It is located at the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. Its capital of Denpasar is located at the southern part of the island.

Bali is a popular tourist destination, which has seen a significant rise in tourists since the 1980s. It is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music. The Indonesian International Film Festival is held every year in Bali.
Bali is part of the Coral Triangle, the area with the highest biodiversity of marine species. In this area alone over 500 reef building coral species can be found. For comparison, this is about 7 times as many as in the entire Caribbean. There is a wide range of dive sites with high quality reefs, all with their own specific attractions. Many sites can have strong currents and swell, so diving without a knowledgeable guide is inadvisable. Most recently, Bali was the host of the 2011 ASEAN Summit, 2013 APEC and Miss World 2013.

Vi åker, vi åker på, vi åker på en tur, vi åker på en tur du och jag
vi har packat våran bil
Vi stannar, vi stannar inte, vi stannar inte här, vi stannar inte här
en till dag, vi ska fara många mil
Jag sitter vid ratten och styr, vaken på trafiken utanför
Du rättar till din frisyr och ur radion vi hör
Bilmusik på väg
Bilmusik på väg
Jag blinkar, jag blinkar på, jag blinkar på en bil, jag blinkar på en
bil utanför, han måste tända sina ljus
Du vinkar, du vinkar till, du vinkar till en last, du vinkar till en
lastbilschaufför som har lasten full av grus
Vi håller anpassad fart, tänker på djuren utanför
Vevar ner ett fönster såklart och ur radion dom hör bilmusik på väg
