Planning your trip to Bali
Best time to visit
The drier season runs roughly April to October, and the wetter season roughly November to March, though showers rarely last all day. The island varies a lot by area, so the best time depends on where you stay.
How many days you need
Five to seven days lets you sample more than one area, such as the cultural inland town, a surf coast and a beach resort. Distances feel long because of traffic.
Getting around
Hiring a driver for the day is a common and practical way to get around. Renting a scooter is popular but risky, and you generally need a valid license and insurance that covers it. Check your travel insurance before you ride.
What to skip
Cover up appropriately and follow the rules at temples, and treat offerings on the ground with care. Traffic between areas is slow, so avoid packing too much into one day.
