Ubud Palace, also called Puri Saren Agung, is a royal landmark on Jl. Raya Ubud in central Ubud, opposite the art market. Its public courtyards, ornate gates, stone carvings and gardens make for a compact look at Balinese palace architecture. Much of the main palace interior is closed to visitors, so plan on a short walk around the areas open to the public. In the evening, traditional dance performances bring another reason to stop; check the current schedule before you go.
