Get a taste for the many cultural and historical sights in Denpasar during this half-day excursion with a local guide. There’s no better way to take a deep dive into the rich cultural heritage of Bali, both historical and contemporary, than via this exploration of the island’s most populous city.
Start your trip with pickup from your hotel by your guide. From there, continue on to the historic Puputan Square situated in the Denpasar’s city center. This busy gathering place is a favorite of locals and travelers alike, thanks to its mix of open space and intriguing monuments. Check out the memorial to the Balinese family, which commemorates the battle of the rajas of Badung against the invading Dutch army in 1906.
Continue from there to Bali’s Museum, just adjacent to the former royal palace. Wander the museum’s collection, admiring its range of artifacts covering everything from 20th-century art to pre-historic times. The museum is also home to a range of items celebrating Indonesian culture such as musical instruments, sculptures, theatrical masks, textiles, and paintings. Keep your eyes out for exhibits dedicated to Balinese tooth filing as well as marriage and cremation events.
Proceed next to the colorful Pasar Badung, a sprawling market where locals head to sell and bargain for everything from food to home goods. This pasar (an Indonesian word for ‘market’) is the largest on Bali, and features such foodstuffs as spices, fruits and other edibles sourced from across the island. After honing your bargaining skills, head to a nearby supermarket (the Indonesian equivalent of a department store) to wander the aisles and purchase food (at your own expense).
Make your last stop of the day at the Bali Art Center, which hosts a permanent collection of wood carvings and modern art. The center’s collection is located in a traditional Balinese-style structure and also includes exhibits on the island’s architecture. Finish your excursion with a return trip back to your Bali hotel.

This classic urban park draws many locals and is a great place to learn about Bali’s colonial history. You’ll find a monument depicting a heroic Balinese family in the square, which commemorates the suicidal battle of the rajas of Badung against the invading Dutch militia in 1906.
