The corner of Monkey Forest Road and Jl. Raya Ubud marks the heart of Ubud, distinguished by its large craft and food market where you can lunch on soup or a kebab, and Puri Saren palace, residence of the royal family. Nearby are the enchanting lotus pools of Pura Saraswati temple, dedicated to the goddess of art and wisdom. Another lovely garden can be found at the Puri Lukisan museum, devoted to Balinese art.
