Above is a good map of Bali, provided by Lonely Planet. Bali is easy to navigate but larger than many people expect. Because its attractions are dispersed across the island, Bali is a destination that should be explored with the help of a good map.

Google maps are great online resources that allow visitors to plot their course while in Bali. The huge amount of internet cafes and high broadband speeds available in these places mean that getting lost is not really possible in Bali since Google maps are comprehensive and continuously updated, and offer a handy service of directions to and from where ever a person is currently located.

All guide books, naturally, will have updated maps and these are a great resource that many visitors bring to Bali with them. The best thing about guide book maps is that they split maps up into areas and sections and offer close up maps of areas like Kuta and Ubud that contain detail like street names, locations of hotels and resorts, museums and restaurants.

All tourist centres in Denpasar, Kuta, Ubud and Nusa Dua will be able to give visitors fold out maps of Bali and these are usually very current and comprehensive also. There are special maps for art and museum tours that are held in the front desks of most galleries and art shops in Ubud and these can be used to plot good walking tours.
