We recommend joining our festival venue at Taman Baca with our free shuttle buses, which run from 8:00 until 18:00. Departing every 30 minutes, the buses begin at Museum Puri Lukisan on Jalan Raya Ubud (see Google maps). You can also order a taxi or ojek (scooter). Drivers can be hired for a day quite easily from many places in Ubud, with negotiable prices.

There isn’t much parking available at the festival grounds, and there are signs directing you to the parking area.

Whether you want to grab a coffee on the go or sit down for a meal and leisurely debrief after your sessions, our delightful hospitality partners offering local and international cuisine have you covered.

Our Google Map has a handy key of all the restaurants, cafes, and bars where you can enjoy simply delicious food, excellent coffee, and refreshing cocktails, all located conveniently close to the festival.

With food focused on snacking and sharing, our Bazaar at our main festival venue at Taman Baca is the perfect place to pop in between events to nourish your body and satisfy your cravings.

Visit Periplus, the festival's official bookseller, to purchase your soon-to-be favourite book and maybe even have it signed, which is located at the main festival venue, Taman Baca. You can also order books online for home delivery. For international guests, please check Readings, and for those ordering in Indonesia, visit the Periplus.

Help us commit to cleaning up Bali and Ubud by reducing your use of single-use plastics and recycling where possible. Around Taman Baca and all of our venues, there are garbage cans, so please put all your waste in those provided.
