Ubud Palace is definitely worth a quick stop if you’re in the area. It’s a nice place to see, with some traditional architecture and cultural value, but it’s not particularly impressive or memorable. If you skip it, you won’t miss much — but if you have some time, it’s worth a short visit.

Ubud Palace is a beautiful cultural landmark in the heart of Ubud, showcasing stunning Balinese architecture and intricate carvings. The entrance is free and it’s a great spot to admire traditional design and history. In the evening, you can also watch traditional dance performances here. A quick but worthwhile visit if you’re exploring Ubud! Follow me @roxana.iamandi.❤️
