FAQ

Trip to Bali — good to know

When is the best time to visit Bali?

The dry season (April–October) is the best time: lots of sun and little rain. The shoulder months April/May and September/October give the best balance of good weather and lower prices.

How many days do you need for Bali?

For a good first trip, plan 10 to 14 days so you see several areas — e.g. Ubud, the south coast and an island like Nusa Penida or the Gilis. The trip planner gives day advice per place.

Is a trip to Bali expensive?

Bali suits many budgets. Food, transport and activities are inexpensive; mainly flights and luxury resorts cost more. In the planner you choose budget, comfort or luxury.

Do you need a visa for Bali?

Most short-stay tourists get a visa on arrival for Indonesia (usually 30 days, for a fee). Always check the current rules before you travel.

What are the best places in Bali?

Among others Ubud (culture and rice fields), Uluwatu (cliffs and surf), Canggu (surf and cafés), Sidemen (quiet), Nusa Penida (Kelingking Beach) and the Gili Islands. Explore them in the trip planner.
