Transportation

Bali doesn't have a train system. Meter taxis, local buses, and private cars with or without the driver are the best ways to explore Bali. Private cars are the most convenient, particularly for one day of sightseeing, and start from £40 per day; this can be easily booked through the hotel or online. A hired driver is recommended to avoid the hassle of self-driving on the narrow and crowded streets.

Useful Tips

If you have extra time, visit nearby locations like Mt. Batur or Tegenungan Waterfall. On the other hand, if you have little time, you may want to consider avoiding traffic jams and city buzz and focus on a single area, extending the stay to watch the sunset at the location.

Airports

Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the only airport in Bali, located in Tuban and approximately 13 kms southwest of Denpasar, the provincial capital. Numurous airlines across the world connect Bali, including direct flights from London, Australia, and others.
