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.

It’s what you make it. Indonesia is a developing country and has all those things that are associated with it as such. Be prepared accordingly and bring plenty of sun tan lotion, light clothing and only drink bottled water and enjoy what it is.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Bali is so good because it is close to Perth and quick flight to get there. The same time zone as Perth is good. The Balinese are so nice and friendly and their cooking is amazing. The beer is always served ice cold. Everything is affordable.
