Comment from John Reality

One of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets for market shopping is the city of Denpasar. Though many guide books recommend venturing away from Bali’s capital city, its markets provide opportunities for interacting with the Balinese people, purchasing local wares, and sampling local specialties. Being the multicultural city that it is, you are sure to engage with other international visitors as well as you take in the sights.

If you are in the mood for going to markets, your first stop should be Jalan Gajah Mada. In addition to the many shops selling locally-made fabrics, particularly silk, and other wares, Jalan Gajah Mada is home to the Badung Central Market.
