Destination of the Day
Bali
Bali has long been known for its beaches and culture, but the growing tourist infrastructure means that new opportunities for fun and entertainment are opening wide. And given Bali's small size, no attraction is more than a few hours' drive away! While the tourist scene changes as we speak, the following consistently stay on the top of the island's tourist to-do lists.
Hit the Beach
The most touristy beaches can be found in South Bali; Kuta and Seminyak's beaches are great for both surfing in the day and partying at night. Jimbaran Beach, on the other hand, is ideal for a romantic evening al fresco. On the opposite coast, you'll find Bali's water sports capital Tanjung Benoa. Head to East Bali for the island's most popular dive spot, the wreck of the USAT Liberty.
Visit a Local Temple
With over 20,000 Pura (Balinese for temple) in Bali, you'll find a sacred space on almost every corner. These range from simple family temples to grand community temples to the Mother Temple on Gunung Agung: Pura Besakih.
Go on a Shopping Spree
Bali's shopping districts are good for buying international brands, but they're also great for Balinese arts and crafts like silverworks, wood carvings, and jewelry. The shopping scene in South Bali favors Western-style malls and crafts-filled shopping outlets. You'll need to go further afield for more artisanal shopping, particularly the crafts villages around Ubud and Central Bali. If you can stop over at only one place in Ubud, make it the Art Market in the town center.
Your Packing List
Bring electrolyte mixes for adding to bottled water; you'll be drinking a lot!
You'll probably want to change tops every evening after sweating all day. If on an extended trip, you'll find plenty of inexpensive places that do laundry.
Dress modestly before entering a temple in Bali. Temple guests are expected to wear shirts that cover their shoulders and part of their upper arms. Your waist and legs should be covered by a temple scarf and a sarong.
Of all of Switzerland's fabulous lakes, Lake Thun may offer the most storybook setting. Surrounded by the snow-capped mountains of the Bernese Oberland, the lake is dotted with charming medieval towns you can get lost in, while cable cars connect hikers and skiers to points far above the turquoise-colored lake.
