music, and restaurants
offering some of the best food on the island, compel visitors to
stay much longer than intended. Ubud is also close to several sites
of interest, including the 'Mother Temple' of Besakih, majestically
situated high on the slopes of the Agung Volcano, and hiking in the
scenic Batur region with its volcano and lake are popular
excursions.
Information & Facts
Language
Bahasa Indonesia is the official language, but many
dialects are spoken. English is widely understood in Jakarta and
tourist resorts.
Money
Rupiah (IDR) is the official currency and is divided into 100
sen. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, hotels and
money changers in major tourist destinations; US dollars is the
most accepted currency. Cash often yields a better exchange rate
than travellers cheques, which are not always accepted. It is
recommended that travellers cheques also be in US dollars. Most
major credit cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants and stores
catering to the tourist trade. ATMs are available in main centres.
Small change is often unavailable so keep small denomination notes
and coins for items like bus fares, temple donations and cool
drinks.
Time
Indonesia spans three time zones. GMT +7 (West, including
Java and Sumatra), GMT +8 (Central, including Bali, Sulawesi and
Lombok), GMT +9 (East, including Irian Jaya).
