Against a stunning backdrop of ornate angkul-angkul gates adorned with traditional guardian statues, the stage is set for these performances.

The Palace’s daily evening performances are accompanied by gamelan percussive orchestras, creating an unforgettable experience that transports visitors to a bygone era. If you’re interested in attending a performance, you can usually purchase tickets in the afternoon.

And if you have the time, be sure to explore the Palace’s grounds during the day – with its well-preserved Balinese architecture and charming garden setting, it’s a cultural treasure that’s worth exploring in its own right.

If you’re on the lookout for beautiful and unique hand-crafted goods during your Bali trip, the Ubud Art Market is an excellent destination. Locals refer to it as Pasar Seni Ubud, and it is conveniently located opposite the Puri Saren Royal Ubud Palace and is open every day.

You can find various items such as silk scarves, lightweight shirts, statues, kites, handmade woven bags, baskets, hats, and more. Most of these items come from the neighboring villages of Pengosekan, Tegallalang, Payangan, and Peliatan.

The market’s location at the heart of Ubud makes it a strategic shopping destination for Balinese handicrafts and souvenirs.

In fact, it served as a filming location for the Hollywood movie Eat Pray Love, which starred Julia Roberts strolling through the stalls, just like many foreign and local visitors do in real life. Keep in mind that bargaining is customary when you shop at the Ubud Market.

Highlights of shopping in Ubud Art Market

When visiting the Ubud Art Market, it’s not just about buying something – the experience of browsing through the many stalls and admiring the intricate Balinese craftsmanship is a highlight in itself.

It’s not uncommon to spend multiple days here to fully appreciate all the shops and stalls. If you find something you like, you can always come back later to bargain or make a purchase.

Compared to other art markets in popular Bali destinations like Kuta, the Ubud Art Market stands out with its higher quality items and diverse selection. You can find common items like beach clothes and Bali-branded shirts, as well as unique offerings such as ikat woven skirts, Balinese-style paintings, woodcarvings, and woven baskets.

The market also features curious items that are typical of Ubud, like quadruple-colored bohemian satin skirts, Moroccan-style oil lamps, quilt-stitched batik camisoles, and brass Buddha statuettes.

Must-Know Facts About Ubud Art Market

The Ubud Art Market is a must-visit destination that offers not just unique Balinese merchandise, but also a wide array of international products. The products available here are of higher quality and artistic value compared to those found in other art markets across Bali.

Unlike the stores that are present on the busy Monkey Forest Road, the majority of the items sold in the Ubud Art Market do not have a fixed price or a barcode. It is customary to bargain with the seller, but always do so respectfully and with a smile.

It’s advisable to decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend on an item beforehand and start bargaining from about half the asking price. Take a look around to get an idea of the standard prices before you make a purchase.

The market is open every day from 8 am to 5 pm, and some stalls remain open until late at night. The market consists of two main sections: the western block is where the main art market is located, while the eastern block is a traditional market that sells daily necessities and groceries.
