Avoid succumbing to boredom in the airport terminal, and instead spend those precious hours before your next flight exploring Indonesia\u2019s island oasis. Cruise through the rice fields, search for seashells on the shores, or find peace at the inviting temples.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Arriving in the city<\/h2>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Cheap-Flights-To-Bali.d602651.Travel-Guide-Flights\">flight to Bali<\/a>\u00a0will arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS).

Monkeys swing from the treetops, and locals seek guidance at the nearby temples.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t mind trailing a little sand onto your next flight, spend your layover on the shores of the Bali beaches. For a stretch of sand just minutes from the airport, head north to Kuta Beach. A sweet spot to catch the sunset, Kuta offers surf-ready waves paired with an energetic vibe. Jump on a banana boat ride, or party at the al fresco restaurants and bars. Prefer clear, calm waters and a beach with palm trees bordering the coast? Slap on a snorkel mask and fins and slip into the sea at Nusa Dua Beach. For a quieter, more secluded oasis, relish the sea views from Balangan Beach, or make the trek through the forest down to the heavenly shores of Nyang Nyang Beach on the southern coast.<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p\/>\n<div class=\"small-width-image-container lansdscape-50243ba7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/default-source\/user-jamey\/body--bali-[size_512x290].jpg\" id=\"landscape-50243ba7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"Title\"\/><\/div>\n<p>Bali has more than just sand and sea, though. For a cultural excursion, make your way to Tanah Lot, one of Bali\u2019s seven sea temples. It sits on a rock formation offshore, which was originally shaped by the tide and then later reconstructed. The temple is magnificent and certainly worth a visit, but be forewarned, swarms of vendors and souvenir shops surround the sacred spot. To discover another divine destination, head east to reach the Taman Ayun Temple of Mengwi. Built in 1634, the temple is surrounded by a moat. Inside the complex, you\u2019ll come across perfectly manicured gardens, multi-tiered shrines, and courtyards.<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<div class=\"small-width-image-container lansdscape-62243ba7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/default-source\/user-jamey\/body--bali-rice-field-[size_512x290].jpg\" id=\"landscape-62243ba7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"Title\"\/><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re lucky enough to have longer than a 24-hour layover, book a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Bali-Hotels.d602651.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">hotel in Bali<\/a>, and pack in even more adventures. With time to spare, embark on one of the many day trips from Bali. Sail over to nearby Lembongan Island and scuba dive around the barrier reef, or head east to Lombok, where you can hike through rice and tobacco fields.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you spend your down time moseying around the temples or reveling at the seaside, we guarantee the view will be better than the one at the airport. So what are you waiting for? Get out and explore Bali before boarding your next flight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <strong>What are you favorite beaches and temples to visit in Bali?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p
