We recommend joining us at our festival venue, Taman Baca, using our free shuttle buses, which run from 08:00 until 18:00 and depart every 30 minutes from Museum Puri Lukisan on Jalan Raya Ubud to DI SINI DI SANA by Bachman & Sons on Jalan Raya, Lungsiakan.

You can also order a taxi or ojek (scooter), and drivers can easily be hired for a day from many places in Ubud. As there isn’t much parking available, please follow the signs directing you to the designated parking area.
