Denpasar is a
busy city and usually not visited by tourists though it has it's own charm
and many different interesting things to see.
If you are looking for some bargains shopping then get to Denpasar. Things are much cheaper than you'll find in the tourist places like Kuta, Seminyak and Nusa Dua. There are 2 huge markets called Pasar Kumbasari and Pasar Badung which are right next to each other seperated by the Badung River. Rather than large open air markets these are multi story buildings with hundreds of stalls on each level. You'll see a great selection of spices, fresh food and vegetables as well as good priced sarongs, textiles, handicrafts and clothing. Right next to Pasar Badung is Jalan Sulawesi which is lined with shops selling textiles of all kinds. Generally with Indonesian and Indian designs you can find general fabrics. At the top end of Jalan Sulawesi next to the Pasar Badung is a small open market selling fruit and vegetables.
Bali Museum in Denpasar located on Jalan Mayor Misnu is open Sun-Thurs 8am-3pm and Fri 8am-1pm. There are some great displays of Balinese culture and history. Restaurants in DenpasarRight next door to the Pasar Kumbasari is the Hong Kong Restaurant Chinese and Seafood serving great Chinese food including Cantonese, Sichuan as well as some Vietnamese and Thai dishes.
