Located on Jalan Raya and the southeast corner of Monkey Forest Road, just across from the Palace, the art market is a must see when you visit Ubud. Take your time as you wander through the colorful and busy market. You will be amazed at the finely detailed handicrafts, the magnificent artwork, and the many unique gifts available for purchase as souvenirs. Be prepared to bargain, then bargain again, and again!
The Central Art Market opens early as a Balinese food market. The food market offers visitors produce from local Balinese farms and homecooked treats and sweets made in traditional Balinese homestyle. They are delicious! The handicraft and clothing shops slowly begin to open around 9am. This is your chance to get "good luck" and "early morning" special prices! The Balinese believe that one good action can bring good luck. Many other good actions can happen following a good turn of events. It's like a chain reaction of good luck where one good thing attracts another! Everything is available for purchase, from finely carved wood sculptures to sarongs, hand-carved jewelry, hand-dyed batiks, to the finest silks, hand-carved crafts, and beautiful paintings, and so much more! Ubud's Central Market offers you a great chance to meet many local Balinese farmers and craftsmen, to enjoy a few conversations and smiles, and to purchase some of the finest handicrafts still being made by hand in the world today. This is the place where everyone is always smiling!
