Know before you land: Indonesia
Covering Bali
Land in Bali knowing what to pay, which apps to use and what to skip.
Checking the sky…
Land in Bali calm and prepared. This guide walks you through arrival — the tourist levy, the visa on arrival and the free arrival card — then getting around with ride-hailing apps, metered taxis or a scooter, and what fair prices look like. It also covers staying well: tap water and 'Bali belly', monkeys around temples, mosquitoes, sun and sea safety, plus quieter corners of East and North Bali. Every fact links to its source, with the date we last checked it.
