The main palace, located in the center of Ubud, is opposite the town market and village theater, where nightly traditional dance performances are held. Besides cultural study opportunities, Ubud offers a unique chance to observe and participate in frequent Hindu-Balinese ceremonies. Recently, Ubud has also emerged as Bali's culinary hub, boasting world-class restaurants, cafés, and local eateries with wide variety of exceptional cuisines. Neighboring villages showcase exquisite artistry such as weaving, wood-carving, shadow puppets, and other crafts.
