Bali: Ubud Palace Legong Dance Show Ticket

1.Bali: Ubud Palace Legong Dance Show Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,979 reviews · 1h 30m · from $6Our pick

Spend 90 minutes watching Legong Kraton, Bali’s classical court dance, at Ubud Palace. Young dancers tell an old royal story through precise hand gestures, quick footwork, expressive eyes, gold costumes, and gamelan music. The $6 ticket is excellent value, but seating is limited, so arrive 45 to 75 minutes early for a clear view.

“The dance was lovely, but make sure to read the stories printed on the pamphlets that are handed out to you or you may get confused. I reached the venue 30 minutes prior to the show and it was already full. Be early so you get your choice of seating. They’ve also placed mats on the ground in front of the stage, but you need to buy a drink from one of the aunties selling them to sit there. Overall, it’s a great experience! A 7 PM show will end around 9:15 so make sure to plan your dinner accordingly.”
