During your Bali trip, there are some things you should avoid doing in order not to get into conflict with the law and traditions. These include:

1. Going to temples in private clothes: Balinese temples have certain dress codes that prohibit visitors from going in swimwear or revealing clothing. Cover your shoulders and knees and wear long pants or skirts.

2. Interact with wild animals: There are many exotic animals in Bali that do not want to be disturbed or touched. Avoid giving food to wild monkeys or touching snakes.

3. Drug use: drug possession and use are illegal in Indonesia and can be punished with severe penalties.

4. Underestimate weather: Bali's climate is tropical and it can be hot and humid throughout the year. Wear sunscreen every day and drink plenty of water (not tap water).

No. Foreign travelers (18 years and older) are required to provide English-language proof of two Covid19 vaccinations (at least 14 days prior to departure; counts as complete vaccination) and to use the Peduli Lindungi app, which must be filled out with personal information. For those fully vaccinated (at least 14 days prior to departure), the quarantine requirement does not apply.

For a trip to Bali, you should have your standard vaccinations up to date. These include the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccination and vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio.

It is also recommended to get vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B, as these diseases are common in Indonesia. If you are traveling in rural areas or in areas with a high risk of Malaria, vaccination against Malaria may also be considered.

In any case, you should consult your doctor or a travel vaccination center before your trip to learn about current vaccination recommendations and other health care advice.

Bali is located in the time zone CET +7, which means that in Indonesia it is already 7 hours later than in Germany.

The people of Bali are generally friendly and helpful and there is a strong community structure on the island. The culture in Bali is very diverse and rich in traditions and customs. The majority of Bali's inhabitants are Hindus and the island is known for its temples and religious celebrations. There are also many other religions in Bali, including Islam, Buddhism and Christianity.

Health care in Bali is generally good - however, there are differences in the quality and standard of facilities and services in different parts of the island.

In any case, you should take out travel insurance to ensure that you are adequately protected in case of illness or accident.

I also recommend that you carry a first aid kit. This can help you quickly in case of a fall or traffic accident.

Bali is generally a safe travel destination. There are occasional cases of crime, such as pickpocketing and fraud. Some tourists have had their cell phones stolen in traffic. So be extra careful here and always carry your valuables on your body.

Bali is a popular destination for wellness and yoga vacationers. Among them are many studios and spa facilities that offer traditional Balinese massages. This is a treatment you should definitely have done once.

Bali is also known for its surreal scenery and unspoiled nature, which comes in the form of cliffs, forests and rice terraces. So be sure to take a trip inland as well!
