Be Cautious of Traffic at These Tourist Spots During Eid Holiday in Bali

Several popular tourist areas in Bali are predicted to become traffic bottlenecks during the extended Eid holiday in 2026. The Bali Transportation Agency (Dishub) has mapped out several destinations that are likely to experience heavy vehicle congestion as tourist arrivals increase.

The head of Bali’s Transportation Agency, I Kadek Mudarta, stated that congestion is expected at several tourist destinations that are consistently busy during holiday periods.

“Generally speaking, the busiest holiday destinations in Bali are around Kuta, Canggu, Semigita-Seminyak, Legian and Kuta,” Mudarta said when met in Denpasar on Tuesday, 10 March 2026.

“There’s also Tanah Lot, Ubud and Bedugul. These are the favourite destinations that receive many visitors,” he added.

In addition to tourist areas, Mudarta mentioned that access to Ngurah Rai Airport also has the potential to experience traffic congestion during the Eid holiday period.

“Of course, one of the traffic bottleneck points is access around the airport, so both on airport roads and along the Bypass Ngurah Rai, especially areas near the airport heading towards Kedonganan (south),” Mudarta said.

To anticipate congestion, the Bali Transportation Agency’s personnel will conduct patrols and maintain presence at several key points, particularly around airport entry and exit routes.

“Generally speaking, Bali Transportation Agency personnel will patrol and be stationed around airport access routes,” he said.

He added that monitoring at tourist destinations will also involve the transportation agencies of each regency according to their respective areas.

“But for transportation officers in each regency according to their destination areas, for Ubud for example it would be monitored by the Gianyar Transportation Agency,” he explained.
