In this video we took a walk around the popular Ubud Art Market. This market is a common tourist attraction due to it’s central location and lively atmosphere.

We spent time browsing through the local handicrafts available and took a look at some of the artwork available for sale.

Sellers and artists from all around Ubud and the neighboring villages come to sell their handmade artwork, clothing, and souvenirs. The Ubud Art Market is a colorful way to spend an afternoon.

In the early morning hours the Ubud Art market serves as a place for local farmers to sell locally grown fruits and vegetables. In the early mornings around 5am up until 7am, the market is quite different than the one depicted in this video. Locals come here to sell their produce and hawker stalls selling breakfast also set up booth all along the edges of the market.

Around 8am, the market is transformed into a tourist attraction in which you can find souvenirs and handicrafts. I recommend coming here in the early hours if you´d like to get a glimpse into local Balinese life. Many cooking schools also take a morning trip here to purchase ingredients beforehand.

After browsing around for a while we decided to stop into a local house for a break and sat next to some beautiful Balinese Hindu religious artwork representing demons and other mythical beasts. This place was amazing and we had a wonderful time drinking iced tea and looking at the various statues and masks decorating the hotel.

Ubud homes are designed to cater to multiple generations living in one central compound. The Balinese home we visited was converted into into individual apartments and turned into a homestay. Right next to the homestay was an ancient temple which was incredible to look at through the secured gate.

Although no tourists were allowed entry (As it is only available for locals to pray at) we were able to peek through the gate and see most of the temple. We could also see the majority of the temple from our seats as we sipped on our iced tea and basked in the Balinese environment.

After spending some time at the homestay we then continued on our walk down the street through the rest of the Ubud Art market.

It was really exciting watching the locals make their offerings at the shrines scattered around. Their offerings are very colorful and are usually made in little handmade baskets woven out of coconut tree leaves and are lined with a banana leaf insert. They are then filled with flowers, coffee, and incense.

You will see these offerings practically wherever you go in town. They are literally everywhere!

At the Ubud Art market, you can find anything from hand woven purses and sarongs to paintings and wind chimes. I recommend

If you are looking for a way to spend an hour or two that isn’t too far from the center of town then I recommend coming to the market. It is a family friendly excursion that has something to offer for people of all ages.
