A home to a number of important cultural landmarks, exploration starts from the substantial historical site; the Pura Jagatnatha temple, which was built in 1953 and serves as a cultural center for Balinese Hinduism. The temple is dedicated to the supreme god Sanghyang Widi Wasa and is a great place to learn about Balinese religion and spirituality.
The Bajra Sandhi Monument is another important historical site in Denpasar – It is a large, striking monument that commemorates the struggle of Balinese independence. Located in a beautiful park, visitors can climb to the top for stunning views of Denpasar and the surrounding area.

One of the other main draws of Denpasar is its traditional markets, which offer a fascinating glimpse deeper into local life and commerce. The Pasar Badung market is the largest market in Bali and is a must-visit destination for foodies, offering an incredible selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and local delicacies. The Kumbasari market market is another popular destination, offering a wide range of goods including textiles, handicrafts and souvenirs. It’s a great place to pick up some unique gifts and souvenirs to take home.
From there, heading to the beach for a laid-back atmosphere: Sanur has a more relaxed and slower pace compared to other parts of Denpasar, which makes it a great place to unwind and recharge.
