Denpasar

After you touch down in Denpasar, stick around a while to see what the capital has to offer.

When people think of Bali, they tend to think of beautiful beaches with perfect waves breaking on an offshore reef. The city of Denpasar is as much a part of Bali as those postcard-perfect beaches you hear about. Whether you come check out places like the Pura Maospahit or to sample strange foods in Kereneng Night Market, a holiday in Denpasar is something to write home about.

Too far from Kuta Beach... 1 hour drive.... more during peak hours. Facilities like dining shopping malls etc not close by. GOA - INDIA is much better in most ways. But to give the devil his dues the city has no tall buildings or even 1 tower G

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Sanur is a great place to start seeing some of Bali. Plenty of boat trips available and access using taxis or hiring a driver for the day. Shopping can be a bit repetitive with lots offering the same. Plenty of places to eat to suit all budgets.
