Ubud Palace, or Puri Saren Agung, is the former residence of the Ubud royal family, in the very centre, opposite the art market. The courtyards can be visited by day, free of charge according to the guides read in October 2026 (a donation at the entrance is customary), and in the evening the courtyard hosts a legong dance at 19:30 for about 100,000 IDR. Opening hours vary between sources: confirm them on site.

Tips
- Dress for a royal and sacred place: shoulders and knees covered, with a sarong that can be rented at the entrance according to one guide. Daytime hours vary between sources (from 7:00-8:00 to 17:00-19:00): arrive mid-morning. For the show, arrive 45 minutes to an hour before the start for a good seat, and take photos without flash.

The palace is at the junction of Ubud's main central streets, within walking distance of most central hotels. By scooter or car, parking is limited: a driver or Grab saves you looking for a space.
