The markets operate daily from 8am to 6pm, offering handcrafted goods such as woven baskets, batik textiles, silver jewellery, and carved wooden masks.

What to expect

Browse over 100 stalls across two main streets, with a focus on wood carvings, rattan bags, and painted umbrellas
Expect to spend 1–2 hours walking the full circuit, including the covered section near the Ubud Palace
Haggle with vendors using cash in Indonesian rupiah; most items start at 50,000 IDR and can be bargained down by 30–50%
Watch artisans at work at the back stalls, where carvers and weavers demonstrate their craft in real time
Suitable for souvenir hunters and budget travellers, but not for those seeking museum-grade antiques or fixed-price retail
Bring small denominations (10,000 and 20,000 IDR notes) to make transactions easier, as many stalls lack change for large bills
