1. Essential Information to Know
🌼🌻Best Time to Travel to Bali
The ideal time to visit Bali is from around April to September, but the best time to visit Bali is during the summer months of June, July, and August. This is also when Bali enters its dry season, with cool, dry weather and no prolonged thunderstorms. However, during this time, Bali is extremely crowded with tourists, so accommodations may be scarce, traffic congested, and costs (transportation, dining, accommodation, entrance fees) significantly higher.

If couples plan to travel to Bali, they should avoid these 3 months! The best time for you to visit Bali is now, in April and May, when the weather is beautiful, with fewer rainstorms and relatively fewer tourists. It's perfect for you to fully experience the beautiful nature and exciting activities on this famous island of Bali.
– April-May: Beautiful weather, less rain, still not the peak season so prices are reasonable. These are the two months we recommend you go.
– June-August: Peak tourist season, visitors flock to Bali from all over. The weather is rain-free and sunny. However, famous attractions will have long waiting times for photos, and hotel prices will be higher.
– September-October: Less crowded, this is the transitional period and prices are reduced.
Important festivals during those months:
🔹Bali Arts Festival (June-July)
🔹Nusa Dua Festival (June-July)
🔹Bali Kites Festival (July-August)
🔹Indonesia Independence Day (August)
🌼🌻Transportation
When planning a trip to Bali, it's essential to coordinate with your loved one and book your flight tickets as early as possible to secure the most economical fares. From Vietnam, reaching Bali requires a flight journey ranging from 3 to 7 hours. Flights to Bali typically land at Denpasar Airport (also known as Ngurah Rai Airport). This airport is one of the busiest in Indonesia, situated approximately 15km away from downtown Denpasar.

Upon landing at the airport, you can choose between taxis, buses, and other means of transportation to reach the city center. These are the primary modes of transportation that offer convenient mobility. If you've pre-booked your accommodation, check whether they provide airport transfer services. Pre-arranging this service ensures you won't have to struggle to find transportation upon arrival.
🌼🌻Currency Exchange (USD or Indonesian Rupiah)
In Bali, apart from major urban centers, there are still small shops, eateries, and souvenir stores. Besides using credit cards, you'll also need cash when visiting these places. It's advisable to exchange some money, preferably in Indonesian Rupiah, as it's the local currency of Indonesia (1 IDR equals approximately 0.00059 USD).

3. Essential Tips for Traveling to Bali During Peak Season
The summer months are peak season, so here are some things to keep in mind:
Favorable Weather Conditions (image: Nhung Bống)
🔹Book your hotel early, especially popular ones on social media platforms like Instagram where many people go to check in.
🔹For famous attractions, it's best to go in the morning, the earlier the better. For example, when visiting the renowned Lempuyang Gate, aim to arrive when the temple opens at 6 a.m., but be prepared to wait 1-2 hours for photos. If you arrive later, the wait could be 3-4 hours.
🔹All residents and tourists visiting Indonesia must carry personal identification documents, as required by the country's laws. Therefore, tourists visiting Bali must always carry their passport with them.
🔹In Indonesia, the circulation of prohibited substances, stimulants, narcotics, and certain medications is strictly prohibited. Some sleep aids, high-dose painkillers, and medications containing codeine for treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are also on the list of banned substances. Therefore, if you must use medication, consult a doctor and bring a prescription (if available).
