Ubud is the HEART and SOUL of Balinese culture. If you want to go to Bali to just drink beer and surf, then Ubud is not for you. If you want to understand the people more, then Ubud makes an ideal base to explore. The best restaurants are in Ubud, the small villages and scenery around Ubud are great too. You also can witness the Balinese as they carve and paint. The old palace of the Agung has excellent Balinese dancing every night.
