Is Bali safe for tourists?

Bali is very safe for tourists. Petty theft can happen in crowded areas — use hotel safes and watch your belongings on scooters. Beware of strong currents at beaches. Emergency number: 112.

How many days do you need in Bali?

7-10 days is ideal to cover Ubud (rice terraces, temples), Seminyak/Canggu (beach life), and Uluwatu (cliffs). Add days for Nusa Penida or Gili Islands side trips.

What is the best area to stay in Bali?

Seminyak for beach clubs and dining, Ubud for culture and nature, Canggu for surfing and digital nomads, Uluwatu for luxury cliffside resorts, Nusa Dua for family-friendly beaches.

Bali is very budget-friendly. Street food from $1, decent hotels from $25/night. Luxury villas with private pools from $80/night. Scooter rental ~$5/day. A comfortable trip costs $30-60/day.

Do I need cash in Bali?

Yes, cash is king in Bali. Many warungs, markets, and small shops are cash-only. ATMs are plentiful in tourist areas. Cards accepted at upscale restaurants and hotels. Bring backup cash.

When is the best time to visit Bali?

Dry season (April-October) is best, with July-August being peak season. Shoulder months (April-May, September-October) offer great weather with fewer crowds. Rainy season (November-March) has afternoon showers but lower prices.
