Not great really
Everything clearly mass produced, the same cheap poor quality items on sale in every stall.
Nothing unique or handmade at all.
Very cramped area, traffic on the streets around, difficult to navigate, not a very relaxing stroll!
Not what I was expecting!

Part of the Traditional Art Market has been housed in a new building. However, there are still many traders operating from the old bazaar area.
Here, you can buy a souvenir to bring home - from a wall decoration to a wind chime or a piece of wood carving to clothings including souvenir T-shirts.
If you love bargaining, this is the place for you to put your negotiation skills to good use. Don't be shy or afraid to haggle. For example, if the opening price is Rp 300K (that's about USD 20 / EU 18 / SGD 27 / RM 90), offer half or less and take it from there. Don't worry, from experience, I find that the traders will never get angry. They would smile and counter your offer.
Personally, I don't think there's a loser here. Once a bargain is struck, it results in a win-win situation. The trader is happy to have made a sale and you are happy to have acquired a souvenir from Ubud to take home!

Traditional Bali Market with all sorts of everything, some under cover in the new building… we went there on the Gojak scooter taxi which was a good plan as the traffic is hell. Vendors have good English, some was mindful of not buying too much / buying quality so it doesn’t end up in the landfill. haggle hard and have fun!

The market is quite simple but also has a variety of goods, so bargain because they say the challenge is quite high. Closed in the evening. There are many beautiful crafts.

The market was a street long. It was packed with vendors and had really good bargains. They do expect you to bargain with them, so don't hesitate. A new market place has been built but is not being used yet. They are in the process of finishing it. It will be moving to a covered building soon. It was fun to walk through. Go when you have time to browse. We didn't have a lot of time unfortunately and only got half way through. Definitely worth a trip if you are going there.

Ubud is many things, traditional, tourist and western focus and merge. It is emerging from a farming background and is different to other coastal centres.

Fun area. Many of the vendors sell the same merchandise. Bargaining is expected. There are some good souvenirs. Right in the center of Ubud it is a nice way to get off the busy streer.

So so so sad, once an iconic land mark for people to come see and experience is now narrowed down to once small lane of stalls, surrounded by construction and extremely heavy traffic it was not something worth seeing anymore, sadly
I have travelled to Bali 19 times and each time I loved the journey up to Ubud to visit here, I would spend hours looking through out all the stalls and delicately choosing handmade gifts for friends and family. Now it’s nothing like it used to be.

Great market to walk around and find local treasures. The art work is nice and you can haggle with the locals. They are so talented and friendly. Find a deal and they will pack it to take home. Bought some beautiful hand drawn oil paintings and hand carved wood pieces. Made some new friends and enjoyed supporting the local who are delightful people earning an honest wage.

Hi ,
We are visiting Bali from India. It's a four days trip. Could anyone suggest whether visa card or master card is okie for payment like food expenses or we should carry USD or IDR too. Also could you help with cost of food per pax and best place for vegetarian food.

Most places take credit cards in Bali but a few restaurants remain cash only. The meals are inexpensive compared to the UK and there is a wide choice. Many cater for vegan and vegetarian tastes so you will be well catered for. Enjoy your trip
What's time they are open

I want to cover tegalalang rice terrace-ubud art market-tirta empul temple-tibumana falls and tanah lot in one day,is it feasible or do I need to plan again ?

Of-course, it's very much possible. Book a full day tour. The cab driver will pick you at 8 AM in the morning and will drop you back by 6PM. Sometimes traffic causes a delay, so be prepared for that.
Also, make sure to have a good, filling breakfast in the morning, so that you waste no time in halting for food again and again.

Hey please how much are the rattan bags? I will appreciate to get a feedback.

You can generally pay anywhere from around 120,000 idr up. Around 140,000 is fairly standard from my experience. Sometimes the smaller bags are more expensive than the bigger ones.
Hope this helps!
