administrative center. Unlike other island or
hinterland in Indonesia, this cosmopolitan city’s
style contrasts with the calm Hindu temples, lush
terrace, and beautiful beaches.
Venturing further north and deeper inland will
take visitors to stunning natural beauty of
another kind, green, lush mountains and hilly
rice terraces. The town of Ubud can be found
here, the island's hub for the arts, with museums
and lots of arts and craft shops.
Elsewhere on the island you can nd the West
Bali National Park (west Bali), quiet and
secluded beaches (north Bali), small coastal
villages and volcanoes (east Bali) and fantastic
diving spots (southeastern islands).

SHOPPING
Surachai Boon-ngamsom / Shutterstock.com
Shopping in Bali is rich in artwork and
handicrafts. Markets and stalls throughout the
island showcase long-held traditions of wood
carving, silver and gold craft, embroidery and
more, particularly in Ubud, the island's cultural
hub. Urban areas also have modern shopping
centres that cater to all your shopping and
entertainment needs, the most prominent being
the pleasant Kuta Beachwalk.
Among Pasar Badung, you can nd shops and
stalls selling all kinds of goods, from fresh sh,
fruits, vegetables to Bali and Java crafts and

Yet, Bali's best shopping destination is not in
Denpasar, but in the vicinity of Kuta and Sanur
beach resort, or in the Ubud mountain resort,
that are less than an hour's drive from the city.
Kuta is a good place to buy cheap beachwear and
trendy jewelry. You can go to Ubud to buy the

satisfactory price.
