To enter Bali, travelers need a passport valid for 6 months; many nationalities get 30 days visa-free, while longer stays require a Visa on Arrival or e-visa. The island has a tropical climate with a dry season (Apr–Oct) ideal for beaches and festivals, and a wet season (Nov–Mar) with lush green landscapes. Cash in Indonesian Rupiah is essential for small expenses, though cards are accepted in larger venues, and transport mainly relies on taxis, ride-hailing apps, scooters, or private drivers. Visitors should respect local customs—dress modestly at temples, remove shoes in sacred spaces, and use the right hand when giving or receiving items.
Balinese cuisine is a vibrant reflection of the island’s culture, shaped by its Hindu heritage, fertile volcanic soils, and abundant spices. Meals are a harmonious balance of flavors spicy, savory, sweet, and aromatic—brought together through fresh herbs, coconut, peanuts, and chili-based spice pastes known as bumbu. Rice is the centerpiece of most meals, complemented by grilled meats, seafood, and an array of vegetable dishes. Many recipes are deeply rooted in ceremonial traditions, often served during temple festivals and family gatherings, making Balinese food not only a culinary delight but also a cultural journey.
