Cultural Tourism Sites in Bali

Ubud is actually not a specific location of a resort. It is an area -a town precisely- that has several resorts in it. Located in Gianyar regency, it only takes about 1.5 hours from Denpasar. It’s the heart of Bali. Yes, that's the word. If you've visited some resorts in Bali and still wondering which place is considered as the center of Balinese life and culture, then Ubud is the place. You'll find anything that reflects the real Bali in Ubud. You’ll find anything from the original Balinese life (which now hasn’t been much affected by cultures outside Bali), the original art of Bali (like Balinese dances, paintings, and handicrafts), to the original Balinese architectures (that you can find in any buildings in Ubud). Although there are hundreds of modern buildings, like five-star Hotels for example, most of their architectures are still in Balinese. The modern and the original Balinese architectures look well-combined.
