The “Don Antonio Blanco” Museum, on the other hand, borders the southern small town of Ubud. As the former home of a popular artist, this offers art, culture and a wonderful view.

Temple

“The Island of a Thousand Temples” is characterized by countless temples that are open to visitors. The temples find use in the daily life of the Hindu Balinese and play a central role in the religion and culture of Bali.

One of the most impressive of these structures is the “Pura Besakih”. Located on an active volcano, the temple was founded around the 8th century CE and spreads over about 3 square kilometers. The temple city was extended again and again and consists today of more than 200 buildings. This, or any of the countless other temples, could be the highlight of the trip for anyone interested in architecture and the religion of the locals.

Parks

For nature lovers, there are also several (national) parks. The bird park “Taman Burung” or the “Sacred Monkey Forest” were founded only a short time ago, but nevertheless belong to Bali’s broad history.

Towns and Villages

Visiting a town or village in Bali is the ideal option if you want to immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the locals and get to know Bali for all its sunny and shady sides.

For a relaxing day, with or without planned stops, visiting Bali’s towns or villages is probably the most enjoyable option. The natural beauty and diversity of “Klintamani” led the place to be one of the most visited villages on the island today. With natural phenomena, rice terraces, coffee plantations, parks and a wide range of flora and fauna, this is no mystery.

Of course, there are also places to choose from that are a bit more remote from the tourist crowds, but still have just as much to offer. Among them “Karangasem”, the paradise on earth. Here you want to find relaxation as well as your inner peace and simply switch off. In addition to a water garden and picturesque nature, the special feature of this place is that you can immerse yourself in the life of the locals and get to know their impressive culture.

Connected islands

If you want to experience a real adventure, then the trip to an island near Bali is highly recommended. Because there are new cultures, magnificent nature and interesting animals to discover.

“Nusa Penida” is one of these islands. With a location 25 km southeast of Bali, it can be reached quickly by boat.
“Nusa Lembongan” is a slightly smaller neighboring island of the already mentioned. Turquoise blue water, white beaches and shining coral reefs characterize the two islands.

But also the “Menjangan Island” should be seen. It is especially popular for snorkeling and diving. The, also called “Island of the deer”, is a nature reserve and therefore untouched and natural. Moreover, from the mainland of Bali it takes only 30-50 minutes to get to this island.

Conclusion

Whether traveling alone, with friends or with the family. No matter if you are interested in culture, art or architecture. No matter if adventurer or looking for relaxation. Bali has a variety of destinations to offer for everyone. With such a variety, it is almost impossible not to have a good time on the Indonesian island.
